No Dice: Fire's Postseason Drought More Than Bad Luck
With the Fire’s 2-0 loss to Charlotte last Saturday, the Fire are back in a familiar place: on the outside looking in at MLS Cup playoff spots. If the Fire do not secure a postseason position on Decision Day, the team’s playoff drought will stretch to six

Jiggly's Mailbag Part One
Oh hi! I’m Jiggly. And it’s a Tuesday. So, this week I definitely wanted to take the week off. My body was absolutely destroyed after the game Saturday night, where I learned that maybe I should start doing forearm workouts so I can keep going on drums longer.
Where’s The Revolution?
Oh hi! I’m Jiggly. And it’s a Tuesday. So, this is a bit awkward. I don’t really have a column this week. Not that I don’t have any ideas for what to write, it’s more that I’ve got a couple of solid ones that

But No One Cares
Oh hi! I’m Jiggly. And it’s a Tuesday. Man, there really wasn’t any soccer this week. Sure, there’s international soccer, but who actually cares about that? I’ve always been club over country to the point where I generally don’t pay attention to international soccer.
Play The Kids
Oh hi! I’m Jiggly. And it’s a Tuesday. Say what you will about the results, but the last two games have been fun from an off-the-pitch perspective. On Wednesday, I finally got certified for Safe Smoke, making me qualified to pop off smoke in the supporters’
Crown of Madness
Oh hi! I’m Jiggly. And it’s a Tuesday. This past matchday, I proved that I am very emotionally stable and can be trusted to be on social media during a Fire game. I’m sure everyone in the fan discord can agree, having seen my game-time meal
Find Your Identity
Oh hi! I’m Jiggly. And it’s a Tuesday. Recovering from a game on Sunday is much more difficult than a game on Saturday. Not because I have a job and have to go to work on Monday, but because I’m writing this while very tired and not

I'm Still Here
Oh hi! I’m Jiggly. And it’s a Tuesday. As always, I actually write my column the day/night before. That’s how I try to make sure my column is as topical as possible for the day it comes out. The thing is, the Chicago Fire didn’t
The Saddest Slice of Pizza in All of Chicago
Oh hi! I’m Jiggly. And it’s a Tuesday. Well, it was honestly closer than I thought it would be and I’m a bit more disappointed than I probably thought I’d be, but the Fire are out of the Leagues Cup. So I guess I can go
Break Glass in Case of Emergency
Oh hi! I’m Jiggly. And it’s a Tuesday. I’m writing this literally right after I’ve gotten home after the shootout loss to Puebla. Despite having had enough of my fill to drink and a preference to just sit around and watch the Harley Quinn animated show
