Nice article. Freddy showing a lot of maturity in his answers.

That's because he's really 35.

I have the evidence documentation up for sale on EBay, and I'm hoping he'll buy it.

HA!

That's because he's really 35. If that was true, the metros would have signed him. He has alot of energy for an old decrepit 35-year-old :)

The article's not very good. It implies that Adu is playing less this year than last year. So far he is getting about the same amount of playing time as he was a year ago: 2 starts in the team's first 7 MLS games (subbed in or started in all 7).
