SSG....
SSG is hotter than today's weather!
SSG needs to eat.
I've got something that I'd like to feed her.Originally Posted by Eastend
Ha, that's a funny article. At first I thought it was real:
Tom Anselmi, the Toronto FC executive vice-president, aside from courteous acknowledgments regarding the successful bid to host the MLS Open Cup also did an excellent job of holding the technical side of TFC accountable for the goal of making this year’s MLS playoff’s. This leadership decision and forthright approach in tackling what was on everyone’s mind was needed and was smart.
Then I realized it's the April Fools article.
"Leadership... forthrite approach," ha ha, that's funny, good one.
Happy April Fools.
A chipbutty right......lol!

I think Metallica said it best
The more I look at the MLS Cup stuff, the more I like seeing the mayor wearing the Dichio Scarf!

nothing yet. and given the day, I don't believe anything till after noon.
This is killing me. I'm trying to work on a paper but I can't concentrate while I keep refreshing twitter and the mls site. Hurry uuuuuuuppp. After some of the comments at the cup news conference, a new DP slot coming in would have me fairly optimistic MLSE would go balls out to try and get TFC in the Cup. Then again it's TFC, I probably shouldn't get my hopes up too much
Is the roof for real or is that a joke as well.
a friend of mine told me she was at a bar last weekend and a short drunk scottish guy in a kilt started chatting up her table and said he was here doing engineering, but originally was a "pro" in scotland and had been offered a contract from TFC but turned it down cause he had a bum ankle that he didnt' want to further hurt cause he didn't want to it to ruin his engineering career.
the sad thing is, I wouldn't have put it past Mo to actually offer this guy a deal
damn tease:

Hold on tight: big announcement coming and it has nothing to do with the date on your calendars.
it was a joke.
here's his follow up tweet
For all you non believers, here's what the roof over the south seats looks like. http://yfrog.com/5ypqqcj
It was a joke. Kinda. He was talking about the players dugout

When I saw the 2nd tweet, I gotta admit I fell for it until I clicked the picture. Good one Paul. Good one.
Edit: Ahhhh Drewski, you beat me to it. Either way, if this MLS thing turns out to be an April Fools joke, I'm going to be SUPER pissed. Some things you don't joke about

BREAKING: MLS adds 2nd DP slot, team option to "purchase" a 3rd. No fooling. http://bit.ly/a235zg
NEW YORK — Fans who dream of watching the likes of Thierry Henry, Raul and Ronaldinho on an MLS field at the same time can wake up. That dream is a reality.
MLSsoccer.com has learned that the league is set to update the Designated Player rule to allow every MLS club to sign two DPs. Teams will also have the option to purchase a third DP slot.
The league is expected to make an announcement this morning.
In a mechanism that works similar to a luxury tax in other professional sports, an MLS team seeking a third DP slot would be required to pay $250,000 that would be evenly shared as allocation money with all the other MLS clubs that do not have three DPs.
The Designated Player rule, popularly referred to as the “Beckham” rule, was first introduced in 2007. It allowed MLS teams to pay a “designated” player above the club’s league designated salary budget.
Each DP player signing will now count as $335,000 toward a team’s salary budget and $167,500 if the DP is signed mid-season. According to the league, the $335,000 figure represents approximately 13 percent of a team’s salary budget. Previously, teams were charged $415,000 against the salary budget per DP. A team can also use its allocation money to bring that salary budget hit down to just $185,000.
MLS confirmed that these new rules will be effective immediately. Also, unlike the previous DP rule, which expired at the end of the 2009 season, these new DP rules carry no expiration date.
It is worth noting that DP slots cannot be traded between teams, nor can a team acquire a 4th slot or more.
Also, DP slots can be used to sign existing MLS players. And in one more twist, if a Designated Player is transferred to a club in another country, the MLS team will recoup the money spent on the DP before the league transfer split kicks in.
According to the league, the Galaxy’s Landon Donovan will count as a DP while New York will be compensated with $70,000 of allocation money for the second DP slot the club acquired two years ago.
It all seems like a mathematical and administrative nightmare at this point, but it should make a few dreams come true for fans.
Inclined to agree.
