But next time I write a post on Ty, I’ll be sure to dig up a photo. Just for my female readers.

Diane, for me to do that would feel creepy, since I’ve known one of his UW teammates literally since kindergarten, which for some reason makes me feel all maternal toward Ty himself.

(And plus he seems to be like Ante Jazic — still photos don’t do either of them justice. Or…um…so I’m told.)

What’s interesting is that Ty Harden seems to have become the international poster boy for underpaid MLS guys. He’s played every minute all season, he plays on the Galaxy, he’s good, and he’s blond and photogenic — not unlike another, better-paid player. The contrast is too delicious for the media to pass up.

He’s showing up in articles from all over the world, and especially in the UK. Perhaps the international shame factor will finally get these rookie boys some more money.

Thats really sad that our professional athletes in MLS have to have odd jobs so they can pay rent and eat dinner.
