A little sunshine to warm up this frigid day.

This should not be minimized.

Au Revoir, Bon Chance

What can men do in the face of such reckless ̶h̶a̶t̶e̶ snow?

Which one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse does this IU win represent?

Go Hoosiers I guess.

Some good coffee from Roosevelt Coffeehouse, a fire in the fireplace, Neal Morse on the turntable, and a good book. Elite Sunday morning vibes.

Anytime the favorite son of Strongsville is on the air is a good time.

A big happy birthday to my youngest brother, Jake. Known locally as the original J6 Patriot, among other things.

John Harbaugh would be a fool to do it unless he’s petty. Come to Cleveland. Do it.

Big day for coaches recently employed by HSG.

Nancy sacked. Feel bad for the guy. Grass isn’t always greener.

I really wanted Stefanski to succeed. Sigh the desert wandering continues.

Making some stock from leftover rotisserie chicken bones and my 18 yo daughter derisively called me a trad wife. I am ruined.

So glad that Cincinnati got to be part of history today.

One more abysmal Browns game before we blow it all up again.

Slowly curating a collection of Christmas records since delving into vinyl a few years ago. I try to add a few each year. Here are the new entries for 2025: Pretty Paper-Willie Nelson (h/t to @hangthadj.bsky.social ) The Andy Williams Christmas Album Elvis’ Christmas Album A Motown Christmas

So it appears that former Crew homegrown Aboubacar Keita currently plays for Kalmar in Sweden. Kalmar being the club Henrik Rydstrom played over 500 games for and later coached. There’s always a connection in the Crewniverse.

Cue @agsattack.bsky.social

Happy New Year friends. Ohio State was fortunate to give itself up (like a sacrificial pop-tart) so Columbus sports karma is primed to back the Crew in 2026. Don’t ask me this works, it just does.

Boy it’s telling that the game Day is back to calling the offense we lay down a total offensive dud.

And 5/6 won trophies of some significance including Greg Andrulis who won the USOC (02) and Supporters Shield (04). Only Gregg Berhalter came away without hardware but came very close to two MLS Cup appearances.

Party at IKEA. Meatballs for all.

I’m just glad we didn’t bring in an MLS re-tread or the next hot assistant coach ready for a HC shot. It could fail or it could be amazing. It could fail amazingly. I’m just glad they went for it.

Going be incredible or incredibly bad and I’m here for it #crew96

Rydstrom will be bringing two assistants with him, Theodore Olson and Mac Pakhei. He will retain the only 2 assistants left in CBus, GK coach Phil Boerger and video coach Marc O'Neill. Once signatures are on contracts, official announcement of Rydstrom hire will follow. #Crew96 #VamosColumbus

But did Keith beat Big Soccer? …also yes.

Re: New #Crew96 coach. An announcement is coming tomorrow. That is what I discern. I believe in discernment, although I have a history of a lacking in it. Such is my hedge. Have a nice day.

Taking in some of Ohio’s natural beauty.

A favorite of my roommates most of whom were writers.

It is time.

Left: a young boy about to witness Kei vs Pipa in the great implosion of 2017. Right: the same lad, somehow larger and yet still that same kid in the previous image.

Massive Day in Stankonia.

I…I did in fact download to my iPod classic.

A Crew-centric post (hey - they need a coach!) will be available a the website and delivered to inboxes of paid subscribers of thedisrespected.com early Wednesday a.m. #Crew96 #CBJ Have a nice day. www.thedisrespected.com/p/8e33855f-0...

Opinion | Trump’s crude remarks about Rob Reiner are unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner.

Me when I’m told Muppet Christmas Carol trivia is happening at a party this weekend.

Revenge of Corey Wray

Of course the Stank Prince and Lady Stank had to travel home from AZ today. The number of people who think a pickup truck can ignore the weather is pretty high.

Michigan 🤝 Cheating

Why can’t Ohio State just do the thing?

Maybe if Messi wins MLS Cup he can go away and Miami can shut down and leave us in peace.

Soccer Saturday in the Capital City. The lad heads to AZ next week.

It’s the annual viewing of the 80s classic remake of Babes in Toyland featuring Drew Barrymore and a young Keanu Reeves. The full “directors cut” can be found on You Tube.
