Taking the Public Out of PR

It’s been awhile since I was a day-to-day reporter – since, like, the mid-90s. So my experience with sports franchises all comes before that fateful day in 2001 which, as we all know, Changed Everything.
Apparently, one of the things it changed was the long-term goals of a sports franchise. In the old days, franchises had [...]

More strikers than Milan!
By: Sean | 6 Comments
In years past, we all had some fun at Tiny Dave Sarachan’s expense because of his soft spot (notice I didn’t say ‘obsession’ – I’m careful like that) for holding mids. Well, I did, anyway. Didn’t you?
Darn.
Ok, so here’s your chance to join in the fun. The new honcho, Señor Hamlett, loves him some strikers. [...]

Ives is reporting that NYRB have offered Richards, either Parke or Mendes, and cash/allocation $ for Conde, and been turned down.
I’m a bit puzzled by it, but I’ll think more while I’m working. More later.
Until then, whaddaya think?

Apparently, Wilman Conde loves him some Juan Carlos Osorio. So much so, in fact, that he feels melancholy as he contemplates donning a Fire uniform again.
Or, more to the point, NEVER donning it again, as he seems to prefer.
Now, I don’t want to cast aspersions here. A man’s love for another man is a beautiful [...]

Good lord, the Dynamo are apparently working hard to get Benny Feilhaber from Derby County on loan.
Is it me, or is the quality of the rosters in this league getting better very quickly? Here’s the midfielders Houston could have on the roster for opening day:
Brad Davis
Brian Mullen
Rico Clark
Dwayne DeRosario
Benny Feilhaber
Stuart Holden
Corey Ashe
I’m not even counting [...]

More rumors of new signings! Thank God. (Is it me, or is this offseason already in its third decade?)
Anyway, MLS Rumors is reporting the Fire are ‘in talks’ with José de Jesús Mendoza, a 29-year-old Mexican who’s played with Club America, big Chivas, Monterrey and San Luis. Which means, naturally, that Blanco knows the guy, [...]
Where my Fire at?

If you’re like me, you’ve watched the January wheelings and dealings like kids in a candy shop – with the disappointing proviso that we’re the urchin kids, wearing tattered clothes, dirt on our faces, and no coins to buy the delicious, amazing candy.
“B-b-b-b-but Sean,” you say, tears streaking your adorably grimy cheeks, “we did so [...]
Category: Team NewsFire after Frankowski?
By: Sean | 7 Comments
Word on the street is that our Fire are following up last year’s ultra-successful greybeard striker signing (the sadly immobile Señor Wanchope, now retired) with the Goal Fisher, Tomasz Frankowski, late of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
He’s got class, finishes well with both feet, combines well. He’s scored goals by the hatful in several leagues in Europe. And [...]
