Randomness on a sunday night

Wow... what a whirlwind of a weekend. Started off interesting enough... ended with a lot of work...

One thing that has been bugging me is the MLS negotiation of the CBA it has with it's players. Now, I have read a lot about the situation, and I am not impressed. As a fan, all I want to see is the players on the field come the end of March. Now as someone who understands budgets and the like, I can see that there is the possibility that giving too much away can only hurt the business in the long run. But not having the players on the field would hurt the league even more.
Seeing that star players in the league like Beckman, Ljungburg, and Donavan have already come out and said that they will now play outside the US permenently if there is any sort of lockout for the coming season is concerning. The players that draw the crowds that the MLS needs to survive are leaving because the MLS doesn't operate like leagues in other parts of the world.

Wake Up Don... The future of your league depends on it

Podcast had been a blast to do. We have been hard at work to improve things as this thing got bigger than we ever expected it to! Thanks to everyone that has downloaded and listened!
