Pickle sidenote: if you’re choosing Vlasic over Claussen, you’ve got it all wrong.

I mentioned it in the previous Crew story, but the Crew does absolutely no marketing. None, especially to the thousands of college students and young professionals living within a mile of the stadium.

It’s pretty incredible how enormous of a jackass Precourt is showing himself to be. He’s taken the most tonedeaf option possible at each and every step of the way. Saying shit like “Hopefully the fans respect my ambition” comment when asked if he owes anyone an apology is absurd. 

Seriously. Dude probably went back to that concert and dropped $40 on five cans of bud light.

This is when you drop $5 for a quick shit and always-okay Spicy Italian, my friend.

Football Manager will break the strongest of men.

Aside from a few years and Greg Oden, the Schott has the feel and atmosphere of a dying ‘90s shopping mall. And yes, CBJ needed their own away from campus, but hindsight would suggest that maybe OSU could’ve held on for a minute while the McConnells got their shit together. An arena share with the big OSU games at…

Schottenstein Center mostly. Sure, both arenas get use but it’s use that could easily have been consolidated into one (and OSU basketball should’ve never left SJA).

Ds what

I could be wrong, but I attended OSU for seven years (fuck O-H-I-O, The, and anything else) and always felt like the Crew marketed very poorly to the fucking enormous population of college students right next door to their stadium.

Columbus already has an extra arena. Smart move by an out-of-town trust fund baby who’s only been in town for a few years to demand the city add an extra soccer stadium to the mix right before playoffs begin.

Seriously, how the fuck do they get worse every season? They’re gonna have to get creative next year, but they’ll somehow manage it.

Still, what I don’t get is the inability of these assholes to realize that, hey, putting out a winning product is a surefire way to make money. Losing to tiny islands, however, is not.

Alas, I am broke.

Fuck Gulati.

I hope Tito is our manager forever, but man, it feels like every single unnecessary roster move he made going into the series completely blew up in his face.

Seriously. If the ball is two inches wide of the WIDEST FUCKING GOALPOSTS EVER that could ever be set up for a team to qualify, it’s time for wholesale changes.

In his defense, that comment might have been the ~58th “Trinidad OR Tobago” joke I’ve seen in the last 15 hours.

Have Tim Howard’s feet moved yet?

Although they had no business sniffing the squad in the first place, guys like Timmy and his “lolz fuck the critics when all we need to do is win the next game” arrogance shouldn’t be immune from some serious criticism. As much as I hate guys like Lalas and to a lesser degree Twellman, I say let it pour for now.
