    Jimmy Conrad moved to Marin County 1-2 years ago.

    I listened to some podcast where JC said he had taken an improv class, I thought at Cal, but wikipedia says he is a UCLA grad. Anyhow, the improv class is what helped to develop his fast-talking wit.

    Just heard that André Luiz Moreira had a cancer operation sold his house in Campbell and moved back to Brazil for treatment. He is doing well now and is cancer free and may continue to work with the Quakes once again.

    Glad he is doing better! Let's hope he does some scouting and gets some good players up here! :thumbsup:

    How can an average MLS 1.0 player can afford living in Marin?

    He currently has his own YouTube channel called Jimmy Conrad.


    Maybe that coupled with his new SF Glens gig help him to make a living?

    120K followers...small time. Probably only gets a couple of hundred dollars a month out of that.

    SF Glens are a glorified amateur team, highly doubt they pay him much.

    Not sure. Maybe he was smart and invested wisely while he was playing from 1998-2011? Or maybe he saved his WC and Concacaf bonuses?

    Don't know how accurate it is but here is a google search of his net worth.

    Bad news for Wynalda....

    Ex-soccer star Eric Wynalda loses home to massive Ventura fire

    Wynalda got to his in-laws’ home in Corona and turned on the TV. He said his development in Westlake Village has 162 homes, and his was the only one that burned.

    Two days earlier, Wynalda was on camera for happier reasons. He was in Las Vegas touring Cashman Field, the former minor-league baseball stadium that will be home to the Lights FC soccer team he was recently named to coach.

    He had returned to Southern California only to learn of the mass shooting during “college night” at a bar in nearby Thousand Oaks that killed 12 people, including a Ventura County police officer. Now, his house is burned.

    “All my memorabilia is gone. I only have memories now,” Wynalda said.

    Yeah, that sucks. There are a lot of Californians telling similar stories today, and there will be through the forseeable future, thanks to the world’s inability to stop producing GHGs.

    :cry: That's terrible. Losing your house sucks. Of course, dead people and pets is much, much worse. Insurance will cover a lot of the damage, but personal possessions, photos, old jerseys, even digital data, if you don't have it backed up elsewhere. All those personal items destroryed, that's the worst and most brutal part of these sorts of disasters. (Assuming no dead bodies, which is incomprehensibly worse.)

    I feel badly for Waldo, not to mention the people who died in these fires, and those who lost loved ones, and their homes and personal possessions. Just awful, awful stuff.

    Have you watched that video from Camp Fire where the only survivor out of a group of 6 goes back and sees his 5 friends completely burned in their cars, but also his two little dogs alive? Absolutely heartbreaking and horrifying.

    No, can't say that I have. But ...

    I helped dig out some houses after a flood. No one got killed there, but seeing all of their mementos and personal possessions just completely wrecked was heart wrenching. A fair number of people did get killed in that flood, houses burried in mud, people's lives completely messed up. Power out for days, and we fed some of our friends and neighbors and random people, because our stove ran on propane. It was terrible stuff.

    I have no direct experience with a big fire, but I can well imagine some of the issues.

    Remember when Dom Kinnear and the rest of the Quakes brain trust selected Kris Tyrpak over Marky Delgado in the Chivas draft... Delgado has 5 national team caps in 2018, Tyrpak is going to the new Austin USL team

    Austin Bold FC signs winger Kris Tyrpak

    I didn’t know who Tom Liner is, but my husband met him while running around the Foothill College track a couple of months ago

    I'm pretty sure I saw Liner's head hit a goalpost pretty hard at Spartan once going for a ball. Not tall but very active. I wish him well.

    We spent time with Tim and his family at the 20th Anniversary game at Avaya - wonderful people. I very much hope a match can be found.

    When you hear about tragedies like this you realize that a crappy season like we just had is not that big of a deal.

    Out of all the players who tried out in the Open tryouts in 1996, I believe Tom Liner was the only one who made it on the Clash's inaugural roster.
