      Well he is but in this environment, when there are no games for how long, I don't know about that.

        All we are doing is sitting around and reading as much as is available online until this passes. Dude can’t beat the bushes and write stories on players, staff, possible playouts for when things get back?
        Mookie would imagine a number of things there are to opine over. Heck the leagues HAvE to finish up with relegation and promotion, along with the lack of playoffs.
        There are a number of interesting items to write about.

          There’s plenty to write about, there’s nobody for him to write for and get paid for it.

              Still don't have to watch Newcastle blow it. Or be in over their head.

                exactly, I just don't see how quickly someone will hire him in this environment with no games for a long time.

                  I have a feeling this is way more about the Maven retaliating for some of the stuff he said online.

I later switched in 9th grade) soccer had very little exposure in the U.S. Yeah we had the NASL which did a decent job of promoting, and I even had a huge poster of the full Kicks roster in my bedroom. But internationally it was mostly limited to EPL highlights on our local PBS station Sunday mornings. I still recall the large white 'R' that appeared on screen. Beyond that though you didn't have much of a reference point to otherwise make you realize the NASL was quite a few rungs below the rest of the world even at that time.
                              Yeah, we had two shows on PBS, Soccer Made In Germany and Star Soccer from Britian.

                                I doubt there’s anything available for broadcast from the NASL, outside of the one season ABC did and that’s if they kept the tapes, as most of the broadcasts were local stations or syndicated. I know there’s a few Sounders ones on YouTube that someone kept and posted but beyond that I dunno.
                                NY Cosmos at Minnesota Kicks on Youtube. In fact there are a bunch of Kicks games on Youtube.
