So much going on about the rumors of players moving on. It is fascinating right now in MILAN with the whole KAKA situation.
Manchester City are offering the insane amount of money that is somewhere between 140 million to 150 million. KAKA supposedly will get 15 million to play for City. So is this good for the future of football?
Ok, PATO is the obvious replacement for KAKA , life can go on and this can be a monster business deal yet it seems the player is reluctant to go. Is he being forced out of MILAN due to the price? Is Milan owner SILVIO BERLUSCONI inflating the price tag?
The fans certainly don’t want him to leave yet yesterday during their 1-0 win over FIORENTINA it seemed to be a farewell game for the BRAZILIAN as fans showered him with love and affection and pleaded for him essentially not to go…..In my opinion the 140 million should go to my new hero “Sully” who landed the plane in the Hudson River without breaking it up . Saving over 150 lives and the emotional carnage of so many others if they had lost loved ones. What value should be put on that pilot’s effort….So might say it was priceless.

I have gotten alot of emails about HDNET returning to cover MLS games and all I can say is that I have no idea.
I don’t even know if MARK CUBAN and DON GARBER have even discussed the possibility of it returning but it certainly doesn’t look positive. ESPN and FOX already have their deals in place while one wonders how much desire their is to bring the high def network that I have worked at for the last 6 years back. Finally this season HDNET would have acquired more “eyes” and it would have been nice to prove soccer out on the network.

MANCHESTER UNITED got a late game winner from DIMITAR BERBATOV to beat BOLTON and go to the top of the PREMIERSHIP.
What also is impressive is that it is the tenth straight shutout for the “RED DEVILS”…..Also was interesting to see ATALANTA smack INTER MILAN and the “great one” JOSE MOURINHO. ATALANTA brough on former INTER MILAN striker CHRISTIAN VIERI at the end of the match in a rare appearance. Were they rubbing it in a bit ?

The use of the word OMINOUS may have been too strong when referring to FREDDY LJUNBERG and his surgery after being signed to fanfare for SEATTLE. But you can’t say that this is not a big question mark and story heading into the SOUNDERS first season. I want Seattle to do well because I think as an organization they are stirring the pot with new innovative ideas.
Not to mention 19,000 season tickets. Imagine the atmosphere in Seattle with everybody hitting the local coffee shop before the game.
These “bar raising” efforts from places like Seattle, Toronto, Houston, DC continue to expose clubs that are not getting people in seats and or creating atmosphere at games…..

NOT buying in to the ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO move to LA. He is still amazingly a pivotal figure at JUVENTUS and I believe unless he has some type of assurance from MARCELLO LIPPI that he is going to SOUTH AFRICA this would be considered a risk.
Not saying that LA has not approached him, just saying this is a long shot IMHO. DEL PIERO you will remember suffered a severe knee injury during his career that some say would have ended it. He adapted to the changes physically that occurred in his game amazingly to continue to produce. Also love his loyalty to the “old lady”.

Yes it was TEAM MIA vs. NOMAR UNITED in another celebrity game . TONY HAWK, DULE HILL and the DYNAMO’s BRIAN CHING all on the scene for a great cause. The match yesterday benefitted the CHILDRENS HOSPITAL of LOS ANGELES specifically targeting bone marrow transplants. MIA HAMM and her husband NOMAR GARCIAPARRA giving back!!!
