Didn't see the following posted in yesterday's clips, but well, well worth the read: A View from the Fort: Wise Words From the New Man An Interview with PAUL MARINER. By Jim Dow, February 18, 2004 http://revsnet.matchnight.com/rnindex.cfm?page=ARTICLE&show=204
Interesting to note that when talking about the current team, the four players he mentioned by name were the back 4: Sounds like they aren't planning any changes there.
While I would never accuse Mariner of soft-shoeing at this early stage, it would be a bit surprising for him to step in and say, "Blimey we need a better back line!" Not saying that this is necessarily his true inclination, but it's just a bit early to tell.
Just up... Practice Update: February 18th http://revsnet.matchnight.com/rnindex.cfm?page=ARTICLE&show=206
Nice report. This little iota will certainly open the eyes of those Chicago, LA, and DC fans who tell scary stories about Joey Franchino to their children at night: Oh the horror! The HORROR!
"Head Coach Steve Nicol refused to get specific yesterday about the team's interest in Honduran defender Jorge Samuel Caballero, saying only that he was aware that Caballero was looking for a new team, but that he had suffered a "nasty" knee injury while playing in Italy. You can assume that the Revs will have that knee checked out before they even try to sign him." The Man on the Horse gallops by yet again...
The part about this report that grabbed me was that Dempsey's teammates were impressed with his foot skills. Still no news about Jerry White, though.
Nice article. If you want a constructive criticism, the last five paragraphs all started with the same word, or name.
Thanks. That is a good point, now that I like at some of my other articles I think I do that way too much. My host is down, if anyone else wanted to see the article here's an link to it at a different host. http://www.angelfire.com/ma2/nerevs/bios/moore.html
Sean, will you be doing articles on the rest of the team? It's great getting the players' perspectives on various topics and reading their personal anecdotes. Great job.
Thanks. I will continue to do it on the whole team. I try to interview at least one player at every practice I go to. Next weekend I'll have one up on Marshall Leonard. I've already done Brian Kamler, Wolde Harris and Shalrie Joseph.
