I kind of hate this framing though I completely understand it and why you would use it. And in some ways I agree with it.

I know many, many Christians with hearts. I feel like a better framing is "some rare exotic animal... A Christian *leader* with a heart"

Colorado is second in the league with around $5M in GAM and roster spots open. What will we do, if anything, before the window closes?

The closer we get the less I want to put into getting to at least one game in Seattle. Plus I noticed the Arvada Center is having a concert of a Celtic group I like the night of Egypt - Iran (maybe) in Seattle, the game I felt like might be the easiest one to get tickets to.

Thanks to that high speed chase in east Denver ending just before I got to 1-70 and 225 it took me a full 2 hours to get from Arvada to the airport tonight.

My newest addition, the @goballardfc.bsky.social Nordic kit. It’s lovely and as a native Seattleite the UW Medicine and Pagliacci Pizza sponsors are good reminders of home.

I realize its spring training and meaningless, but seeing the Padres score 13 runs in one inning after the first batter in the 2nd grounded out is impressive regardless of the type of game.

(And somewhat depressing as a Mariners fan)

No, we don't agree on that. I have no issue with the current offside rule. I have an issue with how VAR, particularly in the PL, is handling the rule but the fundamental rule doesn't bother me.

And this suggestion doesn't fix the VAR issue.

Odd timing for this gif as a year ago next week I stood on the exact spot where that was filmed, and I'm going to see Jurassic Park at the Alamo tomorrow night.

At least when the Rapids brought in Ilic he was intended to compete for the starting role and eventually took it. (And was a disaster that led to signing Steffen)

Sure, fine, I get that. But changing the line from "any part of the attacker ahead of the defender" to "all parts of the attacker ahead of the defender" won't eliminate it. At all. You're drawing the exact same line for the exact same reasons, you're just changing where the line is drawn.

One was a career Navy man, the other served in the Merchant Marine in WWII then worked in facilities for a bank before retiring early to take care of my grandmother after her stroke.

I've provided data used in American major league sports broadcasts. Multiple times.

I didn't go and I don't think BW did either, having it during the kickoff tailgate was either very bad or very good timing, depending on your POV.

Surprising nobody, our futility in Utah between 2007 and 2019 was the second longest streak in MLS history.

Ok, I was right about the Rapids being worse in Utah than the Sounders. 🀣

This (and of course the actual attack on Iran) is how I've always thought the World Cup might not go off. All the calls/expectations than the ICE-gestapo or the rattling sabers over Greenland would do it was never going to happen.

Not letting teams come and being in an active war? That will do it.

Come now, if MLS removed everything that "didn't make sense" from the stats there would be no MLS stats.

I could see arguing for 29, but Montreal is trash and deserves 30.

Canada and Mexico don't have enough stadiums at the level FIFA has set to host on their own. I'm not sure all of CONCACAF does if you exclude the U.S. FIFA will either need to reduce their expectations (ha!) or move it out of CONCACAF.

Or ignore all of this and proceed, which they will.

With the Seahawks win a month ago I might give you that. You do have two World Series against Seattle's two Super Bowls now.

Unless we're counting the Minneapolis Lakers. 🀣

I don't understand how you draw that conclusion given the example up thread. We're still going to be drawing lines but with this rule we're looking for overlap instead of no overlap. Its the exact same decision.
