MLS Wins and Losses: Week 29
As always you can hear rather than read this on this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast when that comes out. It’s remarkable really just how much farting in elevators that Hauptman does, the man has no shame. Well, it’s a good job TFC won on the weekend as this was a remarkably productive week in the…

South Stand Report : Toronto v. Portland
What a week. Full of emotions, frustrations and secretive deals and negotiations, years of broken promises, misleading statements, and it finally came to a head. The Leafs signed Babcock. Kidding, fuck the Leafs. Pointyball is getting shoehorned into our once soccer specific stadium. (seriously, fuck them) So now that that dog and pony show has…
