The calming presence of any player over 30 (“Greg Vanney!”)

So here we go, on our way to play Toronto FC. Hey, I know it will be early for you West Coast folks, but maybe we can play a drinking game.

When I first saw this photo I couldn’t stop laughing. Maybe it’s my particularly strange funny bone. Maybe it’s a more universal funny. So take a stab at it and caption this photo.
