    used to; she hasn't done anything there this past season; I did see something by her someplace else, but I don't remember where; I'm pretty sure she's not with the times any more

    See Billy now, what you need to have happen is that you need to hook up with this girl. Get married and you gusy can merge the Firealarm and chicagosoccernews.com together.

    i had no idea... i haven't been looking for articles the past year or so... so i hadn't taken note (merely assumed no one looked there anymore)

    as i recall, she pretty much only did it for home games anyways

    she did cover some for the times this year, but they were limiting the amount of space that they alloted for the Fire. Also, she filled in for Kent McDill a couple of times for the Herald.

    Looks like they want to do what Matchnight.com does.

    it appears they do more with the women's side of the ball... but perhaps they are branching out with the two other ventures (chicago and nyc)... either way... it looks good

    i have known of the bigapple site... they have michael lewis (formerly of sports illustrated and i belive still with a new york city newspaper... can't recall which one though)... but the chicago one is new to me

    both appear to hit the college game heavily... the chicago one didn't have any us national team stuff (or i missed it)... but i'd imagine that will change with time

    again... good stuff

    Agreed. the Linda Cuttone/Sportsvue photo credit is a giveaway. Linda's husband Charlie has edited a variety of soccer and sports magazines over the years and they have been moving into web design over the last couple.

    BigAppleSoccer is a Michael Lewis vehicle backed by Sports Vue.

    Looks like Sports Vue is trying to franchise a local/national idea.

    That's a great site but it'd be nice if they used the Fire's actual logo :p

    I had the same thought, but if you click on the 'incorrect' logo, they have the right one displayed on the page. Kind of wierd.

    I can do that later this weekend. Thanks.
    Let me know if more should be put on there.

    edit: forum page has been added to http://www.geocities.com/mlslinks/chicagofire.html
    Is the Merchandise page temporarily down or under construction?
    It is unavailable to me.

    That won't be the final merch page but we may have some 2005 scarves, jackets, and hat info soon.

    One question in terms of the original topic. Does Northern Illinois not get any pub?
    They have both men's and women's in the MAC, correct?
