Let's talk about writing, books, MN sports, politics, art, science, philosophy, and, most importantly, puns. Living in New England, still feel Minnesotan. Sometimes have fever dreams about Jabberjaw.

I'd probably go a little higher--18-20-- only because I think there is enough defensive solidity built into this team to get points. And even if James only flashes here and there, maybe those flashes are enough to earn some early points. But it is hard to see them top half of MLS right now.

Given the offseason so far and the current state of the roster, 23rd seems fair. Massive concerns at striker and overall depth. And does the midfield have enough to drive/ control games as opposed to doing just enough to survive? And James is such an unknown for many reasons. #MNUFC

Well, the Bible does specifically command a woman to give herself to a man with a podcast mic, #riseandgrind in his bio, a sword tattoo, and a reel proclaiming "the earth is flat because, I mean, look at the gym floor. Totally flat." Why are you waiting, Ladies??

Solid depth piece. Just two or three players away … #MNUFC

If you look closely--VERY, VERY, VERY CLOSELY--you can see the phrases "Just two or three players away" and "Goals change games" embedded in the pattern. A true way to honor the past decade. #MNUFC

I assume the 3-2 base is the landing pad for James’ helicopter, yes?

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Loons attempt to negotiate just having 90 min of throws and corners, but SKC are poor sports and demand actual soccer be played. In an act of defiance, Loons have more than 40% possession.

Great move by Kubiak to try to get the first down on that play action despite Brady demanding they turtle up and go conservative. Mike Zimmer would’ve never allowed Kubiak to call that play. Zimmer would be choking him out right now.
