New Piece by Jimmy Conrad

Conrad strikes again. I always like this cheeky little things he writes for ESPN.

Ha-ha! That was good stuff. For some reason, the pro-turf question was the best to me. You know Beckham doesn't want to play on that crap.

"...his brain will tell his mouth, his mouth will tell the trainer,...I ain't playing today."

 

Gave me a great laugh at the office today. Conrad has some great comedic talents and has modesty by the boat loads.

How often does he post his blog anyways? I will need to take a look at his archive for similar stuff. Great post.

 

I thought some of you might find this interesting with all of the upheaval in North American pro soccer.

I thought someone already posted this but I couldnt find it so my apologies if the is old news to you

 

I am not all the way thru it, but I have really enjoyed it and he makes some good points. It is pretty amazing that we have a league full of educated players who can produce this kind of stuff.

That is one huge plus from our system. It may not be whats best for the sport, but getting an education is great for the players.
