Nike LeBron 12 officially released
September 17, 2014Local radio, and Joe Banner love with Joe Lull – WFNY Podcast – 2014-09-17
September 17, 2014Spencer Lanning has had an interesting couple of weeks on the football field with the Cleveland Browns. He found himself kicked in the face against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then, he accidentally became a running back hurtling through the air and getting crushed by the New Orleans Saints’ defensive line on a botched extra point. Things are looking up for week three, as Lanning was an invited guest on the famous Men in Blazers podcast.
Here are a few things we learned about Spencer Lanning in the interview (about 44 minutes in.)
- Spencer Lanning pulls over and parks to talk on the phone
- Spencer Lanning drives a “gas-guzzling” Toyota Tundra
- Despite the end result of the punt, Lanning was happy with his kick
- Lanning was a “cocky, arrogant” striker who played a little bit outside the rules
- Lanning left the “brutal” sport of soccer to play football
- Spencer Lanning is a Chelsea fan
- Lanning talks about how high school soccer has worked against the progression of U.S. soccer
- Johnny Football is not “well-versed” in “real football” or soccer
- Josh Gordon is a really big soccer fan
It was an awesome appearance by Lanning on a very good podcast, so I recommend you go listen to the whole thing.

“Johnny Football is not “well-versed” in “real football” or soccer.” So many punchlines. Must refrain.
“Spencer Lanning is a Chelsea fan”
he was becoming such a great unknown player to love until that little tidbit was revealed. oh well.
Chelsea suck.
It’s not as bad as if he were a Spurs fan, but I agree, still an unfortunate piece of information.
What’s wrong with Spurs supporters? Huh? You got a problem with me? It sounds like you have a problem with me. What’s your problem?
ask Charles Barkley about swimsuits in San Antonio for your answer. Oh, we’re not talking basketball?
Nice.
As a fairly recent arrival to Premier League fandom (between the last 2 World Cups), I am truly curious as to the characteristics (perceived and actual) of the various fan bases. It’s just not something that I’ve been able to pick up from this side of the pond. As with most choices by Americans, my selection of the Tottenham Hotspur was fairly arbitrary, but I’ve been pretty faithful with it (but only because Portsmouth got relegated), if not well-educated. I would love to read an authoritative summary of the many fanbases (if such a thing is possible).
I work for an English company and they have helped me out on some of it. Here is what I know as they relate to USA teams (or what they have told me at least):
Man-U = Yankees. Old money team that tends to win a bunch though recently not quite as much.
Man-City = Red Sox. Big city, big money, but most of the success more recent.
Chelsea = Dodgers. New big money owner just throwing $$$ at the team to win.
Arsenal = Warriors. History of playing an entertaining style but not winning the big prize often. Or Tampa Rays as they develop a bunch of young talent but sell/trade them off before they can be dominant.
Liverpool = Browns. Historically, one of the best clubs with many titles. But, has not won an EPL title since the Premiership changed the name of the championship.
Newcastle = Raiders, Bills, Browns, or any other fanbase that is irrationally fanatic despite a team that seems to always disappoint.
Everton = Atlanta Hawks. Always a competitive team, never a real contender.
Tottenheim = Knicks. Based in a major city with some great fans and some terrible bandwagoning ones. Not run great but have had some good runs and classic kits/uniforms.
Good stuff. I find different summaries/assessments in different places. I think I ultimately just need to go live there for a year or two.
at least he isn’t an Aston Villa fan..
