With an Army of Frankie Hejduks
I would rule the World

You've got to almost feel sad for whomever the Revolution midfielder was that got to witness the bottomless well of pure speed that Frankie Hejduk used once again to put himself at the back line and feed Kei Kamara for the goal that salvaged a point against MLS' all time choke artists. I wouldn't blame the Revs defender's too much. When that cross appeared out of the black and yellow tornado that is Frankie Hejduk, James Riley could only assume that the cross would be coming at him like a Harpoon missile. That cross had to look like the sickest breaking ball that any batter has ever faced when looking for the the high heat to come across the plate for the 2-2 pitch. Riley has got to be wondering how Hedjuk was able to make the ball dip under his foot and curl deftly to Kamara's foot for the blast past Reis.

Poor Andy Herron.

Sadly, you're going to get 4-6 weeks for the elbow on Jay Heaps. Hell, some angry ass Revfan has already updated your Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Herron) entry, accusing you of yet another "dirty foul". RevsNation should keep it's dirty trap shut about thuglife players as long as it has players like Heaps and Franchino (How's rehab going Joey?) on it's roster. Hell, it was probably Steve Nicol who did the update via his Blackberry. Seems Revfan already has a fairly unhealthy fixation (http://www.revolutionsoccer.net/search/index.cfm?ac=searchdetail&pid=21885&pcid=115) on the former Fire MVP, not to mention former Fire totem pole, Nate Jaqua, now of the Galaxy. Apparently Joey and Jay Jay are sweet little angels that have never been the deliverer of an ill timed studs up challenge, as that would sully their "pillars of the community" images they have earned by donating their entire salaries to worthy causes such as Carrots for Lab Bunnies (http://www.dumbass.com/) & Franchino Fund to Recycle Half-Empty Liquor Bottles. MLS shouldn't be handing out suspensions for this. They should hand out bonuses to any player that puts the elbow to whiny, bitchy players like Heaps, Ben Olsen and Joey Franchino that are more than willing to deliver the cheap shot, but whine like jilted prom dates when it Karma comes calling.

Coach Johnston &
the fickle finger of Roster picking


Memo to Mo Johnston: This is a professional soccer league, not a fantasy squad!, Then again, someone should maybe tell him it is MFLS or some other Fantasy League and that's only has 4 trades left for the entire season. This week, Mo dealt a Richard Mulrooney to Colorado for defender Kevin Goldthwaite, a cup of warm spit and some draft picks. He also picked up defender Marvell Wynne for a partial allocation and a conditional gymbag to be be named later. And he also sent Conor Casey to Colorado for the rights to some Canuckistani Defender that's on trial with St. Pauli. Conor will be thrilled to be back home in Colorado where he can see his parents, when they come down from the higher altitudes to forage for food, as the Sasquatch are prone to do, now that human development encroaches into their habitat. I'm sure Johnston is hopeful that that all this imported defense, along with his acquisition of Danny Dichio, will make the all too expansion looking Toronto FC, look something like opening season of Chivas, which would be a stellar improvement over their current state.

Oh yeah, the Crew signed aging Argie, Guillermo Barros Schelotto from Boca Juniors. Sigi Schmid needs the offense and hopes Schelotto can provide it, along with a couple of pieces of Schelotto's going away cake from Boca.

Oh yeah, no Week 2 Recap? Sorry, it's been a*%holes and elbows at "the work" this week. Maybe I'll combine it with a week 3 Preview if my minions manage to make quota tomorrow. Bricks without straw and all that.

i'm glad to hear i'm not the only one who thinks the revs are bunch of hypocritical thugs (well, i know i'm not the only one, but i still like heairng other people say it). i do think its hilarious that they hate guerrero of the Fire so much for doing nothing but taking an elbow from one of their "classier" players (by the way, do you think crew fans are gonna blame jay heaps for andy's coming suspension?) still, i hope heaps is alright after that elbow. i think he's a dirty player who uses cheap shots to make up for his lack of skill, and i'm sure he also deserved it, but you hate to see that happen to a player.

you probably could've pointed out that steve nicol whines worse than a 3rd grade girl losing to her older brother in basketball, but still, you did good.

and bonus points for throwing ben olsen into the list of players who dive in to way too many dirty tackles and whine when anybody hits them back, even though he doesn't play for the revs.

The defense looked a bit shaky in the Revs - Cbus games in the highlights, any one see the whole game? I know it's normally not a great idea to judge defense watching a goal scoring video. :)

Kamara looks like all the people clamoring for him to start at the beginning of the season were right.

I thought the Revs defense was solid for about 60 minutes of the game (10th to the 70th). However the Revs D looked lost the last 20 minutes.

Well, I guess soccer's finally made it when spoilers hit the front page.
Can't wait until the day I'm afraid to open the browser at all.

What spoiler?

[edit]Ah the paragraph, was looking at the title.

[miked9]

Why is this garbage on the front page?

I expect nonsense like this to pop up on the forums but I don't understand how this is a facet of BigSoccer posting (regardless of club affiliation) that should be highlighted.

[SankaCofie]

Its a soccer website. It will have soccer news. If you don't want to see the news... i'm sure you can control yourself and not visit the website for a few hours.

i'm glad to hear i'm not the only one who thinks the revs are bunch of hypocritical thugs (well, i know i'm not the only one, but i still like heairng other people say it).

I wouldn't call the revs a bunch of hypocritical thugs... I'd call them a bunch of no-talent hacks who couldn't string more than 4 passes together if they were playing a youth team, and who will never win anything in their over-long and uninspiring careers.

[Saeyddthe]

Maybe there are reasons not soccer-related that necessitate visiting this site, you short-sighted slef-absorbed little twat.
The [R]esults tag is a ********ing rule. I don't complain when results are accidentally posted in the forums themselves...no other reason to be there anyway.
But this is on the front ********ing page.
ffff******** off.

[SankaCofie]

LoL. I knew that would piss you off.

I was just messin with ya. Not really that motivated to argue over it so no need to get all pissy. I'm done with the whole "why visit a soccer page and get upset when you see soccer news" argument.

You visited. You saw the spoiler. Tough crap.

And why are you getting all bent out of shape over the result of a Crew game. Its not like it was going to be good soccer or entertaining or anything.

Because its funny, and I like it.

Lighten up Francis.

Oh, I get it. You're the cool guy.

I'll catch you after studyhall.

Actually, it wasn't half bad. Of course the late Hejduk kabosh may be coloring my opinion, but so be it.

Now that they've put out the call for BigSoccer bloggers, can I make a request for a complementary BigSoccer editor/proofreader? Pretty good writing, but holy crap, man, do you even reread before submitting?!?

[JonfromVegas]

Seriously guy, do you need a punchline in EVERY sentence?

You're full of shit.
I was responding to your expletive laden rant, which you have since edited to "- - - -" ...

As far as the thread itself... :rolleyes:
Knowing how to use the image tag doesn't make it an "article"...or anything worth reading, really.
I have to wonder how many chapters you have left in that copy of 'Similes & Punchlines for Dummies'...
The appendix brought us Matisse...hopefully it will also bring an end to your posting.

[SankaCofie]

Actually it wasn't an expletive laden rant. It was a random insertion of the word ******** to see how many ******** asterisks ******** ******** ******** I could fit in there to give the impression that I was ********ing ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** pissed off before I realized ******** that you'd probably ******** ******** ******** take it to heart ******** ******** ******** and get all upset. unfortunate that I didn't edit it in time. like I said ********. I could ********ing care less. I editted it ******** ******** because I didn't ******** ******** ******** want to get flagged for a personal attack on a subject ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** that for one, is absurd, and has already been beaten to death anyway ********.

The - - - - was already in there. to seperate the part were I was tweaking brittle people from the part I where was pointing out how crap NE is.

From the highlights the game actually looked fairly good. I'm upset that I missed it. Not as upset as I was when I visted the MLS website and the bastards ruined the score for me. Now there is no point in firing up the TiVo.

[Jonny Bishop]

Show me a team with eleven Frankie Hejduks on the field and I'll show you a team that doesn't make the play-offs.

[Mr. Warmth]

Ummm, where did I put the score in the post?

[nedigital]

Heyduk made a *fine* cross but it should have been knocked out for a throw-in or corner. I use fine in the sense of ordinary, OK. It went under Riley's foot, luckily, so there you have it. He's a good scrappy player, much like, dare I say, Heaps. Heaps is highly useful by the way, he cleans up all the messes for the Revs especially in the absence of Parkhurst.

To say the Revs are hypocrites and thugs, well it's fun to try and start a war of words but it's just too early in the season for that. Herron will be suspended, and life will go on as normal.

Maybe you should back off Franchino. His playing style is one thing but to attack personal problems is just classless. I am sick to my stomach that your shite post is on the front page. Grow up.

Rich as hell, coming from a dire fire fan. This post pretty much defines irony.
