The last zebra will never be caught, but those hiking Mt. Si in the future will catch occasional glimpses of this legendary creature. It will end up breeding with local deer, causing a proliferation of striped animals known as deebra.
I never take my job with the Sounders for granted, so it’s always exciting and humbling to be asked back officially for another season! Bring on Year 14 behind the mic! 🎤 Let’s Go!

Congratulations to
@ECSTifo
for last night’s display. Simply stunning. I can’t imagine the hours and hours of work that went into the design, the drawing, the painting, the set-up, etc. it probably seems like a thankless task at times, but know you are all appreciated.💚🩵💙💛
Since the Zebra escaped, Stefan Frei’s red card was rescinded and Sounders got their first away win of the season. Coincidence? I think not. Run Z, Run! Stay safe! We 💚 you 🦓
Influencers getting free stuff is the rich getting richer. One year, I’d love to see a club give out 100 free jerseys to deserving fans instead. I bet that would go viral (more influence than any influencer) and would be a win win for club and fans. Just saying.
Andrew Thomas was the hero of the hour, scoring the winning penalty kick after the game remained tied 2-2 following extra time. 😮💨 (I hate penalty kicks, but at least Sounders won this year!)
This is not some hand-drawn & painted tifo, it’s a banner that someone ordered and paid for online. No effort was made to create it and it was taken down at halftime after Seattle was winning 3-0.
1/10 for effort, creativity, dedication to cause. 0/10 for correct messaging.
Last night was my 300th game announcing for the
@SoundersFC
. Amongst the many highlights are victories in the US Open Cup (2011), the Supporters’ Shield (2014), MLS Cup (2019), and the CONCACAF Champions League (2022), and possibly the greatest moment of all - announcing Nouhou’s
You can only post positive Sounders takes. I’ll go first:
- There’s still 90 points on the table
- There’s no Pro-Rel in MLS
- We got a run-of-play goal from our new striker
- Our injured players will not be injured one day
- Ruidiaz has a 100% cheeky panenka record

Timbers fans will often poke fun at Sounders because of the “Dempsey torn notebook” incident, thinking it’s somehow an embarrassment to the Sounders. In reality, it was one of the most memorable, legendary moments in Sounders history. No team will ever have a better story. 🤷🏻♂️🤣

Seeing some mixed reactions to the new kit. When will people learn that I’m always right? I love the new look and you should too. No other opinions are allowed. 😉🤣
A friend sent me this as a reminder of when Reed Baker-Whiting subbed in to make his debut but it appears the only headshot of him was from when he was about 12. 🤣
We can debate bad VAR calls and the lack of consistency all day long, but at the end of the day, we need to score more goals so these poor decisions are not the reason we lose.
Raul Ruidiaz made MLS Team of the Week, won Player of the Week/Matchday and won Goal of the Week. But according to some Eeyore-types, we should have got rid of him last year. He's still got it, folks.
I recently had treatment for facial pre-cancers prescribed by my dermatologist. It was painful - my face turned red & skin literally burned/peeled off. I had to slather my face in Aquaphor to salve the pain & help heal. But the result is almost miraculous - no more pre-cancers!
Some of you may find this comparison of our old rave green jersey and the new/updated rave green helpful. Many of the promo photos gave either a washed out or minty green look to the striped jersey, but the new green is definitely more vivid & brighter.

I honestly don’t know if I’ll get a chance to announce any of these games (I guess it depends if I’m still around and if FIFA works with host stadium folks), but this would be a treat and the icing on the cake of a fun PA Announcing career. My birthday is also 6/16, so HB 2 Me!
Longacres is a sign that Sounders are all grown up and can run with the big boys. And by big boys, I mean top teams in other major leagues around the world. It’s a state-of-the-art facility that the club deserves and will continue to help future recruitment of top players

Despite being the most common wildcat in North America, bobcats are elusive and rarely seen across their range. They are excellent climbers and will climb trees to rest, chase prey or to escape from predators.

@SoundersFC
rebrand up close. MLS teams haven’t been so successful with rebrands recently, but I’m digging this new look Seattle’s got. Agree?

Seattle are not playing Portland Timbers in the US Open Cup!*
*In a break from tradition, Portland’s first team are not competing and their MLS NextPro team got knocked out by a Mexican restaurant from California.
I am going to say something that shouldn't be controversial but will probably annoy a few people who follow me. If you can watch this video and you still subscribe to the view that ACAB, please unfollow me. I mean that, most sincerely. ACAB is an awful stereotype.
On Sunday April 7th, Kitsap Sheriff's Deputy Josh Buonvino was off duty when he spotted an Amber Alert for a missing child.
This body camera video below shows how the off-duty Deputy Buonvino took the initiative to search for the suspect, safely recovering the child.
My heart was pounding doing the pre-game Ozzie tribute and I was relieved when it was over. 😮💨 I just kept thinking: “Don’t screw this up!”. I always want to do a good job, but the pressure was esp. high b/c of his legendary status. I hope he felt the love from me and the fans.
If they’re putting DE LA VEGA on his jersey, my guess is I’d introduce him as PEDRO. That said, nothing’s been officially announced about the call and response. Looking forward to saying his name, though!
I saw a lot of FIGHT in the Sounders today, esp. the 2nd half. We didn’t get any points, but I don’t think this is a team who have “given up” in any sense.
OHHHHHHHHHH
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to see Seattle win away! HEY!
