* With Monday Night Football in town for the first time in a long time a couple of thoughts.
I am just dumb-founded as to why PLAXICO BURRESS needs a gun in New York City going into a nightclub?
Does he need protection? How does the nightclub let him in with the gun?
MLS needs to promote the fact that their players are not getting into the off-field troubles that others in the NFL and NBA are…
Oh, and please don’t tell me the simple arguement that it is because they get paid more. How about common sense?

ESPN is in town with “Mike and Mike” at the House of Blues (great venue for live music by the way) this morning promoting the Monday night football game on Espn. MLS Prime Time Thursday clearly is missing the tertiary support that a radio or tv show earlier in the week could provide to drawing awareness and interest to MLS PRIME TIME THURSDAY matches. MLS clubs also have a stake in this to get fans to games. Markets that can’t put people in the seats should be avoided. NE are you listening?

*Fans are encouraged to stay active with their support of the stadium by contacting city and county officials as this is expected to come to a head in December.
