    (this is all paraphrased so corrections are welcome)

    Eric Wynalda was a guest in-studio and they were talking about his role with ESPN. Eric was saying how he has an open mike so he can converse with the booth during the game. Harkes mentions how he has some good banter with Rob, but sometimes there is a little too much talking.....and this is where Harkes says something like..."and some people need to learn when to stop talking" and pretends to button his lip. I inferred he meant Ty - was that other people's perception?

    Also, Eric's analysis of LA's problems this year - "they suck"

    Yeah, I caught that and cracked up.. You could see Wheelock crack up as well because earlier this week Sean was a guest on the radio show that I'm on (The Soccer Show - Monday's at 6 pm Eastern - www.wust1120.com) and we asked him how much freedom he has to say things on his mind and he commented on how at ESPN he had to tow the company line and not be too negative and I said "well I guess that explains why Ty Keough still has a job" which sent the room into complete hysterics..

    As for the LA sucks comment, I do believe that was directed at the Dallas Burn and not LA..

    It was definitly directed at the LA Galaxy. And I'm not sure if I'm the only one but I got the impression that there was some animosity between Wheelock and Wynalda. I also got the impression the Sean felt left out a couple times. Maybe it's just because I loath Wynalda but that was the impression me and a couple others had.

    And spot on. As a Galaxy fan, I should have been offended, but I wasn't.

    I think the whole quote was "They are too talented to suck the way they do." Which is hardly what you would call analysis...

    Wynalda and Harkes also seemed to have a running gag about Sean Wheelock's sycophant comments about Harkes career. Sean was playing along, making fawning references about Harkes, and every time Harkes and Wynalda would crack up.

    actually, i have that on tape and they were definitely talking about LA. Harkes asked him about LA. Wynalda's response was that they were "2 good of a team to be playing this bad ........... the reality of it is that they basically suck"

    Mods, if you feel like maxim-1, please feel free to move.

    I thought it was MLS relevant - as it wasn't about the show, but the content within.

    A lot of MLS Wrap/FSW stuff does wind up in the MLS forum. It doesn't seemed to ever get moved. It's just something that's a common refrain from me at least. I just happen to be a big fan of the FSW forum, especially because people from FSW tend to read it often, but recently it seems that the only discussion in it has to do with people needlessly bitching and griping. Unfortunately my contrabutions to it have been extremely descreased due to me no longer getting FSW but hey.

    I thought it was hilarious.

    Eric is arrogant, but for that, we love him.

    Like how John just rolled his eyes at Sean and Eric was laughing under his breath when Sean did something weird.

    The image I got was of one of those kids who are nice to you until they are with their friends and then make fun of you, but only in a way that lets you think they are only joking.
    What's that?.... No I don't have any childhood issues :)

    "Too good a team to suck."

    Sad but true.
