    the irony of that is tenfold.
    if I remember right, he played for Chivas at the time. Who we played in the first round of the playoffs (we magically made). We beat them.

    And in normal fashion, both Besagno's Pumas and Watson's Orlando City fall in the USOC. Thanks guys :(

    Easily his greatest contribution to the team. And, it was a very humorous moment, we all enjoyed. But, we've moved on.

    What?!

    That was Dema's puppy, after the last Rice-Eccles home game. Eskandarian wasn't around for the opening of Rio Tinto.

    Don't make me break out the sock puppet.

    I know for a fact, Esky took the corner kick when Talley scored against Everton. That was our 3rd or 4th corner kick goal of all time.

    Win, lose, or draw, he was always the player who walked around the field saluting the fans. Remember, Kyle Beckerman was very hated here in Salt Lake at one time too.

    oh thats right. freaking dema. it was one of those dogs that i would just like to kick as well, one of those little yappy mother********ers slightly smaller than a soccer ball that you'd like to punt over the moon.

    in either case, both those guys were douchebags.

    Yeah, but those dogs and his five-o-clock shadow got Dema the job with DirecTV doing the Russian Plutocrat thing.

    I do miss Dema. Eskandarian on the other hand was a tool.

    I should have called him Massive Headwound Harry like we called Wilmington's keeper yesterday.

    Kind of like Esky.

    Esky lost a bet I would guess. Demas dog takes a dump on the field and Esky had to wear it on his head. At least thats what it looked like.

    Tejada's major fault is his first attempt at the league he appeared to not take the league seriously, came into camp fat and was quickly sent packing because of it. He is currently in shape, as we saw in the Gold Cup. And, he's certainly learned a thing or two about MLS in the intervening years. He could be a great signing for them.

    I watched a couple of the Panama games with Tejada and yes he is in shape and dangerous but I would think that it would be 70-30 against him being a good signing.

    I think he has an attitude that is troublesome.

    None of the other players did him any favors when he was here.

    With the strike force RSL now has I would welcome him as a trialist at RSL.

    Old friend Jeff Cunningham tied the MLS record for goals tonight.

    Goals per team

    Columbus: 63 goals
    Dallas: 33 goals
    Salt Lake: 19 goals
    Colorado: 12 goals
    Toronto: 6 goals

    Goals-to-Games Ratio

    Salt Lake: 19 goals in 32 games
    Dallas: 33 in 66
    Colorado: 12 in 26
    Columbus: 63 in 193
    Toronto: 6 in 32

    but the one stat that matters: How many championships has Jeff won?

    I'm really not sure this stat even matters in a league where the regular season means so little in respect to a championship. Especially in a sport like soccer.

    I'll give more kudos and respect to what a team / player does consistently over an entire season than a few weeks in late October / November.

    Case in point in the respect department:

    RSL 2010 > RSL 2009 Cup Champs

    I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I'll take 10 seasons of the Jazz competing for a championship every year (and not winning) vs. 1 championship and 9 years of sucktitude.

    Yes, I'm sure I just managed to take this thread / comment on a wild tangent.

    I bring it up because its not like Jeff is consistently on bad teams. He has been on some pretty good teams, in fact. For whatever reason, though, the ones he is on just can't get it done when it matters.

    I'll admit it, I'm not a Jeff Cunny fan at all. He's a nice enough guy when I've met him in person, but I think his work ethic on the field is utter shite. Which is why I think he's never seen any hardware. In games that matter it requires a player to go all in and be a member of a team. That means filling in wherever necessary. Cunny only plays forward, and rarely plays defense (when he's not tying his shoes). He's a pariah on every team he's been on as evidenced by his many clubs throughout his career. Great forward, shitty team mate, zero hardware.

    To this day I can't think of Cunningham without remembering that goal in RES where he ran over and kissed his own player poster on the sidelines. Classic.
