Another Quality Post (Not Really)

By: Jeremy | August 18th, 2009

With an upcoming game versus Seattle on the horizon, I decided to pull this 2008 article from The Onion.

SEATTLE—After witnessing its baseball team finish in last place, its NFL team break its streak of five straight playoff appearances, and its NBA team leave for Oklahoma City, Seattle received another blow with the addition of a new Major League Soccer franchise, the Sounders FC.

“I mean, I sat through all 11 of the Huskies’ losses, but this is worse than any of that,” said Seattle resident Dusty Warren, who watched in resignation as the MLS expansion draft aired on a nearby television. “People will be wearing those jerseys and making up stupid chants for weeks before they realize they’ve been had. It’s almost as insulting as when that WNBA team won the title.” The mood in the city darkened even further when partial Sounders owner Drew Carey pledged to be a visible presence around the team and perform throughout the city year-round.

If you read my posts you know I enjoy articles that have a certain bullshit quality to them. So, while going through some bullshit sources this morning, I found a link to this site. Yes, I know it has nothing to do with the Dynamo but nobody really comments on my posts anyway so why should it matter? Anyway, read some of these letters and be entertained. If you enjoy that, I also recommend reading Letters From a Nut by Ted Nancy.

    Ah. Now I feel bad for you. Here is a comment for your post. I even read it!

    Oh, and in light of the nature of the offside as a whole: I am a Seattle fan and we will totally kick your behind!

    Feel better? :)

    Johonna,
    I would agree with you if the game was in Seattle, but it’s not. Dynamo will win by a narrow margin, like 5-0 or something.

    Johonna,
    The Sounders have had quite a wake up call since going on their road trip. Things wont be any easier in Houston.
