MLS’ worst contract

By: Robert | Comments 5 Comments

I made a momentary mention about a week ago that the best contract in MLS belonged to Houston’s Dewayne DeRosario ($324,999.96 guaranteed – quite honestly I’m shocked that those clowns could pull that off.) Well its only right (and the next logical step) that I turn around and discuss MLS’ worst, especially since it involves [...]

Amy Acker’s “people” don’t read

By: Robert | Comments No Comments

Well, that did not get off to a good start; yesterday you remember I sent off the first of our emails in search for a celebrity fan. I couldn’t find direct contact information with anyone and I didn’t feel like paying $4.99 a month or $29 per year for access to celebrity addresses (I know [...]

Free Kicks

By: Robert | Comments No Comments

Short post today, real life is interceding.
1. Ricardinho apparently appeared at the Londoner to watch the second half of the FC Dallas game versus Colorado. He supposedly sat around, watched us take the lead, signed some autographs and cheered with the fans. He hasn’t even a played a minute for the team and yet he’s [...]

Hoops Hotties

By: Robert | Comments 1 Comment

I’ll be honest, this is not what I had in mind when I pitched the idea of ‘Hoops Hotties’ a couple weeks ago, but this cannot be overlooked any longer. I found this picture searching the FC Dallas interwebs (I’ve been sitting on it so long I’ve long since forgotten where exactly) but this is [...]

Making fun of Houston Dynamo fans.

By: Robert | Comments No Comments

I know someone’s probably thinking “Why are you picking on the Dynamo? They don’t have a blogger to defend themselves.” Well allow me to preemptively respond to that criticism; Dreamsicle fans can’t read or write, so they can’t see what I am saying and even if they could they wouldn’t be able to respond, so [...]

Give Carlos Ruiz $20,000 and a Vegas penthouse suite, he needs to score.

By: Robert | Comments No Comments

I know it may seem odd to post a “preview” (I hate posting true previews because they’re outdated in about 48 hours, maybe I should be like Laurie and just post the game guide) before I “review” the previous game. But I’ve grown tired of having posts in the bank and not putting them up [...]

Everything is bigger in Texas

By: Robert | Comments No Comments

I know its hard to imagine a must win game at this point of the season but if you look at the western conference table you’ll see that while Dallas sits 3 points ahead, Houston has 2 games in hand, which means the lead is a perilous one. With respect to Tom Clancy an FC [...]

Team USA chose who?

By: Robert | Comments No Comments

That’s pretty much what I thought when I heard Drew Moor was chosen to play in the Copa America tournament. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great honor, I just didn’t think of Drew Moor (or any member of the FC Dallas defense for that matter) as national team quality (I know Chris Gbandi plays [...]

Do not trade Carlos Ruiz for Landon Donovan

By: Robert | Comments 2 Comments

Allow me to vent for a moment before I get into today’s (tonight’s) post. I put out roughly 3500 – 4000 words a week, spread out over 5-7 columns (you can do the math.) Any writer will tell you that’s a very solid output, in fact most of the big name columnists out there don’t [...]

“And a child shall lead them…”

By: Robert | Comments 1 Comment

I don’t like the idea of pinning a season’s hopes on a fairly unproven 19 year-old kid. I know my ridiculously astute and informed readers will say that Ricardinho (AKA, Ricardo Alves Pereira…shouldn’t he have to earn one name?) scored a great game winning goal for his side, and FC Dallas partner, Clube Atlético Paranaense [...]
