Based on the commentary I’ve been seeing, I think people might be surprised to learn the Sounders out shot San Diego 6–1 from the 61st minute until 90+4. They also had about half the possession during that time and had more penalty-box entries. The idea that they parked the bus simply isn’t true.

Well, that comes with the territory of playing the kids. Sometimes they have to learn it the hard way. Fine by me.

Outside the racism, and let's not deny the racism here, one of the reasons white Christian males ask these kinds of questions is because they can't fathom that someone wouldn't put their religion first when it comes to holding a political office.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Look, somebody in this picture obviously thinks I am. But I think the context helps a little :)

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

I tried to fly a Pride flag at the courthouse; they denied us, and it became a whole thing. People asked why it mattered so much to me. It wasn't for me, a straight guy, or the vast majority of the county. If one kid feeling alone saw it, that was enough.

Ownership says the stadium situation is untenable. The ownership situation actually feels like the lever that needs to be changed. If they can't get a deal done with better terms in Lumen, and their fallback is a small stadium in Renton, they absolutely need to sell the team.

The Seattle area just showed we are a top market for soccer in the country at the World Cup. The low-spending Sounders, in a league of Messi and Son, are still top 3 in league streaming viewership and attendance. The owner’s biggest idea is moving to a 25k seat stadium in a Renton business park.

I truly have to apologize to Jordan, he really is back on that upwards trend I doubted he could find and he is worth his money again on top of being a true Sounder.

Schmetzer on Morris: ‘Jordan has done a lot for the sounders. What we liked about tactics today, he’s almost a second forward. That first goal was tremendous.’

Take the f*cking money a 25k stadium would cost to build and SOLVE these problems instead. There is no way the stadium is cheaper than heavily going after solutions for these pathetic problems. Of course, that is if you are truly invested in solving these problems not just using them as an excuse!

“We don’t have permanent locker rooms. That is not acceptable. There are not the revenue opportunities for these teams. You might know there are soccer teams here but barely. That’s not good enough. Scheduling not a high priority.”

I truly cannot believe that after this summer, with Seattle putting on a show in the world cup and packing the streets with their passion for soccer, that they want to move to a 25k seat SSS in Renton. Insane.

O M G Can we go a single week without this theme please!?

Schmetzer on Morris: “He’s getting his right knee checked out. A little bit of a ding. Won’t have better information until we’re back in Seattle.”

Well, one more week down with this prediction intact. #believe

8 game losing streak followed by an 8 game tying streak followed by an 8 game winning streak. Hang in there, Sounders fans

I am a sucker for some good data analysis. And the below is excellent. Not just because it really matches how I feel about this current situation. Because feelings make much worse facts than data :)

The Sounders’ injury crisis has become so absurd that @adamlrace.bsky.social felt compelled to create a new statistic to illustrate it. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/09/we-c...
