Rob Stone – working blue

Thank you Rob Stone for reintroducing the word “gypped” to mainstream cable television. Who on earth says that anymore?

At least he wasn’t interviewing Alan Pardew:

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2009 NY Red Bulls defense!

Thoughts at halftime of the Seattle-NY opener:

  • So JC Osorio would do well to introduce his defenders to each other before sending them out there. They looked both slow and disorganized, and really have zero excuses for either goal. Montero’s finish was great, but how on earth does NY leave Seattle’s top scoring threat completely unmarked?
  • It’s a great atmosphere at Qwest Field, though I am still unsure about the marching band playing during the match. I’ll reserve judgment because at least it’s different, and that’s always a good thing.
  • Rob Stone… you’re not funny… still.
  • Full credit to Lalas for coming out and saying what Harkes would only tiptoe around… that New York was “atrocious.”

Don’t miss the nerd throwdown going on over at Archer’s place

The fur is flying over at Archer’s blog today. He got video of Vancouver’s fans looking, let’s just say “virginial,” on local television. Now, Archer’s reasoned response (“Who let these people on TV?”) has set off a nerd-fight of near-epic proportions between folks in the comments.

Just for clarification, a nerd-fight is similar to a cripple-fight except that the combatants are less coordinated.
