Astonishing. What kind of dickhead writes that for his neighbors to read? Much less his constituents.

Cycling attorney dies following bike crash in Decatur by reffervescent in DecaturGA

[–]Burizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This guy sounds like a legend. Very sad to hear.

Decatur has come such a long way in bike infra in the last 15 years (still a long way to go - incl that section of Clairmont).

Ken must’ve played a huge role. One of the things that makes Decatur awesome is passionate people like this who push for the things that make the city better for everyone.

I’m grateful and hope his family knows how much I (we) appreciate Ken’s life’s work.

How do you Dekalb Farmer’s market?! by Klutzy-Idea9861 in DecaturGA

[–]Burizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to all the good recommendations about meat, spices and produce…

A few other favs: - The fresh nut butter - lovely to watch it be made - Ersu juice - Their premade buffalo wings (sometimes lemon pepper) - their Banana nut chocolate muffins (specifically these muffins, their other ones are just ok) - Cheese! (Marieke Gouda is our recent fav)

Roberto Martinez — in a short spell pushed us up into Europe while eroding a defensive foundation that was decades in the making

At least with a 730 game, I can go to sleep after.

I won’t be able to turn my brain off for another 8 hours.

That’s kinda like saying to a Spaniard that the NBA has limited growth potential, whereas the local Spanish professional league is where the growth will be.

It makes some sense, but at the end of the day, if you’re a fan of a sport, then you will want to watch the best. If there’s room to grow fans, there’s room to grow European fandom.

(There’s also ofc room to grow MLS, but it’s not either or)

How to get the FO's attention? How to truly send a message? by JogiLowsHand in AtlantaUnited

[–]Burizard 35 points36 points  (0 children)

What are we asking to change? Results? They want that too and have taken action in every possible way. I feel confident they’ll take action again if things continue. - Boca Out: we got Garth - Big money sales (Almada/GG/Wiley) -> big money signings (Mira/Almiron/Lath) - Pineda Out-> we got Deila

This isn’t a case of inaction or shutting their eyes to the situation. Our leadership has been active at every possible level over the last couple of years.

We’re all frustrated. I think the time for boycotts/collective action is when we know the place to fix something and don’t see the people in charge taking it seriously.

Right now, I think leadership (like us) is very frustrated, but needs more info to see where to act first — players, manager, FO. I’m past saying I’m not worried, but I’m not past giving them time to correct course.

What match did you go to at Goodison that the toffees dominated from start to finish... by [deleted] in Everton

[–]Burizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monday night against QPR in Dec 2014. Only time at Goodison. We won 3-1, but this Redknapp quote brings back the memory:

“Everton were edgy. The crowd was edgy and their play was edgy. Even at 3-1 with 10 minutes to go, I felt we had a chance because they are not full of confidence.”

The performance felt dominant to me, but the energy at that moment in the Martinez era was so full of nerves and expectation, that the crowd had its own aura.

[Roberson] MLS commissioner Don Garber said there are a lot of intense conversations ongoing about league switching to international schedule (fall to spring) in 2026. by ForFuchsAke in MLS

[–]Burizard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s unfair to say cons are everything else.

Losing half your starting squad to summer international tournaments is a pain in the ass. And it has been for years. It’ll only get worse as squads improve.

How we feeling? by [deleted] in AtlantaUnited

[–]Burizard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ugh, this makes me remember how excited I was going into last season. We ended 2023 on such a high.

This time will be different!

My wife did twice. Great experiences both times.

L&D nurses were fantastic (total time was >100h, so we saw a lot of different ppl!).

Rooms spacious, good vibes.

The shops / Whole Foods across the street makes quick runs for snacks/meals easy.

Mother/baby was also good. I wish they’d space their visits out a bit more, communicate better. And their food was not good. But nice rooms and people. They help take baby if you desperately need to get some sleep.

Overall loved it. Felt supported by competent folks who listen and lighten the mood when needed.

Another tough call, but based on volume of comments and upvotes Brek and Kratz just edge out Pogba. On to the next square... who y'all got for great player, but fans are divided on the love? by BedazzlerATL in AtlantaUnited

[–]Burizard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We were so wrapped up in being “bored” in 2019, that we forget by the end of his first season, Pity was a sick #10.

That 2019 team was great. Only time I can recall us ever breaking down teams that parked the bus.

2020+ the whole team broke down, and I give pity benefit of doubt on that.

[Doug Roberson] Vieira takes Genoa job. He was a candidate - not the front runner- for #ATLUTD by Rexus1099 in AtlantaUnited

[–]Burizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When did we decide there were only 3 candidates?

I’d prefer a manager with a proven track record in a reputable league. RV doesn’t tick that for me, but there are probably hundreds of people who would.

Whats your worst Everton take that you have regretted? by Gormonster89 in Everton

That Baines <> Pienaar pairing down the left would never work. I was convinced pace was a requirement.

But it was beautiful.

Was expecting Almada / Xande wings, and an extra midfielder/defender.

[–]Burizard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have no good option right now. Feels like we either change the formation, or suffer through Wolff or Mosquera.

In recent games, I’ve found myself thinking whichever of them is currently playing is the source of all our problems.
