“I-I-I don’t think we get that.”
“Just turn to ESPN2”
And with that, my adventure began. I didn’t want to watch the FC Dallas/New England Revolution game at home so I decided to go somewhere where soccer was not king (pretty easy to find…I chose Buffalo Wild Wings), attempt [...]

By: Robert | Comments 1 Comment

Welcome once again to my world famous player ranking system…the one with girls. By now you should already understand the concept. Better play = more attractive women. But if for some reason you need a refresher course, here’s the original concept.
Today, we’re discussing the Hoops 2-0 win over Chivas USA. If you missed my [...]

50 Cent writes a song for FC Dallas!!!

By: Robert | Comments No Comments

I don’t want to turn this “music lyrics as form of sports analysis” into a regular thing here because I’m sure it’s been done before somewhere else. But sometimes inspiration strikes and yesterday while I was at the gym (longtime readers will remember something like this is my New Year’s resolution) 50 Cent’s “I Get [...]

Bobby “the Brain” Heenan discusses FC Dallas, Beckham and more.

By: Robert | Comments 1 Comment

Welcome to an extra-special FC Dallas post, today I have “put together” an “interview” with former wrestler/manager/wrestling commentator and legend Bobby “the Brain” Heenan. If you don’t know the man’s work, where were you in the 80s?
But have no fear I tracked down a clip of his stuff on Youtube (although I’ll be honest, [...]

Tony Kornheiser is wrong about America (and why he probably needs to re-think his views on soccer)

By: Robert | Comments 4 Comments

“It’s not our game” – Tony Kornheiser
Words we’ve heard over the airwaves many times whenever the beautiful game is discussed on PTI. These four words are used to hide the fact Tony Kornheiser knows little about soccer other than the existence of Pelé and David Beckham. And although we know his “our” is a euphemism [...]

This has been done before, I know, but not by me therefore it’s new (in a Goodwill/Salvation Army kind of way).
