I’m usually hesitant to do fantasy MLS these days, but this one has me excited. H2H, bidding system to buy players. I’m very eager to see this in action.

This is just the tickets, too. Doesn’t factor in parking, food, beer. I mean…geez.

Not gonna lie…I was pulling for the Caps in this one. Miami just had too much juice up front.

That groan was loud for Paraguay. Yep, that is the USMNT’s opener now. Wow.

Wow, Australia with the USMNT in Group D? Okay.

Trump saying soccer should be football and NFL should be something else was not something I imagined hearing today.

You’re the leader of your country and you have to do the World Cup draw, too? Oh man, that is hilarious.

I wish Grant Wahl was here rn

Oh Lord, he handed Trump a mic? This thing is going to take hours.

Good lord that “Peace Prize” trophy is comically large.

Wow, this may be the worst song I’ve heard in some time.

Yeah, this draw is already a bit much.

Damn, I must have a few bots scraping my Ghost CMS site today. Massive spike in traffic (like 5x the norm). Any suggestions @ghost.org?

Miami and Vancouver in a MLS Cup? Weird, but I am here for it.

Nothing like being at a brewery on a Saturday, that has live acoustic music that takes requests. He was mostly doing covers and I thought, why the hell not, let’s submit a song.

I had the guy attempt Beastie Boys‘ Sabotage.

Not gonna lie, he nailed it. Now I regret not recording it.

That may be the only positive for me. I do like seeing everyone at least once a year in this shift.

Five divisions makes my head hurt so much. I’d rather keep conferences and have three divisions within each conference. But I may be on an island with that logic.

Man, this Seattle-Minnesota game may be an instant classic for #MLS.

Friendly tip for some Ghost users who came over from SubStack…take the time to go through your subscribers you imported and remove the deadweight (ie: those who are never active with your content). Sure your ‘numbers’ go down, but you end up with a cleaner list.

Just as I was considering ditching this subscription…looks like I’ll renew next month when it comes up. Good to see Tom back there.

Last night's #FCDallas media game was a ton of fun, even in the heat. Kudos to the FCD media team for putting it all together.

Oh snap. @ghost.org 6.0 is out. Great way to start the new week for publishers like myself.

Folks, has anyone ever moved their parents across the country? Looking for any advise on that subject since mine are planning to relocate to Texas in the coming months (its a good thing, I promise).

Looking at all of the new third kits that just dropped…I really love the FC Dallas and Minnesota ones the most. Colorado, Columbus, DC, NE and SJ are decent throw backs. Seattle and Nashville are fine, too. Really not sure what they did to Charlotte, though.

Gotta love realtor listings. Came across one today that said “in the heart of Richardson”…I thought cool, that must be near by…nope…its in the top corner of the city map and a street away from being in Murphy. 🤣 I guess that is where the heart of Richardson is located.

Hoping to get @bigdsoccer.com on the verified side again.

Nothing like the day before a big international flight getting a ‘your flight has been cancelled’ message in your inbox. Thankfully, it got worked out and rebooked within an hour. Let’s hope that is the only travel bump.

So March Madness starts today…cool. Crazy how I used to make four or five brackets each year with the hope of winning big at the office or with friends. Now…I think I have one office bracket and even that I picked most games on a whim.

I’m fairly conflicted with this idea for the USL. On one hand, I’m happy to see them give this a try (even if it feels more like a marketing thing). But on the other, I don’t see it moving the needle in the long run. There are more questions than answers right now.

Really cool project that should get more time in the spotlight. Steve and his team continue to do amazing work in the community.
