Welcome to the rare afternoon Freedom Kicks. Why afternoon? Well your old pal Jason had a disaster of a night of sleep, and then had a couple of things to take care of, and suddenly it’s 2:30 and I’m just starting. Feel free to use this as a quasi-Saturday Freedom Kicks as well.
But unfortunately we have to start with some news that is, quite simply, awful.
You’ve probably already heard about this today: Daryl Grove, one half of the Total Soccer Show, passed away yesterday. It’s entirely too soon, and I hope you take a moment to hear Taylor Rockwell’s words on Daryl (that’s what’s in the tweet above).
