Wondering when / IF he will be back...

 

The article says 2 months.

 

I really feel for the guy -- his knee literally exploded on contact with Hamid. I remember that game and how surprised I was that he got back up and thought he could still play. That meniscus issue is long term bad. A meniscus is very hard to repair because of poor blood flow to the tissue. The only time repair is even tried is with young people and athletes. I'm an old far and when I tore mine -- good for me it was tearing a piece of paper -- the torn part was simply cut away. The meniscus is the cushion in your knee, when that goes, your going for knee replacement surgery.

And guess who happens to be in the market for a sponsor next season.

 

[cough] a Guinness logo would look great on, oh I dunno, a black shirt [cough]

 

I bet they were thinking the same last October.

 

I don't get your point.
I'm just relaying info.

 

From how he says it, he's still very unsure about timing, and certainly gives the impression he thought it would heve been easier. Maybe he didn't think that for an injury incurred in September he still wouldn't see the pitch in the following June.

 

Budweiser is losing market share to craft breweries. Let's hear it for a conglomeration of local breweries who brew the real thing.

 

If there is any doubt as to who would be picked if it came down to this choice, I only have to mention 3 letters, F L O.

 

I can live with a defense contractor as a sponsor, although I've always questioned what the level of value DCU sponsorship returned them. Don't give an F for Advocare or Herbalife and could care less which piss water beer sponsor they might pick up. The alcohol options have been decent if not pricey. I really just hope its not a Gulf airline. Holding out for Amazon, Rakuten or someone who will really misuse my personal data for marketing efforts.

 

I can't remember if buy.com had been bought by the Japanese company when all of my information was stolen. ******** Rakuten.

 

I understand it's the MD division of a Japanese company owned by Canadian investors that is becoming the sponsor.

 

******** Canada.

 

I was just on a Caribbean cruise. While onboard, the crappy beer cost $6.25 each. The real beer, including Florida microbrews, cost $6.50 each. I told some guy standing next to me in line that for another 25-cents, we can buy real beer. He said nothing.

In fairness to Bud, they have been putting out some limited edition brews for which they actually advertise using words like "hops", "malt", and "hints of caramel" instead of "carbs", "calories", and "but with all the flavor" . . .

 

May already be posted somewhere, but I saw these indicators of DC United near the Wharf DC area.

In one way, it makes sense as it is in the same quadrant of the city and along Maine Avenue where a lot of traffic goes by in the general direction of the stadium. On the other hand, if I did not already know that Audi Field was a stadium that recently opened, I might think that the Phase II of the SW waterfront was related to this.

The exterior art at the pub is about the only item where if you did not already know the team, you might get the idea that DC United was a professional soccer team. Otherwise, you might think Unite DC is some social program (in my opinion).

 

I just now remembered that I may have a few of those tarps that were on fences around the stadium construction site in my garage.

Thx,

Jay!

 

I'm pretty sure thats in response to the an article in the Sun saying he was interviewed and was done after his contract, bc the wife was leaning on him to raise the kids back home.

And goddam, I am embarrassed for DCU having our gear worn in that shit ass commercial.

Thx,

There's an increasing amount of noise suggesting Rooney is on his way out. His contract has a team option for next year, correct? Man, if this season continues on it's downward trajectory and he asks the team to let him go I'm going to have to seriously consider my season tickets. What a dumpster fire.

Rooney is the guy who spends his last months on the job obtaining certificates/continuing education and then puts his two week notice in once he is more marketable to other companies.

Post has sources close to the team now saying they've been in negotiations with Derby County. Could leave at the end of this year or next season (this year sounds more likely). He wants to stay but the move is being driven by family concerns. Also Kamara is his replacement so ha to all of us that thought the team was making a proactive move to improve.
