First page

 

Garber to world: "Girls have cooties."

 

"I am pleased to announce that there will always be Swiss cheese on the deli tray in the press lounge from now on."

 

Stadium for DC?

Probably just where the All-Star game will be next year and possibly who against.

 

• new CBA? (would be early, and discussions only started recently)
• Expansion? (Montreal announced)
• Stadium? (Houston, SanJose, Portland, DC)
• MLS&USL partnership? - new youth/farm system? (NO Promo/Rel or merging)
• mode & structure of the league (single table or/and no, 2 or 3 conferences)
• salarycap raise?
• new sponsor or broadcaster or simply a new deal with a current one?
• retirement?
• place/opponent of AllStar game 2010?
• new AllStar format (domestic vs foreign)?
• SUM taking over the US Open Cup?

 

Montreal 2011

 

That would be really anticlimactic, at least as far as I'm concerned.

If it were about a stadium for DC, we surely would have heard rumblings so far, right? Or maybe there have been rumblings and I haven't been following it closely.

 

Becks to AC Milan?

 

This is probably not about expansion at least specifically. MLS over the last several years has alway wanted to announce he expansion from the city itself not somewhere else. Having said that the possibility could be of a new bid process or plan related to expansion. For example, MLS will add 1 team in 2012 and 1 in 2013 and then take an expansion pause for a few years.

What I would like to hear is some word on a new CBA Agreement changing the DP and Salary Cap rules. However, I also doubt this because the CBA is complex agreement and the 2 sides are just wading into feeling each other out as to what they might accept.

My guess is something related to a stadium - Houston?, a major sponsor or some agreement with one of the foreign clubs touring the US.

 

What the hell is it?

Edit:

The league is folding! :

 

Hey, that's El Jefe's shtick, man.

 

My guess is that it will be very generic and people will go apeshit over it being a letdown. Like many businesses, MLS often oversells "announcements." I go by the maxim that if we don't know what it is ahead of time, it's probably not that good, but I hope I am wrong.

 

All teams are being relocated to Seattle?

 

Not me. I learned years ago: "My Serenity is inversely proportional to my expectations".

 

Officially rename the league Major League Seattle.

 

In the interest of parity, they're gonna relocate Seattle's fans to other cities.

 

The announcement is that Jim Rome finally jumps onboard.

 

New York has signed Michael Vick as their 2nd DP.

 

That the real announcement wll be in 60-90 days.

 

Juan Carlos Osorio being fired? We can only hope.

 

LMAO. Out of all the funny ones in this thread this has to be one of my fav's because it's totally realistic.
