    This thread was developed from all the bookmarks I have for the Daily News thread in the MLS News & Analysis forum. I began compiling all of my bookmarks, so that I could do the Daily News from anywhere (instead of relying on my bookmarks to supplement google searches). Originally, this thread was started in my personal forum (a copy is still there). It slowly developed into it's current form.

    If you know of anything else, have any suggestions or comments... please post here

    I hope that people might find this thread useful.

    Thanks
