Random Notes from a Crank

Eating establishments putting up campaign signs for candidates makes it easy to not frequent them. 

For example, a couple of eating establishments in our town have signs up for Mary Miller for our representative in the House. Based on her TV commercials that are all over the local channels, she appears to be bat-shit crazy. 

During the commercials she talks about the spectre of "Godless socialism," how she supports Moscow Don "draining the swamp," and how she's a "Christian." 

The somewhat humorous aspect of the ads is that she has this weird Marge-Simpson-like voice that's a bit disconcerting. 

As I've written about somewhat, I've been watching Premier League soccer this year because I enjoy it. I watched an MLS game today, and it's clear MLS is the AA or AAA of soccer leagues in terms of quality. 

Regardless, I hope the St. Louis soccer club is a strong one. 

Watching the XFL has been interesting. I think the NFL should adopt how they do kickoffs because the way they do it is much safer. 

The three different levels of point/s after touchdown are interesting. 

Let's go Battle Hawks. 

Random Notes from a Crank

The Premier League season got off to a start a couple of weeks ago. I've been watching Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves matches. 

St. Louis finally got awarded a MLS franchise, which is a big deal. After the Rams left, I thought that city would have gotten MLS franchise more quickly. 

Like this columnist for the Post-Dispatch, I'm wondering what the team will be called: "MLS Is Coming, but What Will the St. Louis Team Be Called?" 

I just hope they don't go with the copycat names like FC St. Louis and St. Louis United. 

Here's are monikers I'd consider, some of which come from the video:

• St. Louis Rivermen
• St. Louis Trailblazers
• St. Louis Spirit

If they're smart, the GM will recruit well known Bosnian futbol players because St. Louis has such a large Bosnian immigrant population.
