    Their punishment will be to watch a highlight film of every missed scoring opportunity this season. Special multi-angle sequences of PKs will be an integral part of the sanctions.

    thank you go_united_go. It looks as though he m(the ref) will be back next year. I would hope that if he does come back that he is not assigned to any dc and kc games because he would have reason and opportunity to get revenge. solrac

    Like that would make him any worse than he already is?? Hell, it might make him so angry and confused he might actually call a decent game.

    I still don't get it entirely. Does this mean that we traded Chris Albright at the beginning of the season for Henry Zambrano for the last few games?

    No, we got a first round draft pick in 2002 (Daouda Kante whom we gifted to the New England Revolution) and a conditional draft pick in 2003 (which looks to have been LA's first round pick!!!) and it is the latter that we gave back to LA for the rights to claim Zambrano for a half a dozen games.

    STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPID move to give that draft pick up for Zambrano.

    Good move to trade Albright and his high salary to LA for one first rounder and a conditional that turned out to be a second first rounder. But then again, poor drafting and poor trading undid all the gain from the Albright trade, so all we got out of it was cap relief which we did not use. Albright would have been leaps and bounds better than anyone we played on the right all season until Olsen came back.
