    Seriously, don't be afraid to come and pimp your blogs. What would be even better is if you do more than just commentary, and bring us original features and interviews with people surrounding the Wizards. They could be players, staff, people surrounding the Bannister Mall or Olathe project, or anyone else that becomes relevant to your audience, Wizards fans. I'd bet email and phone interview requests would be welcomed, and there's no better way to attract viewers than with exclusive content.

    Of course this is easy to say, considering it's not my blog or time. I will promise to read though! :D

    If you haven't seen the RSLFM report, or 3rd Degree, I think they're the best team specific fan blogs/sites I've seen.

    The large majority of athletes who suck at 21 suck the rest of there careers. And Eddie will suck for the rest of his which is why he does not deserve another chance with KC.

    Nicole and I are so totally already all over that.

    I just hope that new FO one doesn't impede our ability to do so.

    Can you post Chinese text to a page encoded as ISO-8859-1?

    I'm not sure how Boca expects to expand into the Chinese market, unless it's selling TV rights to Libertadores games.

    EJ lost his mojo, he needs something to snap him out of this funk.

    Maybe sending him to Boca on loan for a few months would help both him and KC?

    i would expect boca to want an option to buy, if he went on loan. if kc doesn't want to sell him, i dont see boca getting that option, and if they're trying to develop their brand beyond south america, what good does it do to sign a struggling forward for a few months?

    I know I am one to advocate giving EJ another chance this year, but excluding my bias in that reguard I think that this Boca situation has a very low probability of happening. OnGoal has made a very strenuous effort to keep EJ and KC and it wouldn't make any sense to let him go just a few weeks before our first game. That's really all there is to it.

    I think this is exactly the reason why this deal won't get any further than the rumor stage... the timing is all wrong. Perhaps in the off season OnGoal would have considered it as a way of truly shaping the team themselves (and that's not even probable in my opinion), but so close to the season, it'd be rather reckless to cause such a huge disturbance in the locker room.

    Besides, doesn't it seem like the deals that get rumored around MLS are the ones that either don't happen or take a long long time in doing so? Consider rumors of Beckham to NY (anyone remember him on "Good Morning America"?) vs. the utter silence about Mathis to NY. If a deal is really worth making, smart front offices will never let it leak for fear of media bias ruining the deal. If a deal is most valuable in the PR sense, leaking it can be advantageous simply to get the conversation going without having to take action. How many MLS fans have talked about Boca Juniors this much lately?

    Right, but there are plenty of instances of MLS teams dealing one man to simply turn around and have another waiting in the wings. Between the Argentina trip and the Atlas partnership, there is plenty of opportunity for a deal to be made. Of course, that's all speculation and if EJ stays and scores more than 15 goals I'll be out buying his jersey. :D
