http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/writers/grant_wahl/10/22/mls.playoffs/index.html This is an article he wrote right before the MLS Playoffs. He got every prediction right except for NE-Columbus and even threw this little prediction in there...
What?? Although you could argue that SportsIllustrated and the Washington Post are national publications, the 'beat' (or scale) as it were for the writers is different. If Goff and company can't find out the fine details about DC United in their own backyard, then something is wrong. But, I give you the benefit of the doubt. Though, unless I'm forgetting something, I don't recall the WP sending anyone over to Ghana to try and confirm the birth records of Freddy Adu. I do remember Wahl stating that SI had done so. Whatever...
I'm glad it was a mistake. It's not often that I hear anyone around here slag off on Wahl. The guy is class.
You know people are going to take that to heart, Skip. I'm a little bit out of it after the game and a surprisingly rough (even for my standards) indoor match tonight.
Ha! I wish I had had a game tonight. Would have loved to have worked off some of this excitement. LA is a mess of a city but I feel sorry for the residents having to read Master Jones in the paper.
Isn't that like confusing the Anti-Christ with Landon Donovan, err....wait...maybe LD and the Anti-Christ are the same?
