Maradawga: September 2005
http://maradawga.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
American soccer served extra crispy with a side of slaw. Tuesday, September 27, 2005. Wherein I play the role of Scaryice. I got to thinking and one of the things that frustrates me most about the current MLS setup isn't the lack of focus or intensity in regular season games, it's the number of the times the same teams face each other. Now, nothing really alleviates that other than more teams. With that in mind, I'm planning for 2007 already. Posted by maradawga at 10:22 AM. Monday, September 26, 2005.

The Fool's Prerogative: November 2005
http://philosophysoccer.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak. Friday, November 18, 2005. Tell me again how a sheep's Blatter can be used in the prevention of earthquakes. Some of you have been kind enough to express concerns over my absence. I appreciate it greatly, especially as this blog hasn’t been going for very long. Rest assured that when things calm down a bit I will begin updating again more regularly. Problem is that this is likely to occur in January. The game is getting duller becaus...

The Fool's Prerogative: May 2006

It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak. Thursday, May 11, 2006. Soccer- the Thinking man's game. Man, I thought I was busy before, but in the last several weeks, I’ve been working overtime and pulling out my hair dealing with a cranky server. So apologies for the further lack of posts I’m a lazy bastard. There’s a profound difference in this country with the level of players’ intelligence. How many players in England, Scotland, Italy or Spain are likely to spend time t...

The Fool's Prerogative: April 2006
http://philosophysoccer.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak. Monday, April 10, 2006. Of you are reveling in the first two weeks of the MLS season, we Thunder fans are still waiting. We don’t have our season opener until April 23rd. At least it’s at home, but after that it’s another month before we can see our boys live again. But it’s ok. The season is near and there’s still plenty of soccer to be seen from the ESPN coverage of MLS to the FSC coverage of the EPL, Bundesliga, and Serie A. Last ...

The Fool's Prerogative: March 2006
http://philosophysoccer.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak. Tuesday, March 28, 2006. What makes you keep going to games when your team keeps getting blasted? RSL and Chivas (to a lesser extent) drew fine crowds last year despite being DREADFUL. We the fans continue to support our teams when they lose. Why? Loyalty is a large part of it, to be sure but what else causes us to be so masochistic? I’m going to think about this one for a while and get back to you because for me especially it’s a qu...

The Fool's Prerogative: February 2006
http://philosophysoccer.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak. Thursday, February 23, 2006. On old tapes, old games and older players. So recently I bought a DVD component recorder. I have some old tapes that I have been wanting to put into a digital format so that I can save some storage space. (Okay, so I justified buying the thing by saying that I would use it for old family videos but the soccer games come first.). So why record them at all? Ask me who my favorite US national team players ar...

The Fool's Prerogative: October 2005
http://philosophysoccer.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak. Tuesday, October 25, 2005. Every hour wounds. The last one kills. So, it’s been quite a while since my last entry. As I stated, things at work have basically exploded and unfortunately my personal life is a big mess also, meaning that when I usually update (from work) and my backup (from home) have both been pretty well cut off. The big and exciting news is that the. On Nov. 12. I have been pulling further and further from. I watched...

It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak. Tuesday, September 27, 2005. Last night, I got a call from Real Salt Lake. No, they're not planning on signing me as the solution to their goalscoring woes (Melvin Tarley's confidence must be lower than Paris Hilton's standards right now.). After I organized the BlueSkySoccer.com 2nd Annual Minnesota Thunder Fans Awards Banquet. And the fan interaction is what makes these events work. While it might seem counterintuitive to make them...

The Fool's Prerogative: December 2005
http://philosophysoccer.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
It is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak. Monday, December 05, 2005. What makes the Beautiful Game? When I set out to write this blog, I decided that it would be pointless to simply write about my favorite sport or team, simply giving a rundown of the days (or more likely week’s) news. There are countless better sources for that information. Why run a blog that would only be a pale shadow of the impressive duNord? Yes, that’s a Christmas present hint) for inspiration. There ...
