LOL, I just read this hilarious article: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/soccer/s-bondy-nycfc-wait-frank-lampard-old-joke-article-1.2304928
If you stopped paying attention to Frank Lampard not playing soccer in New York anymore — and we can understand if you’ve moved on to something more rewarding — here’s a quick recap: There have been two introductory press conferences, an abundance of jerseys sold plugging Etihad Airways, a handful of appearances in Yankee Stadium’s luxury suites, one in the broadcast booth, 22 games played in Europe and. … zero minutes in MLS. [...]
Two days prior to Lampard’s latest absence from NYCFC’s roster — an exciting 5-3 victory Sunday over Orlando FC — was the one-year anniversary of Lampard’s “official signing.” Never mind that, unbeknownst to the reader of the 2014 press release, Lampard was officially signed somewhere else.
[...]
In the interim, while Lampard’s debut was pushed back further (and further and further), a space probe was attached to a comet, losing and regaining its solar power as it sped closer to the sun. There was a breakout and containment of the Ebola virus. The world’s oldest man died at 116. David Letterman went off the air after 33 years. The U.S. lifted its 50-year trade embargo with Cuba. The Confederate flag was removed from the South Carolina state house. Gays across the country were granted the legal right to marry. Dan Snyder still refused to change the name of his football team. The NFL launched an investigation into Tom Brady’s balls. The Knicks lost 65 games. Sepp Blatter was re-elected, declared himself “the President of everybody,” and then resigned. Bill Cosby and Hulk Hogan were not, as we discovered, wholesome idols of the 1980s.
