Well you can guess the topics: Freddy, MLS expansion, GK situation for qualifiers, Freddy... http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=4312
OK, from the same Rob Stone Chat: "this just in from my home office, Adu on Letterman Wednesday..Kimmel maybe next week" http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=4312 I don't know if he was serious but if he was, WOW! When I read the chat, I knew I wanted to post this news. But where? There are a million Adu threads and I did not want to start another one. Maybe we need an "Official Adu Thread" for all news pertaining to the "One."
RE: Chivas Some other pretty good stuff in there. Andy (Louisville): There has been alot of speculation about the proposed Chivas expansion team in San Diego or Houston, and some rumors that Vergara wants MLS to bend its foreign player limitations? If Chivas joins the MLS fold, do you think they would/should do as Vergara wants? Rob Stone: (6:13 PM ET ) This sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen...Lawyer "Now let me get this straight. It is a team in America, that doesn't allow American's to play for it? Do I have that right? Sir/Madam, you've got a case." Vergara is trying to get around it by holding open tryouts for Americans with Mexican descent..clever. Trust me, this is a thorny issue inside league HQ's.
RE: expansion I didn't know he had gone on record saying that expansion would be '04? Where has he done that?
here's the best thing from that chat: The US under 17 team (with Adu) will be playing Brazil on espn2 Sunday December 7 at 4pm eastern (tape delay-game is at 1pm in Bradenton, Fl for those who want to go)
Re:Chivas And what happens in 5 years when Chivas US is MLS' answer to the LA CLippers? Does the guy fold?
"...as the league's [TV] numbers have jumped signigicantly in several key categories." I wonder what numbers? Maybe the missing 9% of males 18-34 for prime time network TV this season have turned up on the Deuce for Soccer Saturday.
From the top of the transcript... Rob Stone: Hi everybody, and thanks for taking the time to e-mail me your questions. I have a sneaky suspicion i know what today's first question/answer subject will be. And it gets even better from there. Great stuff from Stoner...
Re: Re: Rob Stone: Chat wrap An official Adu thread would be too long. We need an official Adu forum.
I thought it was cool to see my question answered in the chat was cool, but now people are quoting THAT on the bigsoccer boards, so I feel like a celebrity. Ha. Anyway, sorry. I liked Rob Stone to begin with, but I gained even more respect for him after the chat today. Not only did he stay for an extra half hour to fill out responses, but he didn't hide from the tough questions, gave his own network some heat, and gave very thorough answers. Classy stuff.

I bet Freddy does some of that sick stuff from the Nike commercials on Letterman. I'm so happy he's gonna play for MLS.
