Excellent segment with Robert Caro in which he deconstructed the life of Charlie Stillitano and gave us valuable insight on what motivated Charlie during his mad attempt to ruin club soccer in New York. Classic bit where he refers to Stillitano as the Edsel of US soccer GM's.

God bless him for creating the worst team in the world.
God bless him for being a huge reason why no one comes out to see the Metros anymore.
God bless him indeed.

Has anyone called MSG to confirm? (Alternatively, can anyone produce similarly authoritative sources?) Thanks in advance for the heads up...

P.S. Damn, NJPsycho: Great minds think alike. Near identical posts in time and substance!

Mentioned on the Knicks/Spurs preseason game yesterday.

No, by far the best Caro segement was when he explained how we can trace Nick's stadium headaches to Robert Moses:

There will be no soccer stadium built in New York City or Long Island-ever!

RealRay, this has to be one of my all-time-favorite posts... Too clever!

I'm just trying to decide which channel to set my VCR for, and I think it will be with MSG. Now I have to cross my fingers that Cablevision won't somehow - doh, don't even want to think it - and who cares?! - I'll be there.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT - If you can, tape the FSW feed and not MSG!!!

"The game will be televised live on Fox Sports World, with a simultaneous feed on MSG Network. If Game 6 of the Yankees-Red Sox series, which begins at 4 p.m., runs long, MSG's postgame coverage will cut into the beginning of the Open Cup broadcast. Fox Sports World, however, will air the Cup final from the beginning."
