Re: If MLS wants to grow...
the Galaxy/Dynamo is on ESPN2, is it not? There's no way ESPN would choose MLS over SEC football on a Saturday evening.

I think this needs elaboration.
Los Angeles v Houston is the third time ESPN will be showing the Galaxy in the post-season (out of three possible of course). Since the Galaxy feature the most popular player in the league by far (especially for the people already not "won over"), isn't that a helpful move by ESPN?

They would need to manipulate the 4th dimension to do what you are suggesting:
1.) Determine most exciting game
2.) Go back in time
3.) Air game live on basic cable
