    Well, now .. LD has hit the media jackpot. Not only are lots of Prem clubs sniffing after him.. including not just Everton.. but Man City {shudder}.

    And I suppose there will be a 'bidding war'. With some brit fans saying {sour grapes} 'He aint worf it' and others assuming he will come if the price is right.

    Look.. other than an occasional lapse in trouser snake control, LD is a smart guy.
    He will go where he wants to go, money NOT being the decisive object.

    I understand Brit fans not getting that.. but MLS fans?!!! How many freakin times you gotta see it! USUALLY you bitch about it.. but it cannot be denied. MLS gives high profile stars what they want.

    I still only see him going to Everton or staying put with the better odds on his staying in LA.

    Read that Ronaldinho may go to the Galaxy. If true then maybe that's a sign Dovovan is off to the EPL. Please no Man City.

    A little late on this:

    Scraped from the Gals forum, Donovan post WC Promo tour:
    http://www.lagalaxy.com/news/2010/06/landon-donovan-national-tv-week
    Youtube: LD on Letterman

    As usual, Kelly is far more knowledgable on the sport than Regis:

    R: "I understand this is your 3rd world cup, so you played then for another country?"

    K: "No.. you have to play for one country."

    She has obviously watched as she brought up the disallowed ENG goal about the officiating.

    Education {Notre Dame} vs intelligence {HS} heh.... ;)

    Although I'm sure Regis could name every starting QB and Head coach since the start of the ND program. That's important, too.
