How many of these do agree with? I can’t argue with any of them, although I must admit that I was enjoying Robertson Stadium’s luxurious restroom facilities during the moment of Pat Onstad’s save of the year. Priceless.

Now, I need some help from the soccer world. I am looking for the Twitter accounts of any pro soccer players out there. I have several Dynamo players; Holden, Ching, Chabala, Boswell, Cruz, Ustruck (I think), plus Sunderland’s Darren Bent and Aston Villa’s James Collins. The only reason I have those two is because I read an article this morning about how Bent has his account name stitched onto his cleats, which it also mentions Collins. The article also has a link to other Twitterers (new word) but they are probably all of the European variety, plus the link doesn’t work for me at work. Anyway, please let me know of others.

FOREVER ORANGE

Dallas sucks.
