Having watched virtually all Adu's MLS games until this year, I was prepared to enjoy the match against Poland. Adu, to my mind, is a fan's...
The first time DC United played New York last year, Adu was matched up against Marvell Wynne. Adu tried to beat Wynne for pace several times,...
Freddy is capable certainly of scoring several goals against, if that's what's meant by playing the game of your career. But he's not likely to...
Re: Alleged racist comment from Peter Nowak - HEAVILY MODERATED - Part II Surely we don't punish people for being "perceived" as racists. If...
In the 1920s and 1930s, if you had referred to someone we now refer to as an African-American as "black," he most likely would have been deeply...
Re: Alleged racist comment from Peter Nowak - HEAVILY MODERATED - Part II Here are the relevant sections of your post. They clearly argue...
Re: Alleged racist comment from Peter Nowak - HEAVILY MODERATED - Part II The issue is not how many or most people would interprete the phrase...
Re: Alleged racist comment from Peter Nowak - HEAVILY MODERATED - Part II I don't want to offend the ever-watchful moderators by continuing...
Re: Alleged racist comment from Peter Nowak - HEAVILY MODERATED - Part II If your thinking is muddled, repeating it won't make it any more...
Re: Alleged racist comment from Peter Nowak - HEAVILY MODERATED - Part II Define "racist."
--- Continued from Part II --- Tell you what, cowboy. Go out and find yourself a black dude, if he's not actually from Africa, even better....
At the risk of seeming naive, I continue to believe that we would all be better off if we used words carefully and precisely. As several...
Ah, but the beauty of Casey's approach was that it sounded like he was sharing some rare bits of wisdom with you; only you were never sure exactly...
No one disagrees that Freddy said he learned about defensive positioning at national camp--- because he told us so. You, on the other hand,...
All of this is a huge leap from Freddy's saying that he learned something at camp. You can speculate all you want (or is fantasize?) but I...
Anybody want Nowak's job? Hard to know what's worse, having to explain everything to the press or trying to keep 28 (?) players happy through the...
Absolutely there's always room for cool, dispassionate evaluations of a player's strengths and weaknesses, but, as I recall, not many postings...
Another Bobby sighting! The highlights of the Reading v Sheffield United match from last night's (14 Feb 2006) show turned out to be a Convey...
Shuffling the roster like the Metrostars is very often a loser. Did Ray's purges really make DC a better team? Unless you're trading your...
I would agree that the current roster looks, at best, like a MLS Cup semi-final team, largely because its essentially the same as last year's....

The problem is that risk-taking, flair, and panache are not parts a central defender's job description. Give me careful, strong, and steady any...
As far as attendance is concerned, being away for almost two months in the summer can't be a good thing either.
