As if playing Chelsea tonight in a friendly isn’t enough….the even Empire (AEG) is announcing the sale of the team to local investors.
Now, anyone who reads my blog on a regular basis knowns I’m not the biggest fan of AEG–or at least the way they do things in LA–so I can only see this move as a positive for the fans in DC. Looks like they’ll be getting a new stadium as well, though I’m not holding my breath until it’s official. Hope it’s a good match tonight and congrats …

So, I’m bumping around looking at articles and Google News has a million stories titled, Freddy Abu’s D.C. United Face Chelsea. (try it, go to Google News and type in Freddy Abu)
Ok, nice typo from the AP folks. Once again, a sign that the media only covers the sport in this country when they have to and don’t bother with fact checking.
Second, why is it Freddy’s team? Sorry, but he still isn’t a regular starter. I know, I know, MLS has highlighted the kid so much that for many, he’s …

“Toda spat in my face. That in life is …

So, Freddy Adu is now a driver.
Now, I’m not really sure how newsworthy this story is except to warn drivers in the DC area that there’s another young driver on the streets. But I guess if the sport can stay in the papers in this country one way or another, it can’t be a bad thing.
He’s 16 and driving a brand new $44,000 BMW….it sure is a far cry from my first car–or my current ride for that matter.

It’s a great day for DC fans …

Granted, there were a lot of Pumas fans at RFK last night, but hats off to the DC faithful for the turn out last night. Over 21k on a Wednesday night for a non-MLS game? That’s gotta be a record. Entertaining match as well. This is what the Champions Cup should be. I only got to catch pieces of the match, but I managed to catch both goals. I guess the only disappointments last night were 1) the result…DC will have their work cut out in Mexico City and 2) …
