Posted Friday November 20, 2009, About: Olsen mulling retirement
Unfortunately, this happens consistently in all sports, we just aren't deep enough in the national talent pool to not notice the failures. Not many of the Miracle On Ice Olympic team went on to stellar careers, that was their shining beacon. Since they are under-17, maybe they've peaked in their skills overall, which put them a step ahead of other 17 year olds... but other 17 year olds may still have had that room left to grow. That and again, we need managers here. While it isn't as attractive a prospect, there should be an academy for young minds to go to learn the tactics of the game at the managerial level, and a coaching level. Coaching staffs aren't the size of football staffs where a kid can catch on while they're still in college and end up being Jon Gruden or Josh McDaniels....

you might end up getting that before too long. I don't expect any coaching changes at all for the Nats tho. Not unless they bomb out of the actual World Cup

While I was hoping for DC... and lots of you were hoping for Chicago... at least he went to a team that deserves success. Could you imagine the nightmare of if he ended up in Kansas City or something?
Posted Thursday November 19, 2009, About: Dynamo's Holden has interest from EPL, SPL
Please don't go to the SPL... it's like... the dying ground for promising US talents. There's just no competition there week to week. Literally. Opposing teams would see the same results against Rangers and Celtic if they didn't field any players at all...
Posted Wednesday November 18, 2009, About: Montreal MLS expansion 'promising'
Heh... the only people I remember from that show are Adam Sandler, Colin Quinn and Denis Leary. That show did kick some some serious ace tho.
Posted Monday November 16, 2009, About: Dodo still interested in MLS?
And I think it required a full moon for the Red Bulls too... not sure, I'll have to check the lunar calendar.
Posted Monday November 16, 2009, About: Dodo still interested in MLS?
Oh man... there's not even a comparison. Real Salt Lake actually deserved to be in the playoffs instead of throwing it in reverse and backing in after about 7 conditions were met by other teams losing and what not.
Posted Monday November 16, 2009, About: Dodo still interested in MLS?
I'll go with LA.... just cuz.
Posted Monday November 16, 2009, About: Dodo still interested in MLS?
I thought the Dodo was extinct? I think the league can honestly do much better than this...
Posted Monday November 16, 2009, About: Titans owner gives Bills middle fingers
2 middle fingers can never erase the greatest comeback in sports history. Sorry bout your Oilers, Bud... you lost a 32 point lead at the hands of a career backup QB in essentially what was the 4th quarter and some loose change.
Posted Saturday November 14, 2009, About: Philadelphia Union unveils uniforms
That's dark blue? Looks black.... I hope there's some more definition to that blue when it isn't on a newpaper website ;-)
Posted Thursday November 12, 2009, About: Real Salt Lake being sold
I wanna take a ride down just to take in the new digs they have... looks nice.

As far as underachieving... they bankrolled the stadium, maybe now that that is (nearly) done, they'll be able to refocus spending on the team to the personnel.
Posted Thursday November 12, 2009, About: Real Salt Lake being sold
So.... the EPL again denied Celtic and Rangers bids to join the Premier League... I wonder if they don't just bite the bullet and join the Championship if they really want in that much. What'll that cost them, one sole year in a lower division, with the trade off being getting to where they want to be?
Posted Thursday November 12, 2009, About: Real Salt Lake being sold
....the FCC needs to approve the sale of a sports team to a real estate developer? Do both of these entities run their own radio and tv stations too or something? Me = confused.
Posted Thursday November 12, 2009, About: Chicago interested in Preki?
awesome... the MLS season isn't even over and we're starting to use recycled stories already. I find it hard to believe Man City isn't on the verge of transferring for some absurd player that will never play there, like Pele, or something...
Posted Tuesday November 10, 2009, About: Crew to dump star winger Rogers?
I hope they don't announce a 17th without an 18th... I hate this misaligned nonsense. They should probably stop there if they really are seeking to create an MLS.2 type of league...
Posted Tuesday November 10, 2009, About: Crew to dump star winger Rogers?
Don't feel too bad, they busted my chops too when I asked about it a few months ago ;-) It has a lot to do with how the new owners (NuRock??) took away Carolina's franchise rights, is likely doing it with Atlanta's... and more may be on the chopping block. I guess for FIFA recognition, there needs to be "team ownership" of the league on some level, and this company is virtually taking apart the entire TOA of the USL... it originally started as a NASL revival rumor, stealing away New York USL and Tampa Bay - complete with NASL rules (35-yard offside line, shootouts, stuff that likely would never happen)... but that died quickly enough.
Posted Tuesday November 10, 2009, About: Philly Union to hire lead assistant
Yeah... I know... can't even get a good leak on it... nothin. It's the internet age, it's crazy that someone, somewhere, hasn't leaked it ;-)
Posted Tuesday November 10, 2009, About: Philly Union to hire lead assistant
Hahaha... nice Throwdown here... http://tinyurl.com/yktfmja

The dude is gettin smoked. ;-)
Posted Tuesday November 10, 2009, About: Philly Union to hire lead assistant
Sounds good... now please show me your jerseys... even though I'm sure the debut will be at the draft.

So... why did Preki go after Dema last night?
