Chicago sure are getting a lot of praise for paying full free agency freight for someone who will be 33 at the start of the season, has missed nearly 50 games through injury in the last 4 years, and just had his worst season at Minnesota by underlyings
Where are we at as a community on Robin Lod? Is he great, meh, good, oft injured, a super sub? I just want to make sure I'm properly aligned with the cool kids.

I don’t want to be hyperbolic but Delap genuinely would not stand out in MLS. There are guys in the superdraft with better movement than him. Name brand and a hot finishing season, that’s it.

If he scores a long shot today I will burn the city down
Excited for another round of “Is Morgan Roger’s finishing 5 times as efficiently as Lione Messi going to continue indefinitely?” today.

Feels like a reasonable buy low to see how he looks for a real team

Reno was supposed to have a fat snowstorm today, I had a flight booked for LA so I could fly out on vacation on a separate flight. Was nervous it would get cancelled, so moved my flight last minute to last night and got a hotel in LA.
Snowstorm didn't come. Universe not rewarding my anxiety.
