The Sounders are the team that allowed me to first blend my journalism background and my natural inclination to behave like a fan. I don't always manage to walk that fine line perfectly, but I promise to make an honest effort. The views expressed here are of someone who is not trying to hide their rooting interest, but at the same time give you an honest assessment of what he is seeing. Hopefully, you appreciate those efforts and trust my opinion. In addition to my contributions here, I am also the manager for SB Nation's MLS blogs, the Sounders beat writer at MLSsoccer.com and the co-host of Nos Audietis.
