Hello, all!
Clint Dempsey is on television now and wore ... this last night.
You see what Clint Dempsey is wearing today for this USMNT-Mexico game?! The man brought hunting and fishing to work as a condition for leaving the woods. I'm in awe of his dedication and appreciate him more every day. pic.twitter.com/0UrscTFmrG

Ramble of the Day
Yesterday, Leyton Orient announced that the team’s goalkeeping coach Dean Brill will now work for Tottenham and with the U18 and U23 teams. A few in the Cartilage Free Captain writers’ room clicked so the rest of us didn’t have to, and shared almost nothing about the appointment. Instead, a screenshot from the bottom of the page made it into the group chat.

The leading theory is that this is a pie and mash and mint sauce (again, something I took from the writers’ room and did not put in the work to find out for myself). That sounds like a fine thing to eat and it’s entirely possible the food pictured tastes fine. That, though, is the definition of a plate of food that looks unappetizing. I cannot believe Leyton Orient did not have a better photo of food served at their stadium.
I have stifled a laugh multiple times looking at this picture. The plating is remarkable! The sauce is everywhere but doesn’t look like it’s accompanying that pie nicely. My favorite thing, though, is the utensil just stabbed in the pie like it’s a flag. That image does not predict kind survey results, but the survey prompted me to quickly look at the Breyer Group Stadium’s menu. It looks pretty standard for a stadium, though it does not build my personal opinion of British Event Catering.
tl;dr: Leyton Orient picked one hell of a picture to accompany its stadium food survey.
