Record Breaking Football Manager Save Tainted By Accusations Of Save Scumming

INTERNET - Jason Williams’ record breaking Football Manager save was, reportedly, tainted by accusations of save scumming by online Football Manager forum moderator, beta tester, and all-around Football Manager expert “AnalJesus4U”.

In a forum post titled, “The TRUTH,” AnalJesus4U laid out the circumstances surrounding the almost impossible situation that Williams claimed was performed without any kind of modifications stating, “There is no way this was accomplished without the help of save scumming and playing on the Sunday League Manager setting.”

Save Scumming is a term that indicates the situation of reloading the last saved game whenever the player character dies or an unfavorable outcome has been encountered.

Sources say that AnalJesus4U spent a significant portion of last weekend between 2 to 4 am debunking the save status of Williams as he detailed his findings online.

“We can see CONCLUSIVELY that the odds given to accomplishing a perfect season with no goal given up in the Premier League with the team that he had is virtually zero,” stated AnalJesus4U. “As such, the only conclusion is that of Save Scumming.”

For his part, Williams rebuffed the accusations as he accused AnalJesus4U of being, “so shit,” and stated, “Get good, bro.”

TFC Megaphone Releases Statement Claiming, "I Was Just Doing My Job"

TORONTO - The megaphone thrown at Mark-Anthony Kaye released a statement, today, claiming, “I was just doing my job,” as it attempted to fend off a stadium ban for entering the field of play.

Sources for the megaphone claimed that the device was profoundly sorry for being yeeted at the TFC player in a childish tantrum that will inevitably result in a ban for the supporter involved.

“I’ve never seen them so down,” stated friend and bullhorn Pyle. “It wasn’t their fault that they were thrown at the player. They were just doing their job.”

The megaphone was reportedly horrified to find itself flying end over end as it tried to apologize to Kaye only to find out that it had no voice.

Frank Klopas Takes Over Chicago Fire For The... Oh... Honestly... Who Gives A Shit Anymore

CHICAGO - Sources say that writers started multiple blog entries with the intent to detail Frank Klopas taking over the team again for the third time only to be stopped because they just realized they didn’t care about writing the same article again.

“Honestly, who gives a shit anymore,” stated one blogger who still covers the team. “It’s like I’m perpetually in the twilight zone where every choice is made over and over and over again and nothing ever changes.”

Sources indicate that the situation with the Fire would anger the last remaining supporters if they hadn’t spent the last game mainlining Malort and checking on the status of their Football Manager save.

“The only way this is funny is if they, now, hire Frank Yallop before letting him go and having Brian Bliss take over again,” stated one anonymous fan. “Then we can start the cycle all over again.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Klopas takes over the team in 2025 for the fourth time.

Worst Person You Know Now Subscribed To Twitter Blue

INTERNET - Sources say that the worst person you know online is now subscribed to Twitter Blue as soccer posts were inundated by the prioritization of the least intelligent discourse online.

“Oh… @USMNTfever is subscribed to twitter Blue? Yeah, not surprised,” stated one person online. “The moderately racist rants and overt Elon Musk fanboy posts really illustrate why they would shell out the money. It’s absolutely insane they have 15,000 followers online although if you look at their list of followers it is a lot of @usernamebunchofnumbers.”

Sources say that nearly every soccer post that includes some kind of mention of politics, policy, or even basic human functions now includes prioritized idiots arguing at the top of every feed.

“It’s great,” stated one veteran Twitter user. “Now I know who to block.”

SKC Superfan Placed In Protective Custody For His Own Safety

KANSAS CITY - Authorities in Kansas City announced today that Sporting Kansas City (SKC) superfan Kevin "KEVIÑCHO" Lopez has been placed in protective custody this weekend, "in order to provide for his own safety."

Viewers of Lopez's popular YouTube channel, on which he provides live commentary during SKC games, apparently contacted authorities after Lopez's 10-minute meltdown during SKC's 1-0 loss to the Colorado Rapids on April 2nd. In the YouTube video, Lopez was seen to curse the SKC team, SKC coaching staff, and SKC management in both English and Spanish during an extended rant.

Authorities have not disclosed Lopez's location but did issue a press release stating based upon the Colorada and San Jose game that they remanded Lopez to an unknown location. They stated that Lopez was resting comfortably and was being provided with a, "soothing environment," which included piped-in sounds of wind chimes and a babbling brook as well as videos of puppies and kittens.

Lopez will apparently be barred from watching any football content for the immediate future, although the press release did indicate that after an appropriate calming period Lopez would be eased back into watching football starting with career highlight reels of Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi followed by games of the 2000 Supporter's Shield and MLS Cup winning season of the Kansas City Wizards. In the latter case, authorities indicated that Lopez will be told that the videos are of current SKC games, and that the team fired head coach Peter Vermes and adopted a throw back game kit for the remainder of the season.

Lopez could not be reached for comment, although videos have emerged of Kansas City authorities removing him from his home during which he can be heard to shout "¡Abandonad la esperanza, todos los que entráis CMP!"

MLS Concerned That Punishing Vanzeir Will Alienate Racist Fans

NEW YORK - Major League Soccer (MLS) insiders stated that the league was concerned that punishing Dante Vanzeir additionally for admitted racist language would alienate racists, as they push to create a big tent for everyone to enjoy soccer.

“We aren’t a political sport,” stated one league insider. “And if racists want to come enjoy soccer we don’t want to make them feel bad for their racist outbursts. Punishing Vanzeir additionally for what happened wouldn’t do anything for our brand other than making it appear that we don’t accept racism, and we need all the fans we can get.”

It was announced today that Vanzeir would receive a six game suspension for his admitted racist outburst categorizing racist language behind PEDs in terms of severity.

“Look you can demean races all you want on the field, that’s a six game suspension,” stated one insider. “But we believe that everyone agrees that drugs are going to get you 10 games just like we did with Roman Torres.”

Sources say that while fans were disappointed with the six game suspension that they needed to look at it from every angle.

“What does it say to the racist soccer fans out there if we give him a larger suspension,” stated one league insider. “What we are saying, if we did that, is that this league doesn’t want racists as fans. Six games hits the sweet spot where we can say we did something but it isn’t enough to attract the attention of Fox News.”

LOS ANGELES - Galaxy president Chris Klein released a statement to the Los Angeles Galaxy fans promising to restore the team to their rightful position in 9th place as soon as his suspension for defrauding Major League Soccer (MLS) roster rules is lifted and the million dollar fine that was levied against the team was paid.

“Ninth place or BUST,” stated Klein as he tried to get the Galaxy fans back onto his side by promising the glory of a 1 and out away playoff game. “We CAN be the 9th best team in the west again!”

Sources indicate that Klein is desperate to continue his legacy of mishandling the Galaxy as he attempts to continue the standard he set of finding a way to make even the most passionate fans not want to cheer on their own team.

“I know things aren’t good now,” stated Klein. “However, things can be marginally better as the season goes along. All we need is to win 3 out of 10 games and we will likely be right back in the race for 9th.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Klein finally is able to perform his duties again after the MLS suspension is lifted and immediately tries to sign Pavon to another Non-dp-dp-non-dp under the table deal.

"What Has Someone Else Done To Cause This," States Baffled And Distraught Merritt Paulson

Portland, OR - After news of Eryk Williamson’s season ending injury reached the general public, a baffled and distraught Merritt Paulson stated, “What has someone else done to cause this,” as he bemoaned the constantly injured Timbers lineup.

“It’s almost as though we are under some kind of hex or curse,” stated Paulson to The Nutmeg News. “Almost as though the actions of one person have doomed this organization to suffer some kind of horrible fate that repeats itself over and over again.”

Sources within the Timbers front office indicate that Paulson launched an investigation into who could’ve caused such a horrible curse to descend upon the team.

“We have been told to investigate not only the front office but also the fans to see if they may have caused this somehow,” stated one anonymous Timbers employee. “We are putting together a panel to determine whether the Timbers Army caused this hex by hoisting the Ouija board T.I.F.O.”

For his part, Paulson remained steadfast in his belief that this was out of his control as he stated, “we are all working on trying to find out who caused this issue.”

MLS To Bill Every Season Ticket Holder $1,000.00 In Order To Pay For Lionel Messi Contract

NEW YORK - Taking advantage of the latest news that Lionel Messi is dissatisfied with his situation at Paris St. Germain (PSG) and wants a new contract and a new team, Major League Soccer (MLS) Commissioner Don Garber put together an innovative proposal to land Messi in MLS - requiring all MLS season ticket holders to pay an additional fee, to be used to pay for Messi's contract. Under Garber's proposal, each season ticket seat will be charged an additional, annual, $1,000.00 league development surcharge with the money from that fee being used to fund an MLS contract for Messi.

Although MLS does not release statistics of the total number of season ticket holders for all 29 MLS franchises, it is believed that there are approximately 300,000 season ticket holders across the league with a league average of 10,000 season tickets per team. Charging each season ticket holder seat an annual $1,000.00 fee would yield a healthy additional $300 million per year.

Published estimates of Messi's current contract with PSG puts the player in the $75 million per year range - if his signing bonus, annual salary, and image/kit sales licensing rights are combined. If the extra fee proposal is approved by the MLS Board, Garber would be able to offer the 35-year-old Messi a multi-year MLS contract in the $300 million per year range, eclipsing the current highest sports contract - Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr contract estimated at $225 million per year.

Although details of Garber's proposal are still being worked out and would require a likely perfunctory MLS Board approval vote, concerns have been raised about how the fee would be administered. When reached for comment, an MLS insider - speaking on condition of anonymity - told The Nutmeg News that the proposal would asses the fee per seat, not per ticket holder, so a family of four with four season ticket seats would be assessed $4,000.00 per year by the league. Additionally, there will be no scaling of the fee based on the cost of the season ticket itself. Upper deck seats and pitch side seats would pay the same fee. And perhaps most controversially, season ticket holders from teams in conferences that might see Messi's team once every two years would still be charged the fee annually even in years when Messi never plays in their team's stadium. Apparently Commissioner Garber will justify these rules by arguing that signing Messi with any MLS team, "elevates the entire league at a global level, and thus the rising tide of MLS lifts all season ticket holders' boats."

Another aspect of the plan that might surprise MLS ticket holders in the near future is that SeatGeek - the official ticket partner of MLS through which all season tickets are distributed - will be assessing a $200.00 "service fee" on the $1,000.00 per seat league development surcharge. When asked for comment, the same MLS insider responded, "Hey, it's the contract we signed with them; nothing we can do about that."

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Major League Soccer insider Twitter accounts claim, "you'd have to pay more than $1000 to see Lionel Messi play a game, at this point, between all the flights, hotels and ticket prices in France so this is really a discount."

BBC Hires Alexi Lalas To Provide "Balance" In Match Of The Day Hosting Crew

LONDON - In the aftermath of the refusal to appear on air by members of its Premier League “Match of the Day” (MOTD) hosting crew, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) made a surprise move to hire an additional commentator to provide “balance” - former Fox Sports soccer commentator Alexi Lalas.

The change arose after long-time MOTD commentator - and 1986 FIFA World Cup Golden Boot winner Gary Lineker made Twitter commentary criticizing the current UK government’s refugee asylum policy. The BBC, in response, required Lineker to “step back” from his MOTD duties, citing the “controversy” around Lineker’s comments. This led to the entire hosting crew of MOTD- including Premier League all-time goal leader Alan Shearer indicating they also would step back from their MOTD duties, in solidarity with Lineker. As a result, during the weekend of 11/12 March, the BBC’s Premier League programming consisted only of match highlights, played without commentary.

The BBC was left in the unenviable position of having to potentially continue MOTD as a host-less program, until Richard Sharp - Chairman of the BBC received a fortuitous phone call from a fellow media executive. “{Fox Broadcasting Founder} Rupert Murdoch called me up the day after the Lineker controversy started,” said Sharp. “His first words to me were, ‘have I got the man for you!”

Lalas - a former US International who had an unsuccessful trial with Arsenal’s reserve squad will join the recently reinstated Lineker, Shearer, and the remainder of the MOTD hosting panel, to provide what Sharp characterized as “balance.”

“Alexi is the perfect person to add to Match of the Day,” stated Sharp. “We prepared for him a briefing book outlining the social and political positions he would be expressing, and he immediately committed to adhering to them. He will, however, continue to have free reign to antagonize viewers with his footballing opinions, just as he has in the US for the past fifteen years.”

Lalas welcomed the opportunity to reach a new audience, and said he was studying up in preparation for starting commenting duties in the week of 18/19 March.

“I have little experience with the Premier League, but soccer is soccer so i feel confident I will be able to have an opinion for any match that the BBC airs,” said Lalas

Questioned whether he was familiar enough with Britain and British culture to effectively engage with the BBC’s audience, Lalas also expressed confidence. “[UK Member of parliament] Jacob Rees-Mogg was kind enough to send me a copy of the collected speeches of Sir Oswald Mosley and Enoch Powell, which I have been studying intently. I feel now I am fully prepared to understand and relate to the audience that the BBC wishes to attract.”

Major League Soccer Announces 2024 Stadium Self Care Partnership With Satan's Inflamed Anus

NEW YORK - Major League Soccer (MLS) today announced a 2024 Stadium Self Care sponsorship with Satan’s Inflamed Anus, in order to deflect from their recent partnership with Ticketmaster, the actual spawn of the devil.

“Satan’s Inflamed Anus should really pull the focus from our partnership with Ticketmaster and allow people who are sitting in our stadiums to take care of their body for the rigors of sitting for 90 minutes,” stated Mark Abbot, president of Major League Soccer.

Sources indicate that MLS executives are excited for fans to try out Satan’s Inflamed Anus in conjunction with Ticketmaster as they look forward to the 2024 season with glee.

“Much like Ticketmaster, Satan’s Inflamed Anus has a 432% markup,” stated one insider. “And we feel that our fans will feel the relaxing heat of Satan’s Inflamed Anus when they sit down in the stadium with a $17 beer and a $24 plate of nachos to enjoy a $230 sideline ticket to watch $43 referees avoid calling a penalty against their $2 team.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the Ticketmaster resale sight promises direct fan to fan taxes and fees.

USMNT Fan Concerned That Team Isn't Going To Qualify For 2026 World Cup

Omaha, NE - Stating, “The US Soccer Federation is SABOTAGING the competitive future this team,” on his personal substack, USMNT fan Jason Brewster exclaimed that he was highly concerned that the team wasn’t going to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

“What have they done,” stated Brewster before responding to his own question with a passionate, all-caps missive that read,”NOTHING.”

“These jokers are going to take so long to hire a competent head coach and bring in new players that we are going to miss a golden opportunity to qualify.”

According to column #432 sent to only his Patreon subscribers, Brewster stated that the US Soccer Federation (USSF) could, “look into Basketball and football players who have the height and the athletic ability to really make a difference that the small Spanish and Argentinian teams can’t combat.”

When questioned about this by his friend Ezra Williams, Brewster stated that he was just, “thinking out loud about how great the American athlete is and he wasn’t being serious,” despite finishing column #432 by stating, “I’m deadly serious about this working.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Brewster claims that what he meant was, ”IF we had to qualify, not that we weren’t going to qualify.”

With 2023 Season Over, Rapids Blogger Begins Look Towards 2024

Denver, CO - Bemoaning the 4-0 loss to the Seattle Sounders that signified the end of the, “rebuilding year,” of 2023, Rapids Blogger Abraham Weston sat down at his computer and began his exhaustive look towards 2024.

“I think that we have some possible pieces that can really compete for a playoff spot,” wrote Weston on his substack. “And if you eliminate the feeling of loss from the 2023 season, you can see some bright spots.”

Sources say that Weston was far more positive about the 2023 season than some Rapids fans who took to Twitter and LinkedIN to complain about the lack of investment in the squad. However, Weston tried to take the long term perspective.

“I believe that eventually there will be enough random chance that we will somehow put together a blue-collar team that will lunch pail ourselves to the Western Conference semi-final before we ultimately fail to progress due to not having a singular player that can take over a game. I can’t wait.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as other Rapids fans call Weston a paid shill.

Major League Soccer To Require All Teams Play in Indoor Stadiums Starting in 2024

NEW YORK – Stung by the rescheduling or postponement of inaugural weekend games in Portland and Los Angeles due to weather conditions, Major League Soccer (MLS) announced today that starting with the 2024 season, all MLS teams will be required to play home games in an indoor stadium.

Portland fan on their way to the home opener.,

“With the MLS season increasingly entering into poor-weather winter months due to league expansion, in-season cup competitions, and more playoff games, there is a need to ensure we have compatible playing conditions for games,” said Mark Abbott, President and Deputy Commissioner of Major League Soccer. “MLS believes the only viable solution is for teams to play indoors,” he continued.

At present, only two of 29 MLS teams – Atlanta and Vancouver – play in stadiums which can be made indoor with a retractable roof. Another 10 teams – Dallas, Houston, LAFC, LA Galaxy, Saint Louis, Minneapolis, Montreal, Toronto, Seattle and Miami – play in cities with an existing stadium – currently hosting American or Canadian football or baseball – that is either fully indoor or converts to indoor with a retractable roof. This will leave 17 current MLS teams having to scramble to convert their current stadium to allow for indoor play, or find an alternative indoor venue in a different city until that can be done.

As yet, most MLS teams have not announced how they intend to comply with this edict. Inquiries into the front offices by the Nutmeg News yielded only two responses. Portland Timbers, currently playing in a stadium owned by the city of Portland, are lobbying Portland mayor Ted Wheeler for city funds to purchase a 150,000 square foot tarpaulin to be secured to the roof of that stadium. NYCFC will temporarily relocate to Tropicana Field, an indoor baseball stadium and the current home of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Despondent Philadelphia Union Fan Demands To Be Part Of Citywide Depression As Philadelphia Mourns Second Straight Championship Loss

Philadelphia, PA- Philadelphia Union fan Sam Hays demanded to be included in the citywide depression after the Eagles lost Super Bowl LVII to the football team from Kansas City extending the Philadelphia citywide curse to two straight major sports championship losses.

“Goddammit, I HURT TOO,” stated Hays to depressed friend and Eagles fan James Thurston.

Sources say that Hays felt distinctly left out as the city bemoaned the loss of two straight championships.

“WE LOST AS WELL, GODDAMMIT WE LOST AS WELL,” stated Hays. “I was THERE man. I had my heart ripped out. WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE TO DO TO COUNT.”

Sources indicate that local sports mourned the loss of the Phillies and the Eagles while a mention of the Union happened on the Philadelphia Inquirer, largely due to employing people who care.

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Hays spends most of Monday dovetailing the loss to his experience in 2022.

AppleTV Video Package For Inter Miami Prominently Features Carlos Valderrama Highlights

FORT LAUDERDALE – Inter Miami CF today released its promotional video package as part of MLS’s league-wide promotion of the exclusive broadcasting partnership with AppleTV. Many viewers were surprised to find that the package seem to primarily feature highlights of the play of Carlos Valderrama.

Valderrama, a Colombian international and MLS All-Time Best XI, has not played professional soccer for a Miami team since 1999, during a two-year run for the now-defunct Miami Fusion of the early MLS. Now, 61, Valderrama played 24 games and scored 3 goals for the Fusion between 1997 and 1999.

Asked for comment, Inter Miami’s press liaison stated “Inter Miami wanted to remind MLS fans of the long history of exciting football played in Fort Lauderdale.” Inter Miami had no comment on the lack of more recent highlights. In its three-year MLS history, the team has made the playoffs only once and have yet to score a playoff goal.

Eagle-eyed viewers also noted that the only highlight that appeared to show a goal scored by an Inter Miami player was instead a clip of Lionel Messi in a pink Barcelona kit, with the Inter Miami crest crudely inserted using what appeared to be 1990s computer-generated imaging technology.

Chicago Fire Apple Music Playlist Just 4 Hours Of Man Screaming

INTERNET - With the release of official Apple Music playlists for most Major League Soccer (MLS) teams, fans were quick to note that the Chicago Fire playlist is just 4 hours of a man screaming.

Artists Depiction

"We have playlists across MLS that reflect the culture and personality of the team they are made for,” stated Fire music curator Josiah Williams. “What better way for new fans to get the feeling of the Fire than a 4 hour track of someone screaming in an empty room?"

Sources state that the Fire created a playlist roundtable of unpaid volunteers to suggest tracks to the Fire music selection committee. Some of the reported options given to the team were empty dissonance, the sound of one hand clapping and a 26 hour cut of the Apocalypse Now clip of, “the horror, the horror,” played in Dolby Surround.

Fire GameDay staff say they're excited for new fans to connect the dots to come to a game by revealing it will be played before, during, and after Fire games in the future.

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as excited fans can’t tell where their screaming begins and the playlist ends.

Groundhog Predicts Two More Weeks Without An NWSL Schedule

Punxsutawney, PA - Punxsutawney Phil, the prognosticator of prognosticators, was removed from his temporary residence and reported that he saw his shadow which means two more weeks without a National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) schedule.

WHERE IS IT!

Sources say that irate NWSL fans took to Twitter to voice their concerns over the schedule at Senior Writer with The Athletic Meg Linehan regarding the situation as some blamed her for the groundhogs prediction.

“I just want to know where the schedule is,” stated one anonymous NWSL fan. “I know that Meg knows that the groundhog knows that it isn’t going to be two more weeks, but I’d just like to know where it is.”

Sources indicate that Phil was in communication with the NWSL as they asked for more time.

“We can neither confirm nor deny that Phil was involved in the schedule makers,” stated one of Phils handlers. “However, we strongly rebuke any kind of indication that there was something inappropriate going on with the release of the schedule. Everything is above board and Phil sees his shadow or does not purely based upon his shadow and the weather.”
