    the biggest question for me is if the statue will be life sized

    RSL FO: best we can do is a leftover bobble head and some gold spray paint.

    A life-size bobblehead? Cool!

    while we are on the topics of statues: did anyone see the Beckham statue LA made? I find the herbalife logo extremely off putting. Not just because herbalife is off putting. It seems wrong to put a jersey sponsor on a permanent fixture. I would be really upset to see XANGO or LifeVantage on a Rimando statue.

    Mostly I was sad they didn't get the same sculptor as the ones who did the Cristiano Ronaldo or the Brandi Chastain ones.

    The could make the statue 6ft tall and it would be larger than life size compared to Nick

    The first time I saw that scene, I laughed as hard as I ever have during a movie.

    Maybe Herbalife paid for the statue?

    Wondering this morning if Tim Howard is upset he doesn't get the "final year before retirement" limelight all to himself.

    DC did a nice thing for Nicky before Saturday's game, then went and put five past him. Some appreciation!

    (When he played with them, both Olsen and Petke were on the team, too. Neat!)

    Question: Is Rimando getting recognition in away stadiums in his retirement tour?

    You need a cooperative opponent for that to happen, as the video shows.

    That would be quite the send off in his last game.

    That video was ridiculous but along those lines I say the next time we have a relatively meaningless PK this season we let Nicky come up and take it.

    Nicky is at 147 career shutouts; here's to getting to 150 and beyond before retirement.

    He just played his 500th MLS game too! That's nuts.

    sometimes I feel like this is just a month away, other times I don't think he'll hit it. With 15 games left this season I would hope we could find 3 clean sheets...

    Though this glosses over the problem the club is having of transition, again. Really, in an ideal world, Putna should be starting every other game or 2 out of 3. Instead we're playing 3 games in 8 days with Nicky in goal in all 3. That's just... well par for the course

    If only he had been anywhere near being in position on that last corner he most definitely would be sitting on 148 shutouts. But oh well.
