    By popular demand, I offer a new Twellman poem. This is a sequel to last year's memorable epic, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Taylor Twellman":

    You're the Tool Man
    Taylor Twellman
    With those tools
    You do real well, man.
    The Burn preferred to draft Chris Gbondi,
    and now regret it every Gsunday.


    Allright, the last two lines aren't great, but do you have anything better to offer?

    Speaking of Gbondi, I wonder if Dallas still thinks they made the right choice??? (HUGE SMILE)

    why are we calling him the tool man. Burn fans called him a tool, which isnt a good term in itself, its actually pretty rude. If this name catches on, a lot of people will be laughing at us. stick to TnT and a new one i made up, the TJ Max connection.

    I am the guy who coined the phrase, Taylor"the Tool" Twellman. Even though it is somewhat crude, it is highly effective. I am a big enough person to admit, the guy is a good player and deserves credit when it is warranted. His goal was wonderfully placed. He took the Burn to the tool shed and gave us a whopping we won't soon forget. I can't wait for a rematch against, "The Tool." Anyway, this league needs some passion and if name calling is a way to do it, then I will oblige, especially with the metrobras and D.C. United.

    Yes Sir I do when I use my Retrospectoscope :)
    (As a Physician who practiced medicine for 40 years this was one of my most valuable learning tools)

    Please note that my comment was aimed more at the quirks of predicting who will or will not make it at the senior level from their play in college and as a youth international. Many things happen to a player and there are many #1 picks who never become impact players. Jason Moore and Jay Heaps are two good examples.

    I hope Chris is able to regain his form and realize his promise,

    I don't believe "The Tool Man" is a pejorative term. I think it reflects TnT's various abilities -- i.e., he's got all the tools for the job.

    As for the "TJ Max connection," I suppose it's better than "Hit or Miss."

    Sgt Schultz, for a man who "knows noooth-iiink" you sure seem wick-id smaht.

    This "tool" thing could be co-opted, but in some ways, this is kinda like the Mutts having a dog as a mascot. I dunno if they still have that, but it made me laugh that the front office was so out of touch that they didn't know that rival fans call them Mutts as a derogatory name. What's next, the Village People playing a post-game concert at Crew Stadium?

    JohnnyRev, was this supposed to rhyme with the Grinch? I once tried to work something into that regarding Meola and not wanting to touch him with a 37-and-a-half foot pole, but I couldn't quite get it right...

    Less than one game into his career might be a LITTLE early to start crowing...
