Everything Is Bad

Bridget Gordon, our editor in chief and my podcast co-host on The North Lot, likes to say “Everything is Bad,” about the 2019 season. She’s right, everything is bad. But not for the reasons you’d think.

Everything is not bad because of the front office is inept, or arrogant, or both. It’s not bad because of the Fire can’t score or can’t play defense properly. Everything is bad, but not because Veljko Paunovic can’t get his tactics or substitutions right. Everything is bad, but not because of where they play or what suburb their stadium is located.
