Season Ticket Holder Ranting
By: NathanHJ | 17 Comments
The Galaxy has recently reorganized their customer service teams to create a new team dedicated just to serving season ticket holders, of which I am one. My new rep has taken the time to introduce himself to me and this got me thinking about whether or not I’d be willing to shell out a serious [...]
When Branding Runs Amok. OR: You, too, can own your own David Beckham Wastebasket!!

I don’t know why I’ve never visited the “Home and Office” section of the MLS Gear store. But once I received the email with the direct link, I had to stop by. Because I just knew that it would be good.
And I was not disappointed.
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like you to [...]

By: Laurie | 18 Comments
The updated salary list is out. It includes salaries for Alvaro Pires, Josh Tudela, Josh Wicks and Bryan Jordan. And…um…Scott Bolkan? And Vito Higgins?
Scott Bolkan? Apparently he’s a midfielder? And Vito Higgins, who’s apparently a goalkeeper? Where did they come from? Must research this.
Interesting (and a bit sad) that [...]

So this is my first full weekend back. What does this mean?
It means I get to pick up my favorite pastime of last year, griping about how many freakin’ games I am not going to be able to watch.

According to a recent Andrea Canales article on USSoccerplayers.com, here’s a bit more on the Chris Albright deal:
After five years as a key player with the Galaxy, Albright signed a new contract with LA in January, even taking a lower salary. Such a move seemed to make sense, as the team was working to [...]
Donovan Won’t Count as DP for 2008
By: Laurie | 4 Comments
I know I said I was taking the weekend off, but… Well, dammit, it’s an addiction.
The MLS Board of Governors met yesterday and decided that the second over-the-cap players who didn’t count as DPs last year STILL wouldn’t count as DPs in 2008. Landon Donovan, we’re looking at you.
Or, in other words, last [...]

There is some interesting debate going on in the media lately about the possibility of gifting teams with a second Designated Player (DP) slot. The best article I’ve seen is by Pat Walsh for Goal.com. If the issue interests you, you’ll want to read the whole thing. It sums up the situation [...]
