Elvis... Pele... Cher... Madonna... Ronaldo... Johnny? Seriously, did Commish Garber have a brain-burp and forget Johnny Moore's last name last night? Or is our "Wee Man" so big now that he can go by a single name?
Ditto. That was totally pathetic....... "And now the Quakes General Manager, .....!!!!Johnny.....?????!!!!!" Garber thinking....."Johnny, Johnny, Johnny what???" Or something like that.
With apologies to Julie Brown... "...I did it for Johnny Johnny? Well like who's Johnny?.... Does anybody here know Johnny? Are you Johnny? There was one guy named Johnny but he was a total geek, he always had food in his braces...." Doug.
Suggestion to powers that be: Next year, when once again we win a dramatic match to clinch the MLS Cup or whatever... and when they bring out the presentation podium for the team and the glitterati... Why not have it set up in a circular stage format, or like a boxing ring, so the presenter and the speakers can address the whole crowd? To be perfectly honest, it was a little weird for us fans over in the East stands watching everyone's back as they spoke.
Actually, the North End (Casbah) were the loudest. And there were a whole lot less of them than there were of you.
That was pretty irritating that Garber didn't seem to know Johnny's name when he presented the trophy. It didn't come off well, anyway, whatever the intent. So, here's my proposal.As Bajaro mentioned, when we win our way into MLS Cup again next season and the Commish steps up on the grandstand to present the trophy, what say we make it worth John Shrader's while to introduce him like this... "Now, it's time for the presentation of the trophy to your Western Conference Champion San Jose Earthquakes. To do the honors, the Commissioner of MLS........DON!"
Next year we will have a circular revolving stage a la the Busby Berkeley movie musicals of the 1930s.
It took them long enough to haul out and assemble three pieces of non-moving stage -- gawd knows how long we'd be waiting for them to figure out something mechanical...
And the Busby Berkeley stage will be surrounded by 50 water fountains and 200 dancing chorus girls, with 300 cheerleaders around them.
I watched the Rev-Fire game Friday afternoon thanks to Fox Sports Espagnol. Right after the win, the Fire players tore off their jerseys and put on celebratory Eastern conference winner tee shirts. I was wondering if the Quakes would do that also on Sat night.
