Good piece. I hope it pays off for them.

...Battleship.

 

The Royal Tenebaums.

Its on Royal's gravestone at the end. Although I think you might have gotten the wording a little off.

 

Well, I'm glad a user who is named after a Wes Anderson character got the reference.

This is worth checking out, too. Front page in today's NYT. It's about the rise of injuries to youth athletes...not directly about soccer...but a good, important article...

Wow. Sarcastic much?

 

Sarcastic? He did say it was his dream......I was thinking the same thing as Bell when I heard that.

 

Disappointing. I thought Steve Nicol was the only to do that.

Hopefully he learned his lesson and other MLS coaches will not make the same mistake.

 

I'm still wondering what's he done in the last two seasons come po time... But yes, that one has to be his damn fault as well....

 

That is unbelievable mismanagement to basically screw up your salary cap for 2 years for a player you have never seen play live. Nothing surprises me with the metrostars anymore.

 

I just thought the sarcasm was in that his 'dream' was more than a touch less appealing than the accomplishments he's already achieved.

I only find it suprising that the NY would use the column space to undercut what's basically the routine PR fodder. I don't see that everyday.

I agree, but I believe Nowak was signed the same way.

 

Are you kidding me!? To sign ANY player without ever having actually watched them play live is just stupid, let alone one that is going to eat up so much of your cap that if he turns out to be a bust it hurts the whole organization for two years.

thanks!

 

the guaranteed contract alone should have made Bob be more careful... or that part of the idea for signing the guy came from the ever wiser Nick.... Hope Rey does perform this season, but still is hard not to be annoyed at learning this.....

 

From an outsider's POV, I got the impressiong that he was doing good things in training but couldn't put it together for game time.

Can anyone who has watched training confirm this?
