    My thought was more that when adidas takes over, they may well suggest re-branding of some sort. As may the league.

    The latter would be a fun road trip. Annapolis is pretty cool.

    So, you can trade money for money. Because it is a different kind of money.
    ML$ rules are so messed up. I gave up on understanding them long ago.

    Yep. Targeted allocation money not only has a shelf life, it has a specific set of circumstances that must be met for it to be use.

    So if Toronto can't use the TAM for some reason, it makes sense to offload it for whatever GAM they can get

    Hey... this is pretty nifty. Atlanta FC has a MARTA train wrapped in team logos and colors. Because, you know...the season is about to start, so why not kick up some hype?

    well I guess if they intend to fleece you every single year with a $35 admission fee...then yes!

    Dunno.
    You could ask him.
    Hey, msilverstein47, welcome to the Crew boards. Where are you from/who do you support?
    Do you hate Don Garber as much as we do?

    Hey TKyle...thanks so much for the welcome. I'm actually more of a general soccer supporter since Pele first came across in the early 1970s. I've been a referee since 1984 so I find it very difficult to cheer for any particular team. Now THIS fact might get me killed...but Don Garber actually graduated from my college in upstate NY. Now he was a few years ahead of me, and no I never met him on campus. About 15 years ago or so...he did come and speak to all of us about the RB Arena that was being built at the time in Harrison, NJ. He seemed nice enough at the time, so I don't harbor any particular hard feelings. Please know that my heart is with your battle to get both a brand new stadium and remain in Columbus forever.

    Good post, now we don't have to tear you to pieces and insult your choice of fabric in your pyjamas.

    as a referee I've been verbally assaulted in nearly every language possible...so I've heard just about everything...lol
    As for fabric...I'm still partial to black. It works very well as a backdrop against my yellow and red cards!
