Garber Sits Down With AOL’s Fanhouse


I hyped up one Brian Straus article the other day and today I’m going to pimp another one.

Interesting NASL-MLS Comparisons


SI.com’s newest writer and WVH fave Tobias Lopez wrote an interesting little piece yesterday on some comparisons between the old NASL and Major League Soccer.

Then over at the New York Times’ soccer blog, Jack Bell throws out his hopes for the idea and what to do with the playoff format. The obvious question is: Why even bother…[continue reading]

Leiweke Speaks Out For The Owners

Leiweke Speaks Out For The Owners

Soccer and Journalism: Where It’s Going

Soccer and Journalism: Where It’s Going

Over the last few weeks we’ve seen lots of movement if you will in the soccer journalism world. One guy goes from a blog to a major service, another switches from one big site to another.

A Thought On MLS Scouting


It is indeed a slow day around these parts. For some reason the cold has come into Dallas and I just feel like doing next to nothing. Thankfully there are others around that are actively doing their part to produce interesting items and this one by Kyle McCarthy got me thinking. Basically McCarthy offers a…[continue reading]

Evening Links and Thoughts: Coverage, Dallas, and more

The couple links I bring tonight are all solid. In fact they each could have easily gotten their own posts had I not been working on other things today, including the ground work of a possible new design for this site (yeah that’s a long ways off though).
