Okay now this is cool.

Super Sean Wheelock Pm'd me with responses to my questions.

Very cool.

Class act that Sean Wheelock.

Agree that it is improving. I must chime in with some of the (mostly minor) complaints I've heard that they missed some very dramatic moments in the DC v. Colorado game and also in the NE v. Dallas match. I would think they would want to show the foul by Kante which was his 2nd yellow and got him sent off as it would set the stage for the brilliant strike by Twellman while down a man. Things like that can add a lot to bringing out the drama in a match.

It's kinda funny, but for a highlights show, they're not showing that many highlights. Maybe they don't have enough time to pull it all together but I still think they could do it.

One other quibble: when they showed last week's goals and had all four running at once, I immediately felt stoned, like I haven't been in quite some time now. :) Sort of a strange way to do it. Or maybe it's just me.

Well, I guess I may need to check my spam email account to see if they responded to my question.

He PM'd me on Bigsoccer, and gave me his email address.

I feel very special..

[I know he did the same to Jimby Meissen]

He'll learn to steer clear of this snake hole soon enough. I don't dare post my question because there are too many people who'd be horrified I asked it.

Actually Sean's been around for a while. As a longtime Wizards fan, he's well known for paying attention to what his fans and detractors have to say - as well as politely interacting with many folks.

If you've got any comments for Sean, definitely send them via the email above, or post them here.

Did you ask him, "Why the long face?"

Just kidding. Sean's the goods.

I swear, I crack myself up sometimes.

[panicfc]

It seems every time Andy posts in this thread seconds later Kenn comes in right behind him...

Could Kenn be Andy's sock puppet?
:D

[kenntomasch]

That would sure make my life easier, believe you me.

Maybe Andy is a figment of your imagination and your alter ego?

Wouldn't that just blow your mind?

[kenntomasch]

Well, we have been seen in the same place at the same time, so that shoots that theory. Unless it's a red kryptonite thing.

Sounds like a geek test to me


or maybe you hired an actor to pretend to be AndyMead so you could continue to scheme with your lunacy......

...or maybe its the sanest thing you have heard today?



Yeah, I need to get some sleep. Checking on the USLdiscussions about Cincy - what a crap fest that is.

I think Kenn is stalking me on BigSoccer.

I didn't have comments - I had a question that would be fodder for exceptional analysts by the studio experts. :) Pundits - it's time to get down.

You must enlighten us

[nancyb]

Oh no, I have no intention of getting flamed.

[panicfc]

Pm instead.

I need a good laugh

During these shows the hosts make these references to news going on in the league, like with HD Stadium, the formation of the MLS players union, etc. These are ripe stories for actually having a reporter out in the field getting quotes (or at least someone with a camera). They've got a whole hour, and there is NO other place MLS fans will get that kind of reportage other than this show(SportsCenter, yeah right).

For example, the guys made a blurb about the MLS union, with a little banter about how it's a great thing and all. But it would have been a lot more value-added if we'd gotten perspectives from league officials (Garber maybe), and from various players on what they thought about it. I consider that to be real news in the league, and it sort of got glossed over.
