Roman and his gallant defense of Geri beg to differ.  

Fuck Dan Dakich.

I am pretty sure pick up soccer is very common in some parts of the US. I grew up in DC’s Virginia suburbs and pick up soccer was a major deal on weekends. It might be different now, but in the 90s and early 00s school and park fields were always in use throughout the weekend. The park/school closest to my house (TJ…

Pardon my ignorance: of what body of water is North Shore north?

How young are you? I’m Gen X, ok? Gen X. We grew up with the second hippie movement in the 90s. Soul Asylum? Dreads.
