My first full season covering the Seattle Sounders coincided with a number of “firsts” for the club itself: first Rookie of the Year, first “mutual parting of ways” with a coach, and most importantly, first MLS Cup. It’s been an interesting year, one that was full of ups and downs for both the team and for myself. In 2016, I published 275 articles (including this one). Some were good, some were bad, some caused people to say mean things to and about me. But I learned a lot working for this site in 2016, and I hope to learn even more in 2017.
