    Washington Post on Hudson

    Apparently John Trask will remain with the team. This is the top story in the Sports section of the Washington Post's website. There is also a "What do you think" page or something like that. Pretty cool to see this getting coverage without using Freddy Adu's name very much.

    There some discussion of this article on the Ray Hudson's Gone thread. That discussion starts here.

    The article by Wright is pretty subpar, to be nice. I thought the Times had Haydon doing the soccer stuff now?

    I do think Ray did a good job of turning this old beast around and pointing it in the right direction. If the new coach doesn't screw around too much with what we've got, he should have an easier time of it.

    Ken Wright reports..."United traded a major allocation to the last place Chicago Burn for the rights to Adu."

    I don't know who should be more offended:
    Chicago
    Dallas
    The knowing readers
    The ignorant readers

    Or maybe we should all have a good laugh instead and recognize this bit of ingenious humor by the Times.

    wash times: DOH!

    This from "America's Newspaper's" web site:

    To secure Adu's rights, United traded a major allocation to the last-place Chicago Burn for the top pick in next month's MLS Draft.

    Re: the Sun-Sentinal interview-Don't you wonder just which young DCU players Hudson was referring to when he said they could learn from Freddy Adu's great attitude? Quaranta for sure, but who else?
