    TJ Simers of the LA Times sounds like a bitter guy that got stood up for a date...
    "Oh yeah... well, I didn't want to go out with you anyway... doo doo brain."

    That's two days in a row of him taking pot-shots towards MLS and Beckham. What an ass.

    There's no such thing as bad publicity.

    “Seattle was to be able to create in Qwest Field a number of the advantages that we were able to achieve in soccer-specific stadiums,” MLS president Mark Abbott said. “Specifically, … when the public voted to help fund the stadium, soccer was very much included in the planning. Secondly, the team has a plan for downsizing the venue so that we can try to create an intimate atmosphere in that lower bowl. … I think we had a unique opportunity in Seattle that doesn’t present itself in other markets that we’re in.”

    “Clearly, the plan in many markets has been to move away from the NFL stadiums and to the soccer-specific stadiums,” Abbott said. “But we saw in Seattle frankly a unique situation where we are able to make it work in Qwest Field, and the great thing is the reaction of the fans who bought all of these season tickets a year and a half before the team begins playing. I think that’s a tremendous embrace by the community of this approach.”

    Maybe he got quite a few clicks and email replies on his first article and figured, "Hey, this soccer bashing thing works! Maybe I'll try another one tomorrow."

    Yes, but the new Qwest Field Turf will have built-in dry patches, puddles and wear marks in front of both goals. Players will also be required to splash mud on their jerseys by the 30 minute mark. Mud 'jugs' will be made available for splashing, on both benches. Further, the natural scent of freshly cut grass will be pumped in through the Qwest air system. This is due to the fact FT couldn't fully perfect their 'scratch and sniff' technology. We strive for authenticity around these parts. :D

    :D

    Which is not to say Seattle wasn't also a very viable, even 'important' market, like, um, Philly is.

    The tooth!

    (And is it just me or is that Jeri Ryan over his shoulder? If so, damn that's a lot of sci-fi typecasting.)

    Good try... but no.

    You probably got it from imdb.com, where it references the cartoon "Nothing But The Tooth", starting Porky Pig, as a connection(via Humprey Bogard) to the movie "The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre".

    The $350K interview with Becks that this guy mentioned was actually the winning bid for a charity auction. The winner (Hayek) got a soccer lesson with Becks, but this guy twisted the words. Journalism :rolleyes:
