I did some museuming this weekend with my father-in-law in town, and there are some really cool exhibits at SAM right now. I really enjoyed the monochromatic exhibit, in particular

Two all-black pieces of art displayed together, on a mobile of geometric shapes suspended from the ceiling above a piece on the floor composed of tar paper made to look like a topographic map that appears to show varying shapes and patterns depending on how the light interacts with it.

per the league, teams retain player rights for drafted players until December 31 of the following year if they aren’t signed by the league.

SuperDraft Priority List
Unless claimed on Waivers, a player who was drafted by a particular club through the MLS SuperDraft and did not sign with the League is placed on that club's "SuperDraft Priority List" until December 31 of the year after the draft (i.e., for 2026 MLS SuperDraft, until December 31, 2027), after which the club loses the priority rights to sign the player.

this was my take on Dale ahead of the draft www.sounderatheart.com/2025/12/rost...

Another UW midfielder that may be of interest is Joe Dale. Dale’s a redshirt junior who’s been deployed in a number of positions, but primarily in midfield. He's a Seattle kid who played academy ball with Seattle United and has spent 4 seasons with Ballard FC. He was named to the Big Ten All-Tournament Team this year and pitched in 2 goals and 5 assists in 24 starts. He’s got a good motor, covers ground well and gets into and wins a lot of duels, but his ability to help control games with possession is lacking. If he’s available when the Sounders are up he wouldn’t be a bad pick, but may not be worth moving up to get him.

One of my rec league teammates is leading a study with the VA, and they’re looking for vets who play soccer in and around Seattle. If that’s you or someone you know, please consider reaching out to him or sharing this flyer/information!

Seeking Volunteers for a VA Research Study
We are doing a study to help us understand how foot movements change on different artificial turf surfaces.
Sports fields commonly use artificial turf surfaces which can have different levels of traction. Traction can impact a user's performance and injury risk. By studying foot movements on these surfaces, we may learn more about how to reduce risk of foot and ankle injuries when using artificial turf surfaces.
This study involves:
• Running and turning tests.
• A CT scan and X-ray images of your lower legs and feet.
We are looking for volunteers who are male or female, age 18-60, play soccer or have played soccer, wear men's size
10-16 shoes or equivalent (other sizes may be purchased if necessary), and receive their medical care at the VA.
To learn more about the study and be screened for eligibility contact us at 206-764-2991.
You will be paid for your time.
