Mama said there’d be days like this
I kind of knew that being so jonesed about the U.S.’ first qualifier would lead to something of a dry-heave of a game last night. This is CONCACAF, after all. Winning on the road is incredibly hard. It’s even harder when you’re taking a squad full of players that haven’t been on the road in CONCACAF...

As Russell Wilson enters his 10th year as starting quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks, he looks to bounce back from what some called a disappointing 2020-21 season.
