That level of energy is remarkable. Had I'd been at the parade, I would have never paid attention to him because I would've been standing at attention for Ciara. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm not mistaken, the MLS Cup Final in 2018 was played on a Saturday night - I think the same night as some of the college football conference championship games, but that pales compared to the NFL - so I'm not sure why any of TPTB thought "throw it up directly against NFL games on a Sunday". Just seems like a terrible idea that was destined to bring lower returns on TV ratings. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There you have it. Thanks. ABC was never going to bump any of their college football windows for the MLS Cup. The only one that might've made sense - the 3:30 window - would've been overrun by the LSU/Alabama game. MLS improved their playoff system this year but it left them with no real perfect solution for when to schedule their championship game. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if you want to know how bad it was: I just flew back to Tennessee from California by way of ATL this past Saturday--that darn LSU-Alabama game took over the whole freakin' plane! Like, I couldn't even enjoy my movie because of am of them! (Side note: credit Delta Air Lines for even offering in-flight entertainment now...thangs done changed since I last worked there in '06--and last flew almost ten years ago.) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digby 6,104 Posted November 13, 2019 19 hours ago, Brian in Boston said: If a story in The Valley Breeze newspaper is to be believed, Brett Johnson and his compatriots at Fortuitous Partners have not only proposed bringing a USL franchise to Pawtucket, RI, but are apparently planning for the team's soccer-specific stadium to be part of a $400 million development in the city. I'm still bitter about the PawSox nonsense so this news makes me happy, even if McCoy Stadium itself is beyond repair apparently. Even though the club will probably have a stupid name. Still, first time I've ever cared about USL, and Rhode Island/southeastern Massachusetts has such a long history with American soccer that it's nice to see something happening there again. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every time they get close to figuring out where they'll play, something happens to blow up in their face. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
