Match made in heaven. We can only hope. Funny. On a couple levels. Inter-Denver. That was total BS. Refs do suck all over. You weren't the only one. Maybe Mr Dure can tell us why. I wouldn't use black mail on Bruce Arena. Wouldn't Matt Mckeon fit in better with his old team the Rapids now that they've gone all black and blue and stuff?
Interesting that Ross Paule and Matt Mckeon are both fighting for spots in Dallas, a team that is pretty well busting it's seams with midfielders at the moment. By contrast last time I checked it seemed like Chicago had a real shortage of veteran players. Maybe that expansion idea isn't so farfetched. Sounds like Mathis isn't the only player who will have a fire lit under him all season. Hope both he and LD have stellar seasons, for their own sake if not for their teams.
"Also, new MLS partner UnderArmour dropped some huge coin to place an ad in the issue, rumored to add another $50 mil to the SI coffers." In my limited experience in media planning (a year and a half), there is no way, even with the huge distribution of the swimsuit issue, that any ad would even come close to this number.
Maybe that is the total revenue for the issue? That number seemed really high to me too, and the sentence isn't all that clear.
