High praise from a dude with a lot of really great tattoos.

The Stag is done. My artist was Bianca Wood at Handsome Devil Ink in Renton. So happy with how it turned out.

Back on my Clarity bullshit this morning. “Just Watch The Fireworks” hits so good.

If KEXP DJs have taught me anything in the 20+ years I’ve been listening, it’s that there’s no such thing as a non-KEXP song.

Yep. Think I have one of those in the queue. HIPAA Security Rule and Anti-Harassment.

It’s the one pickle where I will straight up sip the brine from the container.

Honestly, it doesn’t really bother me. Just comical that looking sharp is a signifier of your sexuality to these knuckle-draggers.

I’ve been called gay slurs in public as a cisgender hetero dude several times literally because I was dressed well (sportcoat, nice hat, brogues). One of the times, I was pushing a stroller with my kid in it. Fellas, is it gay to *checks notes* wear menswear and father a child?

Late to the punch here, as I was watching UW shit the bed, but is TNT trolling with this zoomed-out FIFA camera angle?

Jordan weights the ball so well there that the defender has no choice but to try and cut it out dangerously and Cristian never gives up on the run. You absolutely make your own luck.

Tonight, we’re at North43Bistro. Last night was Via Vecchia. Night before that Scales. Night before that Mr. Tuna.

Fancy dinner in the other, better Portland.

In the other Portland. The Maine one.

They sneak some inventory in there for the parents of the current youths.

I love the Heroes cover shot outtakes. Couldn’t believe I found it at Hot Topic.

Related: Where else outside of Mexico can you get a Torta and a Tamarindo in an airport on a Sunday? Chicago rules.

He’s the best Max TAM player in the league and I’ve always said that.

Michael Wiegand @mwiegand.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Very good half for the boys. Albert, Jordan, Cristian playing like leaders. Lots of dimension from Clark. Been impressed by Stu Hawkins too. Tidy passing, a couple timely interventions.

000

Michael Wiegand @mwiegand.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

He seems a little more willing to drift into the middle of the field horizontally, which gives us lots more looks when Albert moves into the channels to compensate.

1st & Goal controls everything about gameday operations at Lumen. Renton or not, we need decision-making independence from the Seahawks.

110

Michael Wiegand @mwiegand.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

As long as we’re sharing Lumen with an NFL franchise, we will be pretending a giant Seahawks-themed Airbnb is our home when it’s demonstrably not.

010

Michael Wiegand @mwiegand.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Literally the first shot of the TV broadcast tonight: Jordan Morris, the all-time leading scorer of our club, walking down a hallway at Lumen with exclusively Seahawks regalia on the walls.

120

Michael Wiegand @mwiegand.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It’s also a point that completely ignores the reality that we’ll never be in control of the things fans consistently complain about at Lumen.

110

Michael Wiegand @mwiegand.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

This is an interesting thought. I wonder what the economics of the Sounders being the primary tenant on the lease would look like without the Seahawks, if it’s even possible. The overhead of running the place without First & Goal would undoubtedly look very different.

210

Michael Wiegand @mwiegand.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

If the economy continues the way it’s going, the Port might need to sell off land it’s not using at a sweetheart price. Will that happen before the Lumen lease is up, nope.

010

Michael Wiegand @mwiegand.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Did you drive or take transit to Tukwila for USOC games? If you love the Sounders and you’ve ever sang “We will follow you wherever you may go…” in the section, seems disingenuous to say you (or anybody else) wouldn’t go to Renton for a match.

200

Michael Wiegand @mwiegand.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Is the right move to renew lease and continue to fight a long, losing battle for things we’ve been asking for since 2009? Where else can or should we go to get treatment befitting the most successful sports club in the city?

100

Michael Wiegand @mwiegand.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Loads of what fans and players hate about the matchday experience, from concessions and ticket prices, to even the playing surface being dog shit most of the time, all stem from the fact that the Sounders have little to no pull in their home stadium. Hanauer is right that it’s untenable.

120

Michael Wiegand @mwiegand.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Love or hate Hanauer, love or hate the Renton Stadium idea, we are absolutely second-class citizens at Lumen in every imaginable way. Is that fair for arguably the most successful men’s sports team in Seattle history?
