Work in sports. Most enjoy talking about the beautiful game, music and family. Parkinson’s knocks us down but we get back up (with a lot of help). #YNWA

I thought FH while traveling this week would be fine. I’ll guess in advance that it’ll be a lesson learned. Especially with me breaking my eyeglasses— I’m not even sure this is a picture of my team. Possible that I’m typing this on a potato rather than my phone.
Have a good weekend.

Last week before likely FH and then 5FT. So I was like the drunk guy at the supermarket making smart purchases. That jalapeño flavored beef jerky looked really good at the time.
OR 360k? 🧢🤖 because I won't 🧢MU again.

Winter has come. Have a good whatever-

Must admit that winter has caught me off guard. Guess someone should have raked up the leaves already.

Liz still upset about LFC. Takes it out on Casemiro. Malen in. My hand trembled briefly over the TC chip activation button. It always does that (Parkinson's). Thankfully I didn't accidently push it.
30.6m in bank. All non-WC first-half chips remain.

Quietly slips the FH chip back into his pocket with one hand while loudly slapping the TC chip onto the table with the other one.
OR 352k. TC 🤖 VC Sarr.
Big Gabby makes way for NOR.
Seems a bit of a crapshoot with these defenders this week.

No defender I wanted in place of Big Gab given the four others in my squad so FT rolled. Chips remaining: TC, FH.
OR 370k. Captain alternative to 🤖 considered but can anyone outscore a hypoxic chamber 🤖?

Tried waiting until GW12 to WC, but too many problems as exhibited by OR drop from 17k a few weeks ago to 266K currently. Chips remaining: TC, FH.
I prefer playing with 5 cheap defenders rotating based on fixtures but not having Arsenal D / set pieces untenable.

The boy and his Northern Illinois University teammates outshot and outplayed nationally ranked UMKC but couldn’t finish off the upset tonight. Good goal off a long lung-busting run into the box by my fav player.

This should be a fun final. Have watched both teams a lot this summer (and of course watched all Peoria City matches to see my son). High level of play and great fan support in USL-2. Can watch free at 7pm ET via USL-2 or WCAX web streams.
It’s Matchday in Burlington, VT. One more.
The USL League Two Final. 144 teams started, 2 remain. Vermont Green FC will face Ballard FC tonight at Virtue Field for the right to be called Champion.
We know all of Vermont is with us. Come on you Boys in Green.

This is a tough one for me. My son played for Peoria City this season. I’ve lived in VT and have cheered for the Green since they came to USL2. But Super Richie’s dad, mom and I were track/XC teammates for the Dartmouth Big Green. That stuff’s even stronger than kryptonite

Coming August 2nd to Burlington, VT is 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧𝘼𝙢𝙖𝙣 as Richie returns home to the Northeast for the National Final!
With one goal and ELEVEN assists this season, Richie has been moving “faster than a speeding bullet” and giving opposing defenses trouble all season long.
