aye... i was reading that story... and just started cracking up so damn loud it wasn't even funny i really wish they could at least start to be creative with the way they mention the time until the next "announcement"
As a "deal" lawyer I do think 60-80 days is a reasonable time frame to deal with a bond indenture, etc. I know, I know . . . they always say 60 days. Just wanted to let folks know that is probably close to being right - maybe a bit longer since there probably is no particularily pressing deadline and the lawyers will work away until someone is able to install one.
First line in story: "Veterans Joe-Max Moore and Peter Nowak might be the biggest new names at the Revolution camp, but rookie Pat Noonan might prove to be just as valuable." Last line from story: "Midfielder Peter Nowak, who was traded to the Revs from the Chicago Fire last month, retired. Nowak, the Fire's first player and its captain for five seasons, said he wants to end his career with Chicago. The Revs now will get an undisclosed pick in next year's draft as compensation." They would have done a rewrite, but it's only soccer...
despite the ironic use of the term '60 days', this is still significant news. they said after the previous deal fell through they would try to work something out with just the city of harrison. it appears these talks have have borne fruit...albeit full ripeness isn't for 60 days. it is so imperative the metros get out of their current stadium situation that this had to be considered fantastic news....despite being as of yet unofficial. of course, i just woke up and had my first cup of coffee and am feeling good. the cynic in me hasn't woken up yet.
Same here. But seriously, this is pretty exciting news. It's actually starting to sound as if the stadium might be built.
Hey, it is still winter, after all. 60 days, spring will be approaching. Doesn't full ripeness set in around summer? I don't grow fruit.
MLS had been pretty good getting their stories up online. http://www.mlsnet.com/content/03/2003newsstand.html
The Metros, Nick S. in particular, has been real quiet regarding stadium developments, especially due to the NJ Senate fiasco this past December. For him to communicate so strongly about these developments speaks volumes.
"The US suffered a rare defeat at the hands of Argentina, 1-0, on Saturday in Miami, and face a trip to play Jamaica tomorrow night." -Chris Bergin, our favorite amerisnob, putting a nice twist of dignity in each brief. All media has some bias.

It seems ironic that the Metros fans complain about not having a left winger after they traded one to Dallas, who didn't really need one. According to the Morris County Daily Record, the attacking mid the Mutts want to bring in is 5'5". Don't they have Ritchie Williams? Forget about Freddy Adu. These guys will look like they have a U-12 central midfield.
It is obvious you have no clue what you are talking about. Does your problem go so deep that you think you know what you are talking about? Or do you just post to see how off target you can get?
Why don't you elaborate about what I posted that was off target, if you feel up to at least trying to be coherent.
