I could not hear to clearly, but sometime either in the first half or during half time, their was a sky shot of the swamp which showed the arena and Giants Stadium. Mike Tireco then I believe mentioned that Giants stadiums lights were on because the Metrostars were playing an MLS game. I know the Metro's did not play an MLS game last night, but did they play an exhibition? Andy

I caught that too... They said that '... the MetroStars were playing a soccer game', I think (not MLS game). I immediatly flipped through all the shootout channels when they cut back to the Basketball, but then I figured it was an exhibition or practice or something. I think the post above and a thread on the Metrostars forum correctly identifies the event. Regardless, I was struck soon after with the thought: 'Hey, they mentioned the Metrostars and soccer in a way that wasn't a smear.' And what's more, I thought: 'And they didn't NEED to go into a futher explanation about how the Metros were the NY area's local professional soccer team. It's understood. That's actually a little respect, I feel." Then I thought: 'I'm gunna get me some chips and dip.' Kevin D.
