    he's been cast off by 3 MLS teams, probably doesn't bring much to the table other than speed.

    I happen to like Jason Moore, but I don't imagine that being released to make room for him is much of an endorsement.

    I've always viewed Winston Griffiths as sort of a faster version of Petter Villegas. In otherwords, some technical ability that occassionally entices but not particularly smart or complete play. Maybe fans of some of his other stops would offer other perspectives. But from what little I've seen and the comments I've heard, he doesn't "play well with others" (on the field).

    Besides, right now, I don't think our problem is coverage at left outside. Maybe later with possible USMNT call-ups. But I think our priority would be a D-mid or outside back. Adding Griffiths would probably mean cutting Alegria or Namoff (who, regardless of what you think of them as players), are playing key roles on defense b/c we're missing a bunch of bodies.

    The guy's been cut more times than Gerry Cooney. Walk away.

    And yes, I do realize I just gave away my age with a Gerry Cooney reference...

    Not at all, actually. They're profiling famous boxing matches on HBO these days and did what was actually a nice job of the Holmes/Cooney fight.

    You date yourself a lot more with some of your music references. :D

    I would think that if NE is sane and they think that Jason 'No' Moore is an improvement over Winston, then he's not worth the time/effort.

    I was happier the day that Moore was dealt than when Albright was dealt.

    Even worse, you date those of us who understand a Cooney reference.......

    Anyone cut to make room for Jason Moore... no thanks. Currently, I'm enamored of the DT idea of playing Namoff at left wing for several games to see if he can handle it.

    They're calling that a fight?

    I date older people with my music references...
