Something other than soccer tomorrow, promise!

Busy, busy morning.

Off to run a half marathon or so... just a training run. Did about 16 on Sand Flats Road in Moab last weekend... Ogden is approaching soon!

Here's a link to my story this week on USSoccerPlayers.com naming MLS teams: Sounders Already Scoring,

Here's a link to my story this morning in the Salt Lake Tribune about DC United, the most prolific team in MLS history when it comes to international play.

Finally, I write about the Earthquakes return to the Bay Area for the Reno Gazette Journal.

But this big news overnight is the departure of John Guppy, general manager at the Chicago Fire. I saw him just last week when the Fire was in town, and we talked about the rigors of the job and how much it can suck the life out of you. Considering his close ties to Philadelphia president Nick Sakiewicz, I wonder if he'll resurface there - or at Red Bull, whose president resigned this week as well. Guppy has deep ties to the NY/NJ area, and wasn't a great match for Chicago in my opinion. I wish him well - we'll hear from him soon enough. John, if you read this, take some time off and appreciate your family. It worked wonders for me 11 1/2 months ago!
