Bruce! I miss your dulcet tones! I've never even heard of Christine Baskets. Given that you are the hippest OG I know, I'll have to look into it.
You know I'm gonna make fun of whatever Minnesota United will be called once they come into MLS for constantly changing the name of the club, right? God I can't wait to have MinnesOOOOtans for rivals! There'd be nothing to make your recent fans hate us more than if we sign Ibarra now as a Wallace replacement and Miguel plays for us against you in MLS. That storyline seems unlikely, but man it would be cool.
One final thing: Amanda's dad works for Medtronic, and I talked with him about the team coming to MLS and its previous troublesome ownership groups (shoutout to Big Bucks but only 1 Pair of Shoes guy) or lack thereof. His remarks about Dr Bill were less-than-glowing. That surprised me.
Anyway, I hope you are well!

I am very much looking forward to any ridicule my friends in football hurl at the team i dig so much. I love it.
Many people are not fans of Dr Bill. And if you can find me a rich dude with a clean slate I won't believe it. You may not agree with the way he ran United Health Care but didnt commit any crimes and he has not wronged anyone, so I can stand behind him.
