Something Something Sporting Kansas City Something
Unless you have made the pilgrimage out to LIVESTRONG Sporting Park you probably haven't seen Sporting Kansas City's WWE intro-meets-highlight reel pre-game video before. It's cool that the players get a hype video like this (needs more Graham Zusi tho...
Remember Rochester?
I wish someone would do a documentary on the rise & fall of the Rochester Rhinos. 7 or 8 years ago they were the darlings of the U.S. second division with a U.S. Open Cup title to their name, outdrawing a few MLS teams at the gate and getting a SSS at ...
SKC’s Trash is La Liga’s Treasure (Allegedly)
So a few days ago K.C. cut Sunil Chhetri. Now there are reports that La Liga's Racing Santander is after him. Really?You're telling me that a guy that only appeared as a sub twice --once in the Open Cup and once against Manchester United-- is being ser...
Ooooooooh Canada…
Oh Canada I have so much love for you. My favorite city on the continent resides within your borders (Montreal), my preferred icewine is Inniskillin and your ability to own firearms while simultaneously suppressing the urge to shoot everybody up is bey...

A Special Dedication to FC Dallas and the Wizards
The Comeback by The Shout Out Louds. Good song for a pair of great, gutsy come-from-behind performances last night; both teams refused to lay down and you have to respect that. As I am taking a vacation day today (and tomorrow) I'll drink to the both o...

Today in Stadium P0rn: K.C. Wizards Commercial Edition
Teal Bun B and Double K botch it & scarper at the site of the new Wizards stadium. Can't believe how quickly that place is getting built; hopefully a good portion of the 52K that went to Arrowhead yesterday will want to come out to it.
Manchester United 1-2 Kansas City Wizards: United’s American Tour Hits Snag
Having reported on United’s earlier stop in Philadelphia last week to mixed results, I feel the need to continue my so called ‘following’ of the club as they continue their trek across America before ending it in Mexico. Don’t call this a match report or match analysis, outside circumstances kept me from devoting the time...
