    He's criticized MLS in interviews, over blocking his move to Everton for one, and also has been quite vocal against Bruce, who's a MLS darling. He's also the one mouthing off about the 'divide' between MLS players and the ones in Europe.

    I think he may have done just enough to close that door for good.

    hmm I never knew he had interest from Everton. Kinda wonder how he might have done there.

    Bobby ABSOLUTELY missed his calling. Could be one of the best standups working today.

    Very self deprecating guy, broke his 'People's Sexiest Men' face in Turkey. Very open and honest too -- says he didn't really give a crap about his "career" while playing, despite playing well and becoming an international. Still partied and drank a bunch. A good glimpse into the bad old days too...I think he said his first salary was $12,500. He has some very definite regrets but seems very level headed and good natured about it all, especially with Geoff still playing and making bank in England (don't think Bobby made a ton while playing)

    Cameron did not make today's squad due to suspension, because he earned a red card in QPR's previous match on March 7.

    And once again Tim Ream is the only Yank in the Ch'ship playing in a Top 6 club, my somewhat arbitrary cutoff point for "Championship teams better than the best of MLS."

    QPR fell 2-1 today.
    Cameron went the distance.

    Been a long 8 years in England. I wonder if he's looked upon favorably at Stoke.

    Cameron would last about 30 seconds as an announcer

    Lack of tact when it comes to subjects that get you fired if you lack tact. I don’t know how to elaborate without violating the ant-politics rules here.

    My thought was "he'd shove his foot so far into his mouth that it would come out of his ass," but your post is probably more tactful. :p

    Try not making political comments in the first place. But it’s Funny though how you agree that simply lacking tact Is enough to get someone fired these days. Shows how insane our collective society has become.

    You are projecting. I was careful not to express a view about politics in this exchange. I was responding to a request for reasons behind my belief that Cameron wouldn’t last as an announcer. And for the record, I referred not to his mere lack of tact, but rather to lack of tact about subjects that can get you fired.

    FWIW he keeps getting ranked middle of the pack by the Loft fans after each game, which is sort of accurate.
