Per Goff's Blog this AM:
*Whatever happened to the USSF's probe of Cuauhtemoc Blanco's behavior during the Open Cup quarterfinal vs. DCU?
Apparently, two individuals who will be involved in the review have been on vacation. Rest assured, the situation is far from over. Blanco's apology, issued in a prepared statement last week, was clearly a peace offering and an attempt to soften the blow of what could be a considerable penalty. Once the USSF makes its ruling, MLS might act. True, the Open Cup was not an MLS event. But Blanco is a league employee and subject to additional sanctions. From what I've been told, the videotapes widely viewed in the days after the game tell only part of the story and that other evidence might be introduced. Stay tuned.....

Note to the mods:
Instead of closing this thread when the inevitable Blanco fanboyz start showing up, could we just get some forum bans instead?

They won't give me the power to ban people unilaterally.
I'll make a deal... all of you ignore Blanco's Nut Riders and I won't close the thread.

Damn, and I just repped revelation elsewhere. Can someone rep him again for that brilliant post?

I think we'll hear nothing official on this until after the Glorious Big Ass All-Star Game (tm)(c)(r) is over. Can't have a marquee star in bad light.

I'm sure you're right, and that's pathetic. I'm sure they'd want the ratings from Mexican fans to boost the All Star viewership. That's el crapito.

You know you can ask the supermods to do this, right?

Yeah, but that takes time. I go for the quick fix of deleting posts I don't like.

It's a damn shame that happened, otherwise you would know that the First Amendment doesn't apply here.

Last time I heard they were going to castrate him (huevos rancheros), but they found he had no balls!
