Who is Jack McCarthy?

You must've been one of the myriad of people who fired the Tribune over the years. He's the stringer who's our acting beat writer.

the naperville sun had an article about this a week ago. but then again they had a picture of razov and said he was our midfielder dema kovalenko.
it must be hard to keep 11 players apart.

But, where's he from? Does he work for anybody else, or just free-lance, or? Experience, background, etc?

I mean, if he is the letters-from-the-lovelorn editor for the Beulah News I might react to him a little differently than if I knew he was a ghost writer for Steven Goff.

Are the Fire using this track for practice?

Trust me on this, he's not Steven Goff.

The Fire still practice in Lake Forest sharing the Bears facility, Halas Hall.

Seriously, though, was this a true donation or part of the agreement since we all knew there was going to be some damage from putting aluminum seats up over the track portions? My money would be on "in the contractual agreement". But it is possible that the Fire offered to pay during negotiations last winter.

the new track was a re-surfacing of the indoor track, inside the field house that is just east of the stadium.

and I do believe that this was a part of the contractuaral agreement between the Fire and NCC.

Do they train in Lake Forest before they go on the road? Would they be training there Wednesday before the trip Dallas? I will be down in Lake Bluff and was just wondering if they would be since the only time I could see them play, they are playing on the road. Oh well, this is the next best thing. If anybody has info post it as soon as you can because i am leaving immediatley tommorrow morning and won't have access to a computer on the road.

Thanks,
Robert
