    A few interesting rev-related things.

    He thinks a healthy Twellman will win the scoring race.

    "...there’s no question about who I think will lead the league in scoring this year. Should he stay injury free, I’ll take Taylor Twellman. Not only is he starting to enter the prime of his career at 24 years old, and has the best collection of talent around him of his career, but he now has a mentor in assistant coach Paul Mariner, who knows a little something about scoring goals."

    He is surprised that Twellman is not listed in the National team Media Guide as in the player pool (out of 66 names).

    He thinks Rob Ukrop may be the first former MLSer to own a team (wild speculation based on the success of Rob's family's grocery stores).

    And maybe most interesting, he asked John Harkes who he would pay money to see.

    "...one of the first players he named when I asked him who he’d pay to see was New England center midfielder Shalrie Joseph"

    A rookie Taylor Twellman and an only occasionally healthy Taylor Twellman did pretty well the last two seasons, so I would be less than shocked if he does it again, assuming only that he gets enough games.
