NWSL – 2014 Draft Review – Washington Spirit – Capital Club Gets Their Woman Before Falling Into Old Habits
by All White Kit
posted January 21, 2014 at 10:08pm

The 2013 Spirit’s incompetence led to something of a mixed bag last Friday. On the one hand, it allowed them to walk away with the #1 pick in the draft, which they used to take Crystal Dunn, to the surprise of absolutely nobody. Dunn’s going...more

NWSL – 2014 Draft Review – Seattle Reign – Defensive Reinforcement At Last
by All White Kit
posted January 21, 2014 at 10:04pm

The running joke about the Seattle Reign this offseason has generally centered on boss Laura Harvey’s transformation into wheeler-dealer, remaking a roster which proved deficient for most of last season. While the turnover for the roster has been b...more

I’m not crazy. (Well, keep reading, I might be a little) I don’t listen to all of my sudden urges though. Imagine if I did? I would be out for 1 am runs quite often. And probably have a white board in my car with things written on them for c...more

NWSL – 2014 Draft Review – Houston Dash – More Attacking Options For League Newcomers
by All White Kit
posted January 20, 2014 at 10:52pm

It wasn’t quite nabbing two of the top four players in this draft class, but the Dash might still be doing backflips after grabbing two of the top eight despite that second pick coming in the second round. There’s a certain terror that has to...more

NWSL – 2014 Draft Review – Chicago Red Stars – A Steady Course
by All White Kit
posted January 20, 2014 at 10:45pm

It’s hard to screw up in a draft in which you’ve got two of the first four picks, and Chicago didn’t rock the boat early in that regard. A midfield with Lori Chalupny, Leslie Osborne, and now Julie Johnston and Vanessa DiBernardo looks ...more

(Bad) Day After (Bad) Day via @TiffanyWeimer

posted January 12, 2014 at 9:47pm

It’s come to my attention (mostly through social media) and the occasional human interaction, that many people succumb to having more bad days than good days. It is to my belief that regardless of what happens throughout a day, if a bad thing occur...more

“Why did you do an intro post for a blog you’ve had for a while now?” Because I do what I want. “No for real, why?” Truthfully, I do better under pressure. By saying I was going to do something, I kind of, have to do it. Aw...more

I’m sure this is the longest I’ve ever gone without blogging. I’m sure there’s a good reason for that somewhere in my personal journals. But generally speaking, the reason for my return stems from my need to share. Because I have a...more
