“So, everyone…. Did you see that ludicrous display last night? What was Shanahan thinking sending um…….Gropooloo um.. on early. You know, the thing about the 49ers is that they always try to walk it in! Well, you know I’ve been a 49ers fan most of my life but I have family that are Chieftans fans so it’s great for me no matter what.

It’s like when Bob Bradley was forced to put Mark-Anthony Kaye on the field after Latif Blessing had to come off due to injury. You know that Bradley didn’t adjust to the way in which the Sounders were disrupting the gameplan. You could say that Raul Ruidiaz is really just the same as.. um….. Mayhomes.

Did you know that BOTH of the owners of the teams in the game have stakes in Major League Soccer franchises? There’s probably a team near you that you could follow. Plus the NWSL is, well, mostly near you.

Have you ever been to a game? Well if you went to a game it would change your mind. Trust me, it’s much cheaper than an NFL game. Look, I’m not saying it’s better. That’s not what I’m saying. I’m just saying it’s different. And Better. Trust me. Hey, look at this goal from the Premier League. Oh, what team do YOU support? You should just pick a team. Did we talk about that Mayhomes supports Sporting Kansas City? Well, a sporting is just like a collect… no… look… it’s like um an athletic club. Yeah… well… no I don’t know if they play more sports. Yes, it might be membership driven. Anyway…. Well I’m excited for 2020, personally. Oh yeah, and instead of talking about the game last night, which really was a ludicrous display, how about that halftime show! Oh yeah, and those commercials, some of which were really grea….er…. terrible… yeah… terrible. Anyway…..

Anyone ready for some Futbol?”
