VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY
I have to admit - this is pretty frickin funny. I never thought I would type that sentence when referring to Ellen Degeneres and David Beckman.
-Stolen directly from the great Offside Rules!
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Attention potential season ticket holder for Orlando City SC. This is what your owner Phil Rawlins things of you:
"Why would they be? When you're talking about investment on the scale and the range we're talking about, you're talking about investment from business people and executives in the community, not a season-ticket holder. They've given their all and their help by contributing and buying tickets ... but there's a lot of distance between your season-ticket base and (investors)."
You've been warned.
QUESTION OF THE DAY
How will Seattle, Portland and Vancouver deal with security when their fans travel to each others stadiums next season?
Don Ruiz of the Tacoma News Tribune has words from Seattle GM Adrian Hanauer on the topic.
HMMMMM, VERY INTERESTING
In an official press release from the New York Cosmos they have announced that their legendary player Giorgio Chinaglia has rejoined the club as their International Ambassador.
I have one question about this though. Has he ever been cleared of charges in Italy of extortion, insider trading and money laundering while he was President of Lazio? He fled the country when the first arrest warrant was issued.
-The story has laid quietly in the corner since 2008. The Irish Times had the most thorough story I ever read on the subject. But I have not seen anything more about it in 2 years.
I am not passing any judgments here, but those are serious charges.
THIS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT
