So I'm guessing you've all seen the numbers. We have 32,000 season ticket holders. And we could have more, but we capped it.

Much love to my doppelganger SF for the link to FS. Our initials reversed couldn't mean anything, could it? I didn't finally cave and link to myself, did I? Nah. Anyway, if you've never been here before you'll see that this blog is pretty different from TOR, so you may be down with things over here, you may not.

Major League Soccer and its players are near agreement on a five-year contract that would avoid a strike scheduled for next week, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.

I'm a strong proponent of any football + (insert sport here) fusion, but I never thought I would see Nike Snowboarding's crew playing 5-a-side in a Austria.
