Are the Kings really a "soup sandwich"?

[CruzDude]

Gotta love some interviewers. One SLAM interviewer talking to TRob down in Houston had this dialog:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SLAM: Do you feel like you got a fair shake in Sacramento?
TR: I felt like I didn’t get a fair chance to show what I got put in this League for and I really don’t know why but I do know that I got a chance here.
SLAM: From the outside looking in, the Kings look like a soup sandwich. Is that really the case?
TR: I won’t say all that. Every team, got they problems. That’s about as far as I can go with that [laughs].

A soup sandwich? Now that brings to mind a mushy mess. But ...........? Hmmmm.....

Never heard the term before. According to Urban Dictionary its an army grunt thing:

A phrase used extensively in the U.S. military to describe a person or a situation that is in complete disarray.

So no more colorful really than saying we're a mess, which oh, just about every single other journalist in the world has already said first.

I find them to be a little sogy. Especially the tomato soup sandwiches!

I think soup is used in place of another word that starts with S.
Shark sandwich.

I find myself unsurprised.

I've actually got lots of military in my family. My dad (air force), granddad (army), 3 cousins (1 mechanic, 1 tank driver, 1 ranger). Just my own fundamental inability to take orders from, well, pretty much anybody, meant it wasn't for me. Or at least I've always assumed C.O.s take dripping disdain and open rebellion more poorly than all that.

IIRC, you're only a couple of years older than me, so you probably would have had a bigger problem with bulkhead training.
