Nice to listen and comment live after a break of a few weeks. Our World Cup preliminary group is okay, but we're still gonna get our asses kicked.

@Caryn - the draw for the US was ridiculously weak.

Happily, I guess, the CONCACAF Gold Cup soccer is behind us. MLS all-star game is Wednesday. 2018 WC qualifying begins this November!

And to catch up on recent weeks: the new Partick Thistle FC mascot is dreadful. It's like a demonically-possessed Lisa Simpson from a "Treehouse of Horror" episode. Sheesh. www.telegraph.co.uk...

As a Yankee fan, I should not like Pedro, but I've been a fan since I heard him correct a reporter on the "less/fewer" distinction.

@Ralphine, that was a mid-sized media story way back when. The city spent years trying to build it and kept getting hung up by funds and red tape.

Trump came in and paid to finish it, generating good pub for himself.

Everything sounds like crackly ass after the dump button has been used.

It'll get better eventually, after the delay buffer has rebuilt.

@Danne: sheesh with the Pelicans mascots... Still, I miss the nice old Partick mascot, a smiley bee. This new one, ugh. But it does create plenty of meme humour and jokes about the scary sun mascot being created because the Scots have never seen the sun and the mascot is simply what they think it looks like based on ancient writings. Heh.

Mics have been hot for a lot of DJs on FMU lately, so it's probably an ongoing technical blotch.

The Partick Thistle FC mascot looks to me like a giant grain of thistle pollen. www.gettyimages.ae... Is that the effect they were looking for?
  6:23pm
Listener Robert:

I don't know whether it's an honor or a dishonor that the response I got out of Bronwyn required her to premeditatedly dump herself.

The reason there'd be no punting in Cage Match Football is that I want to simplify the rules by treating all kicks the same, but punting would be much too easy a way to produce the results of other kicks. I'd even consider banning kicks out of a player's hold, same reason.

Wow, Ireland may actually have a chance. Bit probably not.

Jeff:

So... the delay finished rebuilding a few minutes ago, and after that... y'all sounded fine again.

While delay is rebuilding, your show will sound like ass, with crackly distortion when you talk. That's just the magic of the station's delay box.

I hate it. I hope we can get a better one some day.

Finland's up against Turkey, Ukraine, Iceland and Croatia. We could beat every one of those teams, but will probably manage to lose consistently.

Caryn:

Some of the developments in the selection of Olympic sports makes me dizzy. Classics are cut, and then they bring in 15 different varieties of cycling and sailing or something. Do I really care who wins in Yingling, Keirin or Omnium? I barely care who wins in the Madison.

I tell a lie, I don't care about who wins in the Madison at all.
