Come one, come all, it's your weekly Tuesday Freedom Kicks and if you're like me, you're still waking up. Because you watched a game last night that didn't kick off until 11:00 P.M. ELEVEN. IN THE NIGHTTIME.

Let's just do the links.

Nice read on that Revs team. With our Black-and-Red out of it, I'm content to throw my maybe-cursed weight behind this MLS 1.0 relic (my friend, a big RSL fan for whom I briefly supported RSL on Sunday, told me that 4% of her thinks I jinxed her team, to which I said that at least my team won, heyo).
