I know it’s been around for a while, and it’s not really relevant now that Bradley the Elder is no longer at the helm of the National Team. But seeing how I’m beaming with pride over Bradley the Younger’s career progress over the last twelve months, I don’t think it’s so bad to want the […]

ten words or less #36
Normally, this opening paragraph is an attempt by me to say something interesting, but I know that it likely never is. Yet I still feel the need to write in this space. It just looks better, especially when trying to place an attention grabbing picture at the top of an article. Everybody loves pictures. It’s […]
delayed reaction
Sometimes you want something to happen so badly for such a long time, that when the moment finally comes where you get what you’ve desired for so long, you often don’t know how to react to the situation. It’s an odd feeling, especially when you’ve probably pictured the moment a hundred times beforehand and just […]
the keys to the car
do you remember the first time you ever got to drive a car? i do. i remember feeling like i was a badass. “look at me, driving around with all of the other adults,” i recall thinking, despite the fact that i was just a naïve, pimply-faced 16 year old that was still struggling to control my pubescent […]
an eye to the future
i made a decision today, and that decision is to quit being upset with USSF and sunil gulati for bringing back bob bradley. my problems with bob as the USMNT manager are well documented, though he’s done an admirable job at the last two major tournaments. however, being the smartest retard in our group this […]
sometimes the timing isn’t right
The other day I was cutting the grass at my new house — which had grown quite long due to the previous tennants being lazy bastards — and was feeling like I was cutting elephant grass in India. It was a windy day, and as I was pushing through the nearly knee-deep grass, I saw what I thought to be a leaf […]
boarding passes, please
the build it up for this summer’s world cup has been, at times, agonizingly slow. this was especially true after last year’s drama-filled confederations cup and qualifying campaigns. don’t get me wrong, i’m thoroughly enjoying this european season. there’s been an near infinite amount of drama on that front as well (where to start? ghana […]
case in point
to quote will farrell’s character in zoolander, mugatu…. “i feel like i’m taking CRAZY PILLS!” well, at least any time i watch bob bradley’s u.s. national team play that is exactly how i feel. why do i feel that way? just let me tell you. honestly, i wasn’t expecting the u.s. team to win this […]
Final Thoughts on the Confederations Cup
Well, Bob Bradley certainly did his best to make me look like an ass. For two and a half straight games, he served me my words on a plate. A very cold plate. And until the second half of the Confederations Cup final against Brazil, he did that very well. But thank god for that second […]
It All Makes Sense Now
My fiancée Amie and I were watching the US Soccer team’s Confederations Cup semifinal against Spain the other night, and she had a moment of brilliance. She finally pinned what (not who) Bob Bradley looks like… Many have long suspected monotone Bob is a robot. But he’s not just any robot. Specifically, he is “Sonny” from the […]
