    Just when the whole issue had died down, here we go again.

    Just wondering - On the Nat board, Twellman is crap and Altidore is God. Have there been any offers of the future of American soccer ... e.g., God? One would think if Jose is really all that ... the Euros would come knocking with their inflated money in hand. Since they're offering 3.5 Mil for crap, how much is God worth? :rolleyes:

    This news is the same old news as last week, Frank just being a little behind the times. Not sure why it is being printed now. Would rather a story on current Revs news, you know, like the ones we get from Goff.

    Because the Patriots are in the Super Bowl! Perfect season! Showdown with a Manning! 19-0! 4 Super Bowls in 7 years! Brady's foot! We're live outside the bathroom where Junior Seau's dropping a deuce!

    and I say that as a lifelong Pats fan....

    everyone knows that the best way to get up to date Revs news is to read the blogs of our two biggest rivals


    Frank is in Arizona by the way, who are the Revs?

    Based on that article, it seems a very real possibility that the Revs could lose Twellman on a Free after this season (only two years with two years worth of options on the contract)...this is especially true if they mess around with him like they did Noonan

    He is where his editor wants him to be.

    Is there anyone covering the opening of camp?

    If Frank is in Arizona, then no. Unless Biglin does it and I haven't seen his byline lately. So no camp coverage from our end.

    Oh now that might really blow Twellman's top - the Revs end up wanting to pick up his option years - that's what they did with Avery John which kept him from moving, right?

    But there is no way, after this Noonan fiasco, that the Revs not pick up Twellman's option - at least with a plan for one year, and then maybe try to sell him prior to the end of the 2nd year.

    But with the Revs FO, who the hell knows. There is no way to guess what they are thinking or might do.

    Biglin and I were there yesterday.

    There will be an article or two up on MLSnet later today.

    Here are a couple of tidbits to tide you over until that gets posted:

    - No foreign trialists in camp as of yet, mostly because the team's focusing on fitness work
    - Khano's out with an injury (adductor)
    - Gambians are stuck in Gambia with visa issues

    I met his mom on the 5:45 am shuttle from our hotel in D.C. to the airport after the final. Very nice lady, but she did have some choice words about Nicol :D . She came all the way to see the final even tho she knew her son wouldn't play, she's alright in my book.

    So if I've done my math correctly, we have 15 players in camp right now. That's not even a game-day roster....

    But don't worry, we have plenty of time before the season starts. It's not like people will use chemistry as an explanation for not adding players later. Oh wait, they will.

    Can we start the drinking game now. Reading these threads is forcing me to become an alcoholic.

    You know, the Riders drinking game really does need to be updated.

    ie ... "Any time you head McBride's good in the air" ... drink. :D
