Did anyone see...

[bobby yabbo]

On the video, beginning of 2nd half-camera was on DC coming onto field.

Jaime, Adu and (was it Gros?) coming on the field. Adu talking to Jaime, but Jaime not even looking at him. Adu keeps talking, looks for acknowledgement, an answer. Jaime staring off into space. That was weird.

Do these guys have a problem? It seemed until last game, they didn't exactly play well together- from what I saw, but I thought Adu played better then Jaime in Colorado game..are they fighting or something? Shouldn't they get over that?

[TEConnor]

I saw this too. It appeared to me that Jaime was praying. Understandable non-reaction in that regard.

Children should be seen and not heard :D

Maybe Freddy was pointing out some hot babe in the stands and Jaime was trying to find her ....

[vivaelbolivar]

i hope their not fighting. even though adu is very good if he were smart he would take advantage of playing alongside one of the greatest forwards this league has ever had. imho

This seems a little thin for a debate even by big soccer standards doesnt it???

Of course not. We can divine everything about a team and interpersonal relationships through a few seconds of video without any context or audio. :p

There's a debate going on?

Seemed a simple question, only problem is that there are thousands of possible explanations. Could be that Jaime was distracted by his appearance on the Jumbotron, for all we know...

My Father in Law is blind. Once when my friend came over to our house and saw him, he said hello but my Father in Law didn't say anything or move. My buddy thought that was odd, didn't say anything but later asked what was up. I told him he was praying and when he prays he does not acknowledge anything until he is finished.

Could be Jaime was into a prayer as Tim said earlier or he was too pumped up to really notice what was around him, I really don't know.

Shouldn't they get over that?It's obvious that Jaime hates Freddy and is jealous of him. In fact, every player on the team hates Freddy. I can just feel it. Can't you?

[DoctorD]

Hate the game, not the playa

Hate the game, not the playa

Well put.

I could care less how they feel about each other. All I want is to see men in black uniforms kicking small white spheres into big white boxes adorned with netting. That's it, nothing more. If they bitch and whine at each other, ignore each other, or make out in the locker room I, again, could care less.

[mcontento]

Bobby's jealous.

There was a feature on MLS Wrap on FSW last weekend on Adu. In it they interviewed Dema who basically seemed to admit that some guys are jealous of Freddy and all of the attention he is getting.

If the team's winning these sorts of things wouldn't be a big deal. With the team not winning I would imagine it gets magnified.

If these guys are jealous then they have taken too many headers and have lost it. Freddy is their meal ticket. Look at attendance at games without Freddy and look at attendance with Freddy. At the moment he is an important reason why these guys have salaries at all. They can get "jealous" when their presence or absence at a game has any bearing on attendance. He is probably the only person in the league that actually earns his salary from the number of butts he puts in the seats.

I didn't see it so I don't know what the context was. I wonder if he meant DCU guys though...

[MikeLastort2]

The jealousy of Freddy (his abilities and his paycheck) actually is the prime reason why the team hasn't been playing too well lately.

I think we should trade him. Seriously. We'll have to do it for another P-40 so as not to affect the salary cap. I bet we could get Craig Capano from Chicago, or Devin Barclay from Columbus, Jordan Stone from Dallas, or Ned Grabavoy from LA. Any one of those would be available for Freddy on a straight up trade, and the jealousy that's making us lose lately will disappear!

I think I'm going to send an e-mail to Kevin Payne telling him to do it.

I miss JRI, I'm sure he'd have an opinion on this and how it shows that Moreno never passes the ball to Adu because he hates him.

[Pints]

Just visit the thread of the team we are about to play. He literally jumps from thread to thread week by week posting "Freddy Stories." He's got one up in the Revs section already. He has even gone as far as changing his team "favorite" to match the team we are about to play. Very strange behavior. I am starting to think jri is Freddy's mom.

jri is a good example of the type we call "One Who Has No Life" (This is a subset of the type known as "One With Too Much Time on His Hands")

These people are best left ignored.

Freddy certainly puts butts in seats, but there was MLS before he was a part of it.

I absolutely think he's a net plus, but there are certainly some drawbacks to turning an entire league into the Freddy Show.
