    Joe brought up a thought in the Danny Murphy thread:

    Lol.. I hear Eric Wynalda did.. which brings us to a piece of whimsy on BigSoccer Blogs by Dan Loney, addressing Taylor Twellman's 'What if you had $100,000,000 to spend in MLS'
    http://www.bigsoccer.com/blog/2014/8/4/we-wouldnt-have-to-eat-kraft-dinners
    It's well worth a read for the whimsy AND the observations on growing MLS

    {And yes, NE Kraft nothing to do with Kraft food}
    Excerpts:

    "The guy I want to hire is Peter Wilt, and if that means I'm buying and promoting Indy Eleven with most of that money, I'm very cool with that. Nice little instant rivalries with Columbus and Chicago, Wilt back in MLS with an MLS budget. Don't tell anyone, but I think Indy is on its way to MLS in any case, so it would be nice to elbow my way into that elevator while it's still in the lobby."
    ..........
    "I need a coach, don't I. I'm going to risk having everyone else I hired quit on me, because I'm calling up Eric God-D***ed Wynalda. I am THAT CURIOUS about whether he really wants to be a coach or a commentator. Maybe my front office and marketing staff that I've so carefully put together don't need Wynalda for cheap publicity, but my new team is probably going to stink on ice, what with me getting about five thousand words into this before even getting to hiring a player. So I'm putting Taylor Twellman's imaginary money where Wynalda's mouth is. Stick it to the soccer establishment, Eric."
