A nice story on brother Brad Feldman, a BigSoccer lurker And, for working alongside Juan 'He Put The Biscuit In The Basket' Meterparel, he's immediately granted sainthood. http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/263/sports/He_s_all_hustle+.shtml Murphy-isms here (Griffith-isms, and Marshall-isms, too) http://www.s-t.com/daily/09-02/09-20-02/c01sp113.htm
Actually, I liked how Greenidge said that Metro was only going to be missing "a key player," Howard to be exact. Wither Mathis? The Magpie
From Grant Wahl and CNN-SI: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/inside_game/grant_wahl/news/2002/09/19/wahl_mailbag/ "10 RANDOM THINGS 1. Bruce Arena Unplugged! Spoke on the phone Tuesday to Il Bruce, who had a few takes on the MLS season. For starters, when Taylor Twellman was at Maryland, Arena never thought he would have the impact he's having on MLS this season. "Definitely not," Arena says. "How that translates to whether he can play international soccer remains to be seen. But give him credit: He's the second-most valuable player in the league..." The Magpie
Brian Rolston certainly has the speed to make up for Ralston's absence (he scored another shorthanded goal last night, though they lost 7-2, hey it's pre-season).
I'm sure Sammy's good in soccer.... apparently many of the euros on the bruins like to have a kick around before their games.
Notes from the Front by Marcus Kwesi O'Mard hmmm... re: Twellman, per the Arena quote above, "second-most valuable player in the league." I wonder who's first in Bruce's eyes?
