It will be interesting to [...]

My MLS Single Table

I noticed another popular MLS single table has not been updated in quite a while, so I created my own.
If you look at the official MLSnet.com standings you don’t get any idea of who is in the playoffs with their new top 2 seeds plus top 4 wildcard playoff system. Look at my single [...]

Wizards Bounce Back With Impressive Win

Anything Beckham Does Gets Attention

Usually I wouldn’t even think again about stupid stuff like this, but the first 3 paragraphs really make me wonder what the hell they are thinking.  Someone took a picture of David Beckham wearing a Cincinnati Reds baseball cap.  The Sun says that must be “really difficult for hardcore LA Galaxy fans to swallow“, and [...]
