Word is that Red Bulls have requested transfer fees for players coming into the league. I heard that rumor when Steven Ireland was discussed - that if it was low enough and for a player who would raise the profile of the league in a good way, MLS would cover at least part of the fee.

Ives has mentioned that he is, in fact, quite angry about the move.

If I recall correctly from Jozy's transfer, it's about 50% that they get as allocation money.

I may or may not have some pent up anger about growing up there...

The worst part about the Falcons is that absolutely nobody will write in hate mail, because there's nobody who cares about this team that doesn't know all of these things are true.

Sounds a lot like Byron Leftwich.

Also 6'3" and you should definitely go for 6'2". Tall enough without reaching the 'gangly' stage. Professional athletes look awesome, but they are the 1% who are that tall and actually coordinated.

As a native Atlantan, I have to object furiously to the idea that the Braves did anything relevant prior to September.

I want to see him in the Premier League so badly I don't care who gets him.

I do think, though, that the English money teams look like they're holding back in anticipation of Financial Fair Play rules. Chelsea confirmed that they didn't even bid for Cavani, and you have to imagine that he or Falcao would have entertained playing at City or United if they got the same bids.

Also, some people live in NYC and a grill is not an option unless you want to get evicted.

List is incomplete without Southpaw Light. Tastes like the foot of a hooker from Athens, GA.

You can say the same about Indians or Braves but it's hard to argue against the fact that Redskin is pretty uniquely pejorative.

the 33-year-old Lecavalier had seven years remaining on his deal

No contest. Amazing film, even if it is a remake.

What's the protocol for drinking during the National Anthem? I have my hat off, over my heart, but if I have a full, frosty cool Bud Light do I have to refrain until the song is over?

The really shocking thing about all of this is that by firing those 2 guys, Chivas reduced their home attendance average by 30%.

I really should leave off, but I also think that it's incredible that Beckham has basically been chased out of every job he's had. At United, he was kicked out by Fergie after he started dating Posh, for England he was a scapegoat and either misused or left out entirely by everyone except for Sven, at Real he was…

I think that's as tough a question as asking "is Derek Jeter well regarded in America"?

Agreed - from my work it's 20 minutes to Harrison and an hour to Flushing. But while I've been able to get people I work with to go to a Mets game, I can't even provide free tickets to get them to come to RBA.
