News: Other Team's News III [R]

And if they ever have a ESPN2 friday night game at home, please make it after 8:00. Traffic blows on Friday rush hour. Screw all the Brits that have to stay up an extra hour!

 

ESPN2 mainly shows games on Thursdays. So basically, we're surprised that a Friday night playoff game had more viewers than a Thursday night game or the "select" 13 games ESPN2 showed on weekends during the regular season.

 

Wrong again. ESPN did weekend games up until last year (maybe the year before).

Seriously, give up this argument. You lost, and it's just embarrassing now.

 

That is ironic, considering you are trying to prove that you are right.

 

thats the point

 

SBI's All-Rookie Best XI.

Nice to see some credit given to Barnes and Alston even though actual voters failed.

 

I was excited about the game all day, and even took a short nap to give myself a burst of energy to stay up and watch it. I then proceeded to completely pass out on the couch and miss the entire thing

 

Interesting article talking about the economic impact of the Sounders on local businesses:

Donovan wins the MVP award.

Shalrie was robbed.

 

shalrie didn't win because he's black.
no black player has ever one the award.

 

Those who vote on the award don't know the sport like we do. He was robbed.

 

Shalrie actually ended up finishing third in the voting, LD had 39% of the votes, Cunningham 25.3%, and Shalrie had 17.6%.

I'm actually more pissed off that Donovan won goal of the year than anything else. He wasn't even in the top five after the preliminary voting and then all of a sudden he won. Lopez, Montero, Mathis, Eskandarian, and Jankuaskas all scored goals that were equal if not better. There's not a doubt in my mind that it was rigged.

 

I can't tell if you two are being sarcastic or not.

 

Not being Landon Donovan hurt him. Taking nothing away from Donovan and his accomplishments, his position as the USMNT's most valuable player heading into a World Cup year almost certainly swayed some voters.

 

I thought that was a guy who is probably still in traction at the moment.

 

Maybe Shalrie should have won, but I really cant argue with Donovan winning it. He had an outstanding season for a team that had a very good year.

 

Not really serious, but there hasn't ever been a black league mvp.
