United's opponent, Columbus Crew, has had its own drama this season, most of it off the field. Owner Anthony Precourt announced his intent to move the charter MLS club to Austin, TX, which touched off the #savethecrew movement. Just a few weeks ago, the league announced that an ownership group headed by Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam was purchasing the team and keeping in in Columbus. Carpetbagger/scumbag Precourt is getting an expansion team in Austin, so nefarious scheming still pays in Trump's America.
While the #savethecrew drama was playing out, Crew head coach Gregg Berhalter (the extra 'g' is for Gregg) is widely rumored to be the next head coach of the US Men's National team. His live man walking story may have contributed to the Crew's stumbling finish to the season. They went from solidly within the playoff safe zone to needing help to qualify, losing seven of their final ten games.
DC United, meanwhile, won seven of ten, so they're the form side.
But as Olsen says as part of a much better preview than this hastily-dashed-off drivel (seriously, don't fact check this fucker), "“It’s better to be in form and getting results, but in the end, it doesn’t matter. You have to show up on Thursday, be the better team, and make the plays that make the difference.”
Roll the balls out, let 'em play. Vamos DC!

I can’t believe how much I’ve spent on LOL dolls over the past two weeks.
ReplyDelete!Vamos Rob!
ReplyDeleteWith work and kid sports, I will struggle to watch much of this live, unfortunately.
Carpetbagger/scumbag... now that’s double-bagging
ReplyDeleteNever been to Austin but it’s on the list
Grabbing a quick bite at the bar of nice restaurant before class. Cheesy mf near me hitting on a pair of women and they are loving it.
ReplyDeleteDude: It’s like that song, you gotta wear sunglasses because things are too bright. You know that 80s song?
Woman: That ZZ Top song Sunglasses at Night?
Dude: No, not that. This is called You Gotta Wear Sunglasses Because Things Are Too Bright. Different song.
Woman: ohhhh... I don’t know. Yeah.
Me: [fucking dying. just fucking dying]
the timbuk 3 song?
ReplyDeleteis anyone else working hard on doing the "invisible box challenge"? i just learned about it today, but now i want to perfect it. it's really hard and my right quad is sore.
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.
ReplyDeleteWasn't the "invisible box challenge" last summer? That's a long time to be on one quad.
And DC headed to OT? Where is Rooney.
ReplyDeleteZoltan in for DC
ReplyDeleteThis match just got real fun. Nick of the Lion!
ReplyDeletePour some out for Dr. Z. I have fond recollections of being an SI subscriber throughout most of my youth.
ReplyDeleteoh, boy
ReplyDeleteRooney is no Zoltan
ReplyDeletethat was anticlimactic, in terms of the season’s arc
ReplyDeleteYes. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteIn related news, my 9 y/o has taken one penalty kick this fall (last Sunday) and took one last spring. He managed to put both off the crossbar. Such an inconceivable turn of events for an 8/9 y/o. All he has to do is put it anywhere near a lower corner and he will get it past a kid w/ a pinney who got stuck playing goal for a half.
So he will have some empathy for Ponce de Leon, who blew it during PKs.
I’m overserved. It took all of my powers to avoid passing out in the uber.
ReplyDeleteYou should’ve puked out of it. All the cool kids are doing it.
ReplyDeleteWould you have passed out IN the Uber or ON the Uber?
ReplyDeleteBreaking this down should ensure lively conversation to last all day.
ReplyDeleteI would've physically passed out in the Uber. Like "Whitney was so drunk that he passed out in the Uber and drooled all over the seat."
ReplyDeletePassing out on the Uber would be more of a metaphysical thing. Like "Whitney was so drunk that he passed out on the Uber and never even made it outside to meet the car."
'whitney was so sloppy that the driver tied him to the roof, where he remained passed out ON the uber for the duration of the ride.'
ReplyDeleteAnybody else think that “invisible box” is a game that Cat made up to get Dave to leave her alone?
ReplyDeleteWhitney prefers Druber
ReplyDeleteany of you clowns accountants, or play one on teevee? i'm struggling with an argument regarding the incremental value of a new dollar of revenue and how to allocate fixed versus variable costs in building a pricing model. i'm throwing out lots of accounting principles, but my finance team has an advantage on me, in that they know what they're talking about. i have righteous indignation on my side. which is always fun, but not always effective.
ReplyDeleteI took Intermediate Accounting at W&M. It was the “weed-out” class for potential acccounting majors. I bricked the midterm. I then sat down w/ the professor, and asked for help. He looked at me and said “Tim, you’re swimming in the shallow end. We’re all out here in the deep end. I need you to swim out to me.”
ReplyDeleteI graduated as a Finance major.
"Buy high, sell low." That should win them over.
ReplyDeleteI've built my practice entirely on righteous indignation.
ReplyDeleteYou should ask MBA Whitney Druber
ReplyDeletei can't wait to say that to a student. that's amazing.
ReplyDeleterob, you should use an algorithm.
That was Prof Bill Geary, an elitist douche who reveled in the fact that W&M had a highly-ranked undergrad accounting program. The way he ran that program encapsulated everything I loathed about the undergrad biz school. I’m pretty sure Zman and I commiserated about this in our boxers while smoking cigs on the outside stairs of Unit M about 69 times.
ReplyDeleteTR knows me too well. I was going to say something about the accounting major but didn’t want to be dickish. TR baited me. Accounting majors thought they were hot shit. Makes no sense, they wind up counting someone else’s money. Biology majors were the coolest.
ReplyDeleteMight be time to blow up the Wizards.
ReplyDeleteAnd we all know history majors are the coolest.
that’s right, mark
ReplyDeleteSociology. This blog fascinates me.
ReplyDelete“The Deep End of Accounting” would be a good name for a fascinating blog.
ReplyDeleteI think Bama- LSU is a completely overrated rivalry at this point. Bama owns LSU. I don’t think tonight’s game will be close. In fact, I’m guessing that Northwestern-Notre Dame is the closer game tonight.
ReplyDeleteI am staying away from an LSU Bama prediction, but on the latter you are correct. If I wasn't rooting for ND, I'd put a small flyer on NW moneyline.
ReplyDeleteHuge fumble recovery for UK. Another UGA TD and this game may have gotten away from them quickly.
ReplyDeleteWould be cool if Florida was interested in playing some defense today. At least I’m outside drinking in a beer garden in fall weather.
ReplyDeletenew poll in texas has beto tied with cruz. i can't even begin to get my hopes up for that race. cruz is gonna win. but goddamn would seeing that smarmy cocksucker lose be a salve on a few of the psychic wounds of the past two years.
ReplyDeletetribe soccer beats delaware, 3-2, in the caa tournament quarterfinals. tr's recent comments about their head coach apparently bulletin board material in the 'burg.
ReplyDeleteRob’s thoughts on the Texas gubernatorial race are my thoughts on just about every state race in Florida. This state is (largely) racist and crooked and I have little faith the majority will elect those who are otherwise.
ReplyDeleteAlabama is a wrecking ball and LSU’s offense isn’t good. That was the basis for my comments/prediction earlier today.
ReplyDeleteI was wrong about Notre Dame though.
ReplyDeleteTwo Gators are starting for the Capital City Go Go. I need a shirt...
ReplyDeleteTeam TR road-tripped to West Point to see a fun Army-Air Force game today w/ FOG:TB Jay S. Great environment, plenty of amazing foliage on the drive up, and a very good Army team to watch.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful little part of the world.
we're gonna have a mini-summit there at some point this winter. we'll get you some gear.
ReplyDeletejay s as in saunders?
ReplyDeleteand west point is fucking gorgeous any time of the year. i bet it's particularly so now.
ReplyDeleteI already wanted a Go Go shirt because it’s a fantastic fucking name and Go Go is a cool sub regional subculture of music but having my boy Chiozza running point pushes it over the top.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven’t already it’s time to direct most of your attention to Oklahoma-Texas Tech.
ReplyDeleteHello Coach Kliff
ReplyDeleteNot gonna disagree with Shlara. Kliff is pretty dreamy.
ReplyDeletejust watched the final episode of the first season of ozark. holy shit, y'all. that's some amazing television.
ReplyDeleteThis Texas Tech-Oklahoma game is bananas. Even by Big 12 standards.
ReplyDeleteOooooh yeah. Ozark definitely left you wanting more.
ReplyDeleteHello Gheorghies
