  • Dan Lauletta needs to pack it up

    Less than a month after the Chicago Stars announced they were building a training facility in the Chicago area these absolute clowns are uploading an episode lamenting how the Stars never invest and how far behind the rest of the league they are without once mentioning the training facility. Just an absolute waste of everyone’s time - just self proclaimed experts who don’t bother to read the league news.

  • Dan Lauletta needs to pack it up

    Bro is so out of his element talking about modern sports - if they had any editorial oversight, he would never have made it past week 1 as an on mic talent. incapable of analyzing games, hes a vibes only commenter akin to your parents on Facebook but masquerading as an astute soccer mind.
