lol, yeah. he has some issues for sure, but all the couch potatoes on this forum need to stuff it. And even more does Bob K.

. . . xenophobic.

that was a freebie. over and out.
Posted Monday October 19, 2009, About: Davies improving, leaves ICU
you may well be right, but then again, until details are released, we really don't have a clue--not just how/why it happened, but why he was out that late. It's best to suspend any judgment until facts are out.

lol, why's that?
Posted Monday August 31, 2009, About: Cosmos to return as MLS team?
i sure don't get the traveling Wilburys idea for the Cosmos. Get real.

On further reflection, I could seem them reviving the name for some fun globe trotting. Maybe they expect that to reinvigorate the Cosmos brand. But you could not transition an all star team into an MLS team. But I suppose you could trade notoriety and front office presence and a rejuvenated "fan" base into a 2nd NY team.

D-Wreck's point about TV rights is worthy of consideration. I would like to see their business model of paying over-aged, high-priced stars and use that to transition into a bonafide MLS club.

totally off topic, but just because I can (with repercussions expected .. . ):

I just love it when "story highlights" is about the same length as the story itself:

Maybe Abromovich would buy them and rename them the Kosmos. Not.

ok. that was bad.
Posted Thursday August 20, 2009, About: Altidore detained in swine-flu scare
AGAIN: Jozy was NOT detained this long due to the swine flu. NOT NOT NOT NOT!

It was passport stuff.

:)

newsflash: Brown was incorrect. Jozy's delay had to do with passport issues. See SBI for update (to contra the earlier Brown story)

you have no vision . . .
Posted Sunday August 16, 2009, About: Did Beckham deserve MLS red card?
maybe y'all are right, it was a red . . . but DANG, i just bought tickets to the Wednesday game, traveliing 5 hours to see Donovan, Blanco, and ahem, not Beckham, now.
Posted Thursday August 13, 2009, About: Beckham likely to make Premier League return
and your comment is just another excuse to show El Pibe de Oro with HIS off . . . :)
Posted Sunday August 09, 2009, About: Beckham blasts England critics
on this, I agree with him. some people need to get a life.
Posted Sunday August 09, 2009, About: Beckham 'definitely interested' in owning MLS team
Dangit, I'll have to read teh book then. Sigh.

I still reserve total judgment (or try to, lol, sometimes i just let er rip) until I hear/see both sides of something. I do remember a bit about the unceremonial dumping of Alexi, etc. Even if it is that bad, people make mistakes. From what I hear of the AEG organization, as far as business empires go, they are pretty good. Good people at the top. And so, I might say, maybe there is more to Leiweke than an episode like that.
Posted Sunday August 09, 2009, About: Beckham 'definitely interested' in owning MLS team
Mun-DOS a CERO!
Posted Saturday August 08, 2009, About: Beckham 'definitely interested' in owning MLS team
what specifically about Leiweke that you don't like (especially the LIE thing)? I really don't know that much that would make me turn on him as you seem to. I mean, he strikes me as a guy who has made some big bold moves, made some mistakes, and has a normal CEO kind of "balls." Nothing real bad.
Posted Saturday August 08, 2009, About: Beckham 'definitely interested' in owning MLS team
yeah, but what would that do to the cap?
Posted Saturday August 08, 2009, About: Beckham 'definitely interested' in owning MLS team
I thought I heard they actually had a decent relationship--although I don't know what the Milan mess made of it. Was that addressed in the book (the mutual relationship or lack thereof) at all?
Posted Saturday August 08, 2009, About: Beckham 'definitely interested' in owning MLS team
gotcha. I am with you on that description.
Posted Saturday August 08, 2009, About: Beckham 'definitely interested' in owning MLS team
still subject to DP rules, salary cap, etc. As for new franchise or existing I would assume it would be new, unless somehow AEG wanted to divest of the Galaxy, or include him as partner.
