I've seen Frankie out at nightspots around Columbus. He may be a family guy but he still goes out. He always seems pretty chill though, I've never seen the type of behavior that would qualify one as a "party animal."
I posted a similar thread on this topic last year. I think the consensus is that professional soccer players can't afford to do a lot of in-season partying. Smart managers probably use the the examples of Jamar Beasley and Buddle to show rookies what can happen to talented young players if they don't treat their bodies well and keep their minds clear. Guys like Hejduk and Cobi kind of undermine that line of thinking but hey... Offseason, I'd bet that many younger players and a few wilder vets get reacquainted with their favorite clubs/bars or just as likely, fire up the bong once in a while. As the league intensifies and the stakes raise though, I think we're seeing players leading more disciplined lifestyles year-round. If I had to guess as to which MLS guys past & present like to burn trees, I'd say: Hejduk Cobi Mastro Beckerman Albright Olsen Clint Dempsey (confirmed blazer; I bet he can roll a mean Dutch too) Gaven Noonan Eddie Pope (only Snoop is more laid-back than that guy) Waterreus (duh, he IS a Dutch Master) Clint M. (hence the Doritos fetish) Valderrama Alexi Lalas
I doubt he smoked weed. He probably drank paint thinner, moonlighted as a scrub boxer, broke cinder blocks w/ his face, and invested heavily in lotto tickets.
all i know is, there were some definitely strong hints in that direction on his or his brother's myspace a while ago. if you have better info than I do, great.
werent these dudes accused of rape or sexual assault or something way back? I might be wrong. As to partiers, two words: Frankie Hej-dude
this is a hot story. whats your source, are you the dealer? if we play our cards right i think we can land you a book deal, any preference on who you want as a ghostwriter, or dont you care?
is that your attempt at being witty? please stop...it doesn't suit you. this whole thread is conjecture, nobody's taking it serious except you.
jesus, what are they teaching in middle schools these days? listen dude, get some class learn how to constructively contribute or f*ck off...
you're going to talk to me about class, ha. use your brain and dissect the situation. your primitive Brooklyn brain recognized an obvious joke as being too serious? c'mon bud, your better than that
