The Carson Daily, Oct 1st

It's gameday ladies and gentlemen. And welcome to fall! It's crisper, the scarves actually serve a warming purpose now, you can get pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin beer. Let's be honest, summer is the best season, cause it's all warm, fall is second, cause it's got the best holidays, Spring is nice but uninspired, and Winter is just terrible.

Who cares though, it's gameday! Don your gay apparel, and let's see what the broadsheets are saying about the LA Galaxy today:
