Whack Psuedo Administrative Stuff
'Sup ya'll. As I am working on the company dime this weekend most of my stuff will be at MLS Insider . I'll drop a few things here or there here but I'll be "working" until Monday. Holler.

SF x Rancid's Lars Frederiksen
FINALLY on the ground in Seattle no thanks to 2 hours sitting on the runway upon departure (damn you crashing air traffic control computers!). I've got to run downstairs and try to catch the Galaxy arriving at the hotel but I didn't want to forget that punk rock business I mentioned earlier ...

Viva Futbol #43
Y'all know I love Alarazboy but ......."Shake Yo Tailfeather"? Really? You gonna try and bring that back? Puffy and Murphy Lee? C'mon now. That's not even old enough to be old school yet, it's just that awkward in-between phase. Whatevs though. At least the cuts (in the editing & on ...

Vampire Weekend's Footie Fashion
This is the video for "Cousins", the first single from Vampire Weekend's upcoming Contra album. Any of you kit whores out there have a clue what club's jersey the drummer is wearing? I'd be dead curious to know.

I'm on a Plane, Listen to Jason Kreis
I'm typing this post from the rear seat of a town car on my way to the airport for MLS Cup madness 2009*. So while float over the country and plot my assault on Jet City may I suggest you listen to RSL skipper Jason Kreis talk coach stuff. Then later when my feet are back on the ground we ...

Interview With a Stadium King
There is a great piece over at The Original Winger; an interview with Gino Rossetti of Rossetti Architects . Get inside the head of one of the people who is shaping --somewhat literally-- how soccer is perceived in America.

Real Talk With Nick Rimando
theoffsiderules.blogspot.com — If you'll pardon the double dip, allow me to re-purpose something I knocked out for MLS Insider yesterday. I got to talking to Nick Rimando for a minute and he pointed out something that I didn't think of; he basically closed out his buddy ... (more) Real Talk With Nick Rimando
The Most Crazyiest Soccer Story In the World, Today
From the country that brought you “Maradona, the coach”, even greater wisdom has now conceived the Plan for Argentina to Win the World Cup™: a virtual petition demanding Messi get the perm job Maradona wore to the ’86 Final. I love this; the best people's movement since the petition to bring ...

Fat Fashion: When Your Love of Soccerwear & Butter Collide
Can I take a minute to testify? Thank you. I'm now 33 years old with little time for exercise and a penchant for rich cheeses and savory meats. It is for this very reason that I possess a body type that could be described as "rotund" and why many soccer jersey's come off like meat casing on ...

Studio 90 From Denmark
You know how when you are really, really cold --so cold that you don't even shiver-- you just get so still that if you are not talking you might be mistaken for dead? I think that's what's going on here with Kammarman. Dude looks like he is in real pain. Somebody get that man a parka.

The Most Crazyiest Soccer Story In the World, Today
Whilst skimming the business section of the Times of London this morning (because that's what baller-assed suits such as myself do in between Powerpoint presentations and breakfasts of California Condor eggs over easy) I accidentally spit mimosa all over my keyboard when I read the following ...

Extra Time: Episode 39 Act 1
Shep seems to think that Bruce Arena's performance this season is proof that the coach RBNY should hire one that they already fired. He also believes that set pieces win the game and that fly-away cuffs are the look for fall/winter 2009.

MLS Cup and MVP: Allen Hopkins' Breaks It Down Like James Brown
I'm putting my money on Shalrie Joseph for MVP; as Al Hopkins says, he played out of position, scored goals and put his team in the playoffs. Who are you putting your money on?

Day Job Update: SF is the MLS Insider
theoffsiderules.blogspot.com — There is something I should tell you. It shouldn't come as a surprise but I'm cheating on you . But it's purely professional...you understand, right baby? Just 'cause I love her doesn't mean I don't love you too. (more) Day Job Update: SF is the MLS Insider

Landon Donovan: Can't Stop Me Now
theoffsiderules.blogspot.com — Now this is what I'm talking 'bout. It's very rare that we get a hot mixtape dedicated to someone with a blue passport but BBianchi9 did us all a solid and gave Lando the flossy & glossy treatment usually reserved for Zlatan, Eto'o et al. How ... (more) Landon Donovan: Can't Stop Me Now
Scotland: Help Us Stuart Holden, You're Our Only Hope
What do you guys think? Should there be a concert effort to get the Scottish football following public behind Scotsman Stuart Holden and the U.S. at the World Cup? Or is it too hokey to play the ethnic card? Discuss.

Big, Quasi-Secretive Doings Atop The Space Needle
WTF is going with the Space Needle? It's a mystery...but I know the answer. I can't say right now because I would be fired --and that would so not be a good look when I am on the cusp of a trip to MLS Cup on the company dime-- but here's a peek . All will be revealed in due time though kids ...
