2020 Romain Grosjean crash at Bahrain FI Gran Prix.

His car went through the barrier, split in two and became a fire ball.

Rumours have Lewandowksi leaving Barcelona and heading to MLS, potentially with the 'Caps.

:shock:

Muller AND Lewandowski? Can the dude still score? I don't keep up much with international footy.

I felt like we weren't very efficient in the team finishing department (Brian White exception) even though we generated a lot of chances with our high possession rate. I liked Ali on the left wing, but Sabbi and Jayden Nelson were just so infuriating. All speed, no finish. A couple of Moe Lemays.

With a healthy Gauld maybe taking over left wing, Cabrera playing more minutes and the money from the Nelson trade plus the Ahmed money for another big name, I'm hoping for a better team that can go all the way.

The window is now for this team. Otherwise, it might be a long re-tool coming.

37, not sure what he has left in him but it can bring some more fans to the game. It also may raise the league for player that are on the decline, also sometimes age can beat youth.

Thanks for this Donny.

I may be well enough to go to a couple games this year.

The answer appears to be yes.

Even at 37, the man is a poacher. Split the striker minutes with White… offence should be more lethal provided Gauld and Muller can play together and the winger play improves.

Of course, more defenders depth and less injuries too.

Hope something big like this happens.

7'5", 220lbs, (bit of a bean pole) 8' wingspan, 9' high shot release, +11 foot high release on a jumper

last night 29 min, 28 pts, 16 reb, 5 blks

Post Game he's asked by Shaq, "Can his body hold up to being double and triple teamed every game"

The Alien - "I'm running out of places to get scars, but my body, my joints and muscles are fine."

Defenses know the only way to slow him down is to beat on him as much as they can. He endures, then embarrasses them.

This Alien doesn't ride a scooter.
