    You can see Bradley getting in Marsch's face there too. Maybe a yellow for him?

    Funny how the league let's NYCFU play on a postage stamp in Yankee Stadium without comment.

    Will Friedel incorporate a New England accent into that weird quasi-English accent he picked up?

    Not that any of us much care given the current circumstances, but today is Contract Deadline Day (woohoo!).

    You can get all the earth-shattering contract optioning and declines at MajorLeagueSoccerSoccer.com. There's also a tracker that gives all (ha!) the details.

    the league has revealed four finalists for the first two expansion spots, which will be announced before the end of the year:  

    Cincinnati 
    Detroit 
    Nashville 
    Sacramento 

    The finalists will make presentations to the league's Expansion Committee and Commissioner Don Garber on Dec. 6, and the MLS Board of Governors meeting on Dec. 14 will include additional discussions on expansion with ownership representatives from every team.

    Is there a need to make another presentation at this point or does MLS brass like watching people kiss their ass for the sake of it?

    I love that Expansion has become less about what city is ready and who has the best shot at a successful team and more about who will kiss Sleazy Don's a$$ the most.

    I'm sure lawyers in San Antonio were very excited by this news.

    Seriously, I can't believe San Antonio isn't going nuts over this.

    I'm sure they are seething right now. But they may be taking a measured approach, since they are technically still in the mix for the next round.

    Lots of trades happening in MLS today. Kei, Walker Zimmerman, Brillant among names traded.

    I'm struggling to think of a trade in history as bad for nearly every party involved as today's MTL/LAFC deal. Thorrington and Bradley are either insensitive, incompetent, or maybe both. In other words, perfect for MLS.

    Does that simply mean the team didn't want to spend more money on him or is he saying there is a league wide rule that would exclude him?

    It's MLS. It means both NY teams get an extra 100K salary cap.

    I can see this. TAM's kinda meant to attract new players to the league--not recycled ones.

    Dude was arguably the best gk in the league for a couple of years. Bit harsh to call him a 'recycled player'.

    He's in the re-entry draft, isn't he???

    I'd call that "recycled",
