From the Washington Times: Hamm ignites Freedom victory By Ken Wright THE WASHINGTON TIMES C'mon..get that SDUT article up so I can go back to watching "Black Hawk Down".
quote from Times article Someone explain this one for me: "I think for a little while I was still recovering from that 90 minutes [against Philadelphia on July[ThSp]14]," Hamm said. "I was overzealous [then]. The problem with this injury (she'll need offseason knee surgery) is that it's a constant education about what I can do. I felt better out there, and my mindset was better. I don't know where my mind was in the last game." Knee surgery again? Did the guy writing this article flub? Surely she doesn't need surgery again when she just freakin had it...
From the San Diego Union Tribune: Spirit shut out of WUSA playoffs again, coach presumes By Cynthia Hobgood SPECIAL TO THE UNION-TRIBUNE July 28, 2002
Re: quote from Times article One thing about the Washington Times that I learned last night is that sometimes they tend to butcher and/or cobble together quotes. That Hamm one you have up is one example as is one of the Abby ones they have in there: Word for word this is not what Abby said at the press conference.
Re: Re: quote from Times article What confused me was the surgery thing. Surely the guy knows she had surgery last season and is currently recovering, not anticipating a future recovery.
Re: quote from Times article What!! If this was the case we would have heard it from a couple different places already. I think I'm gonna e-mail this guy... clear things up.
Re: Re: quote from Times article lol, I don't really think there's anything to clear up. I think he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Basically, just get your DC soccer news from the Post. Check out the DC United forum for a thread on how the Times constantly tries to spin everything conceivable against United. Not that United needs any help doing that nowadays, but there was a particularly pathetic attempt to put words into Ray Hudson's mouth in today's paper. There's a reason I just rely on the Post...

Jen Grubb's sliding save off the line made ESPN Sportscenter's "Plays of the Week" yay! WAR JEN WAR FREEDOM
Wow! They showed WUSA on Sportscenter! Amazing! I think the Sportscenter story on the men's WC final was about 30 seconds long. Wouldn't want to cut into that 20 minutes of exciting golf coverage...
