I actually like the Thorns kit in a vacuum. But why have Portland soccer teams decided to abandon their colors?

Only bested by how good Silvestre's first 30 minutes as a Timber were for RBNY.

5 minutes before the first game of the MLS season and Apple TV has not 1 second of content before the match

It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.
