MLS 2018 Week 5 Continuous PBP [Multiple R]

You don't want the league to be seen as a joke by playing on April 1.

Though, the noon start for the Honda Superclasico is rough.

Those doofuses think they battle those kids on the internet streets. The kids were born into it. They win without sinking into the sewers.

 

Sunday is Easter. Can imagine teams prefer to schedule around that.

 

So you are saying that it is perfect weather for Atlanta, as shown by last years game in Minnesota, right?

 

If you missed last week's matches...

 

Nope. No snow this time.

Thx,

Jay!

 

I can't even...

******** it all.

So...who will be the first to find an egg on the field tonight?

 

Great tackle by Silva ...

 

TOR vs RSL on the TV.
HOU vs Utah Royals on the computer...
how am I supposed to keep up with chat here on BS???

 

More than one computer/tablet.

 

It is hard enough to combat kids on the interwebs. To try to do so and call them out while some classmates are still recovering from wounds is horrendous. I think these kids know they have the floor to speak. Can't shout them down on their turf.

 

Penal

 

I primarily use a cheap tablet at this point. They're more than capable for most browsing and I'm a fan of windows full of tabs.

lil Nicky doing grown ass Nicky things

 

what call is that?

ball don't lie

 

Ball don't lie.

 

zero zero and zero zero in my world.

 

Rimando is amazing ... at least on penalties.

 

No one knows what a handball is anymore.

 

I get the discussion about the handball, but that is called nearly every time if the ref sees it.

Hell, a 2nd pk now.
