Why does the MLS suck? I’ll tell you why.?

No relegation/promotion. Lower teams have nothing to play for except tank their seasons for a high draft pick. There’s no mid-season excitement of beginning to know what teams will go down/up.

The level of soccer is low. It’s like watching an amateur game. I can get the same level of intensity of football watching the mens league.

Looks like the players in the MLS still play like when they were 12 year olds. That is: run towards the guy with the ball immediately. No space, no creativity. It’s the same everytime. Guy receives a pass only to have the closest opponent near him to run at top speed and kick the ball out of play.

The commentators. Sure you can commentate like that for hockey and baseball, but not football.

Most teams still use turf.

The fans. Southsiders, Red Patch Boys are jokes. Cut and paste chants from England and fake British accent doesn’t mean your a true football fan.

It’s basically kicky-ball.

Salary cap doesn’t help at all.

Washed up players from teams like Derby come to MLS. People, the MLS isn’t getting any better than it already is. No academies to develop players, weak college football, the MLS is gonna stay where it is until the nation actually decides to develop players at a young age instead of turning all their attention to baseball, american football.

Beckham was supposed to promote the MLS and attract stars, but he went and couldn’t even help the Galaxy make the playoffs. Now he’s in Italy, practically begging to stay(even going as far as saying he’d take a big paycut to stay). And he’s ripped of their playing surfaces as well. If the MLS wants to be taken seriously across the globe, start with turning the playing conditions on-par with European standards.

Lack of fans in some cities. In a 20,000 seat stadium, only 12,000 show up.

NFL footballs being used for stadiums. Totally destroys the mood when I have to constantly stare at yard lines all the time. Plus the fact that a NFL stadium seats 70,000, and only 20,000 show up, then there’s no atmosphere at all. No noise.

No enough promotion.

Many European football fans root against the MLS.

North American football fans. After spending nearly 10 years in NA, I’ve followed hockey extensively. The fans are too „whiny“ and „b*tchy*. You try to show loyalty to your club by saying things like „blah blah blah you guys suck we’ll always beat you“ and they come back with „well our record previous to this game in the last 5 years against you guys was 10-5-4. Then they’ll go on and on about player stats and management and stuff. Maybe it’s common amongst you guys, and I’ve learned to adapt to it, but here in NA there’s too much emphasis on „class“ and respect.

The talent level is too low. I KNOW FOR A FACT that the MLS is NOT reaching out to European talents. Sure maybe when they’re 37 they may come.

MLS is NOT on par with the lower half of the EPL like most MLS fans say. MLS All-Stars BARELY beat West Ham last year, and you could tell West Ham couldn’t give a rats ass while every single MLS All-Star acted like they were playing the game of their lives, or fighting for a job to get noticed in Europe.

In conclusion the MLS does in fact suck, but only at the moment. They are about 20-30 years behind, but you can never really get an accurate number since you always hear about the next upcoming superstar whereas you don’t for NA footballers. The physical aspect of the MLS is good though. I am bashing the MLS though because they want to be something they’ll probably never become. The addition of Vancouver, Portland, Philadelphia, and Seattle will improve competition though. I’ve already put down deposits for season tickes so I’ll see how it goes.

Week 16 WR – Three players needed and TE one needed?

ppr 0.5 per catch and 0.04 per return yard

LAURENT ROBINSON (DAL) – VS Philly – Given my depth, an easy must start I feel

DESHAUN JACKSON (PHI) – @ Dallas – With the returns and Vick finding him well. I again see this player a must start despite he spent virtually the last two months on my bench.

TORRIE SMITH (BAL) – VS Cleveland – It is hard for me to start this player when I have so many other strong players and the Browns defense being as stingy as it against the pass.

TITUS YOUNG (DET) – VS. San Diego – Matchup is average for me here as a home dome game is a bonus and San Diego is improving, but Detroit seems to have a great three receiver set.

ANDRE ROBERTS (ARZ) – @ Cincy – I just picked him up as one of my waiver picks. He is hot and an ok matchup only

Free agents
JOSH CRIBBS — @BAL
DEON BRANCH — MIA
DONALD DRIVER — CHI
KEVIN WALTER — @IND
BRAYLON EDWARDS — @SEA

TE
Brandon Pettigrew (Det versus SD) and Brent Celek (Phi @ Dallas)

Other positions are good to go with Tebow and Orton in a 2QB start league and Reggie Bush, Darren Sproles and Jones-Drew as my two RB’s and Flex spot. I have Seattle defense playing so strong I have no reason to start Denver „DEF“ now with a decision between Nick Novak and David Akers as a kicker and given weather, conditions and a mush shorter week for SF I am leaning to Novak. 2 IDP’s with small gravy points added for sacks/Tackle Loss has me with London Fletcher (Stud) and Pierre Paul with the NYG against Sanchez who has difficulty handling pressure. The reason I mention this is because my opponent is strong as well and I don’t think I need to go „Boom or Bust“ with the likes of Torrie Smith.

Thank you

cheap gas?? ways to save?? please read?

Exxon and Mobil are the biggest suppliers of foreign oil

THIS IS NOT THE ‚DON’T BUY‘ GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.

This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please.

Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea.

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the ‚don’t buy gas on a certain day‘ campaign that was going around last April or May!

It’s worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!!

We need to take some intelligent, united action.

The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn’t continue to ‚hurt‘ ourselves by refusing to buy gas .

It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.

BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can Really work. Please read on and join with us!

By now you’re probably thinking gasoline priced at about $2.00 is super cheap.. Me too! It is currently $3.49 for regular unleaded in my town, Seattle.

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 – $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..not sellers.

With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.

The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit

someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.

How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can’t just stop buying gas.

But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.

Here’s the idea: For the rest of this year, DON’T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.

If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices.. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It’s really simple to do! Now, don’t wimp out on me at this point…keep reading and I’ll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) … and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)… and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers .

If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted!

If it goes one level further, you guessed it….. THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That’s all!

(If you don’t understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10 people…. Well, let’s face it, you just aren’t a mathematician. But I am . so trust me on this one.

How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!!

I’ll bet you didn’t think you and I had that much potential, did you!

Acting together we can make a difference.

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

would this idea bring down the gas prices?

I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down?

Will you help the economy?
