The league I'm in has a team named "Gerrard didn't have AIDS until Fernando Torres butthole open"

Born in Edmonds, raised in University Place. If you golf, Chambers Bay is a new course that will be hosting the US Open in 2015. That course is only a quarter mile from the house I grew up in. It's gorgeous, public, but sparsely used for some reason (probably the $150+ greens fees). Moved...

I guess I should have read your whole post before offering dinner suggestions. Next time you make it out here, take a ferry ride to Bainbridge and back to get the western skyline view. Also Kerry Park on Queen Anne has a fantastic view of the city. You could still conceivably do that...

The weather was a little suspect today, but glad you're enjoying yourself. We're in that part of the year where summer and fall are waging a schizophrenic war on alternating days. You downtown? Let me know if you need any dinner recommendations if you're staying longer than today.

He absolutely obliterated the US in the Gold Cup final on Sunday. Granted none of the US regulars really played (and not that we're great shakes or anything), but dos Santos was the best player on the pitch by far.

Those shirts are so ******* filthy. Swag up.

The guys flew up to Edmonton Friday night so it's unfortunately the end of the Seattle excursion as I understand it. As far as Yak, they held him out of the actual scrimmage but he took part in the finishing drill. Looks like they're not trying to force anything with him. I'd be surprised...

Just my luck the camera ran out of batteries. Plenty of other people were there with cameras so I'm sure something will surface.

It was fun to see the players up close. Everyone was loose and having a good time. Best part was a drill where four teams of two attackers received crosses from Baines, Pienaar, and Osman among others. It was a race to ten goals. Jo and Saha nipped Cahill and Fellaini (I believe that's who...

but I'll take it. One of my friends writes for the MLS site and will be at training this week. Schedule permitting I will be tagging along. Can't believe my luck!

Real Emotional Trash - Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks

Depends on what you believe. If you are in the ever shrinking camp that believes homosexuality is a choice I can see why you wouldn't agree with me. It would also suggest that you don't really know any gay people. It seems to me that the anti-gay majority seeks to impose their position on...

Get real TX Bill. Whether or not gays marry or have equal rights has zero effect on the people who are so put out by the notion. It's just something that gets them to vote republican, or feel righteous/better about their terrible marriages. I don't have to respect people who view...

wow I confess I'm not up on worldviews towards homosexuals, but a handful of posts in this thread come off as pretty pathetic. I thought baseless bigotry was a US thing. Step your game up.

Seattle Sounders FC!! Seattle is getting an MLS expansion team for next year. Seattle Sounders FC have Kasey Keller (local boy) and Freddie Ljungberg (past his prime maybe but fun for MLS). For whatever reason they waived the soccer specific stadium requirement which will lead to the same...
