MLS Throw Ins
Major League Soccer Talk —
Luke Wileman reports – Turf Removal Starts At BMO Field – New coach, new grass, different result for TFC in 2010? Late note: The CFL Argos are once again talking about playing at BMO. Uh Oh.
My take: Unfortunately, TFC does not own BMO Field, but wouldn’t it be terrible if they finally got grass only to have it marked up and chewed to bits by the Argos?
How did you feel about MLS Cup being played on turf?
My take: I thought it adversely effected the play. MLS Cup should ALWAYS be played on grass. What do you think?
Best of luck to Ben Olsen. ...

Jimmy Conrad's Latest
Down the Byline —
I've read basically all of Jimmy Conrad's ESPN/CNNSI articles over the years and have thoroughly enjoyed the humor that Conrad has brought. It's one of the things that's made him a favorite not just among Wizards fans, but fans around the league, they see him as a potential play-by-play guy after his playing career is over.

No Short Corners —
[image] Busy, busy, busy... #1 - New Philly forward Alejandro Moreno doesn't sound too happy about leaving Columbus. Meanwhile, The Always Sunny Gang (I will be pushing this nickname for them, by the way) also officially has a new keeper in Chris Seitz . #2 - K.C. Wizard and Nebraska Furniture Mart celebrity Jimmy Conrad has a detailed and intriguing plan to move MLS forward. What I love most about it is that many will think he's crazy. But really, he's not so much. #3 - New England defender Jay Heaps is set to retire . And Steve Nicol's woes increase. #4 - Fire Confidential ace Sam Stejskal seems ...
Open Source MLS
Sounder At Heart —
... Recently Jimmy Conrad wrote a piece at ESPN's Soccernet about his vision for MLS. He likens it to Linux, but honestly, his ideas are not in the mold of Linux. Sure, he's willing to respond and listen to feedback, but he is not necessarily advocating adopting an Open Source and/or Democratic model for MLS, just for his own "blog" at Soccernet. ...
