As always on this day I start out thinking about the twin towers. I believe that no matter one’s politics, this date will always be a dark one in the United States.

Hernandez told season ticket holders last Wednesday that he was signing with the team, so it’s unclear what the hold up was on the deal. Perhaps FCD was trying to land someone else at the last minute (pure speculation… Heath Pearce).

FCD travels west to face The Bruce’s high flying Hollywood FC featuring Sir Landycakes of the Throat Slash, but does anyone still care about that moment? Or about FCD at all for that matter?
