RSL News :: 2007, part VI [R]

Salt Lake has a lot of attractions for the right person. Never forget that world class talent came to Utah for the Olympics and found it a pretty good place, and some stayed.

Yes, but I also have a hard time forgetting that Donny and Marie had a prominent role in the closing ceremonies....

As much as I love Pope, for the right offer, I would ship him yesterday since we are building for next year. But with them only getting him for a couple months, I would think it wouldn't be much more than a later round superdraft pick. In that case, I'd rather have RSL suck up Pope's last few games and have a true class guy retire in SLC. Afterall, we don't have much to hang our hat on.

As much as we would hate to admit this, is there a chance that Pope would un-retire if the venue was different?

If the rumors are true...body falling apart AND certain members of his family not happy in Salt Lake / Park city...probably not.

I think the venue he was talking about wasn't a new stadium, but a new place. What if he was traded to DC? I'll bet he'd do that. It's the closest team to North Carolina, and they love him there. However, I don't see a trade happening, and it would be uncharactaristically uncouth of Pope to burn RSL and Salt Lake in such a fashion.

Love that word. Thanks for bringing it. I swear only about 3 people I know use that word and 2 of them are family memebers and the third is me.

I've been called uncouth before, does that count?

Isn't that your photo next to the dictionary definition...?

My dad says it, but then he lives in Idaho and sees a lot of that...

Depends, were you acting uncouth?

Yikes. Not to be an ingrate regarding their presentation to Pope, but good grief, 'nothing' would have been better than a carnival caricature. How about a nicely framed United Jersey with his name on it. Sheesh.

NICE. The few times I've seen him, I've been impressed. Good pickup, especially for a later superdraft pick.

Chivas: From rock bottom worst to best in the west in three years

Meanwhile, RSL continues to languish near the bottom...

Who me? I think the last time i was called that, someone saw up my kilt

i will add you to the list.

Camacho says that Benfica has a glut of players. Will Adu be off-loaded?
