  1. When the best thing about your league are a few new stadiums scattered across the country, your league has issues.  That said, the play has gotten better and the academy system has improved dramatically.  The problems remain the godawful leadership, idiotic ownership structure, unnecessarily restrictive salary cap and unconscionably dumb regular season and playoff system. 

    Hopefully, the goal is ultimately to split the league into two 16-team leagues with promotion and relegation between those leagues and a champion determined by league results instead of the insanely pathetic current playoff system.  As it stands, MLS as an actual competition is basically meaningless.  The regular season is merely a playoff qualifier and the playoffs are a one-off crapshoot.  Only one 1-seed from either conference has made it to the final over the last 10 seasons (Toronto in 2017).  It will remain a Mickey Mouse league more than deserving of derision until it has a true league champion and some promotion/relegation.      

    BTW, aggy isn't known for bitching.  They are known for happily gobbling down the shit sandwiches they are fed on an annual basis.  Fuck that.

    Him naming the 3 Texas schools is likely because he found Columbus underwhelming and decided the state of Texas is where he wants to play.  I would say Texas is in the lead, but aggy is a very close second.  But I believe Sark feels him in.

    He's leaving tOSU because he has no chance to start next season and isn't guaranteed to start the following season.  

  3. The MLS as a competition sucks.  The regular season isn't meaningful without relegation and with the current playoff structure.  The playoffs are way too random with the one leg knockout structure.  The goal should ultimately be to create a MLS 1 and 2 with promotion and relegation between the leagues and a league champion determined based on regular season results.  

  4. January will obviously be huge.

    Canada: @ Honduras; USA; @ El Salvador

    USA: El Salvador; @ Canada; Honduras

    Mexico: @ Jamaica; Costa Rica; Panama

    Panama: @ Costa Rica; Jamaica; @ Mexico

     

    Somehow, Canada has not traveled to Central America yet.  4 of their 6 remaining fixtures are in Central America plus home games against the USA and Jamaica.  Good luck with that.  I'd be shocked if they keep the top spot and their undefeated record intact.

    The US has a huge opportunity next window with home matches against the two bottom teams and the big road match against Canada.  7 points should be the goal.  The US needs a cushion because the final 3 games are brutal: Mexico (A), Panama (H), Costa Rica (A).

    Mexico has its difficult games at home and will be looking for all 9.  They have had a very tough schedule so far and also finish with a manageable slate in US (H), bottom Honduras (A) and El Salvador (H).  Mexico will qualify.

    Panama should get 3 against Jamaica but this may be the closest they get to the Top 3.

    She was the attorney general for California and the DA for San Francisco. They both served the same number of years in public office. She’s no less experienced than Mike Pence. Don’t triple down on idiocy.

    I'm aware of her California positions.  They are nowhere near equivalent to Governor or Congressman.  Don't worry, no one doubts your unquestioning devotion to your party.  You remain in good standing.  Hack.

    It’s ok to admit you said something stupid.

    She most certainly is.  12 year congressman and Governor of Indiana.  It's ok to admit you are a partisan hack.

  7. Where did I say Palin's credentials or intelligence were comparable?  Palin is clearly a moron.  McCain's selection of her should have disqualified him from the presidency.  Harris is a mediocrity, the outcome of a backroom political deal.  Maybe Quayle is the better comparison.
