    So if this guy plays this season, do we set the record for most roster players used in a season? I think we are tied for first all time at the moment.

    Went to in n out on sunset boulevard last year. nothing special.

    anyway, kyle davies, here's what Ryan Rosenblatt of LAG Confidential had to say about him.

    Davies never really found his footing with LA, but it might have just be a matter of bad for as much as it was his play. He's a smaller defender and for the most part (AJ DeLaGarza being an exception) Bruce Arena likes bigger guys at the back. The problem for Davies is that he's pretty limited physically. Neither big nor fast, Davies is very reliant on his smarts and he does read the game well. A star for the U.S. youth trams, Davies had some trouble dealing with the strength of grown men. Luckily, that's something that can be improved and at 22, he's still pretty young. With some more strength, he should be able to hold guys off and win more tackles, something he can pair with his smarts to be a solid defender.
    Small, but not quick and relying on his smarts? He IS the new Nick Garcia

    5 guys is ok for a franchise when there's nothing better around - nothing special - everything's too overly large - the thing i like about the priest is the flavour and the burgers are not too big - same with the great burger kitchen - a cheeseburger soup? i can't imagine that - they also have the 'Lake Effect Diner' in buffalo that has out of this world food...

    obviously i don't know enough about Davies to comment...i just hope we do something drastic about our back 4 in the off-season because to me that is the missing piece of the puzzle....

    What's sad is I've been to neither of those places. To move over to soups, the Buffalo Road House here has a chicken wing soup....... it is oral sex by soup.

    BTW, new CB. Yay. Chicken wing soup, double yay!

    His career looks similar to Marosevic right down to the waive by Dallas.

    Good pick up I guess, TFC got a guy fairly cheap who could blossom into a either a starter for many years or a guy who could be dropped in a heartbeat with little consequence, in exchange for a guy who was NEVER going to get playing time for TFC.


    Also for burgers I like the Elgin Street Diner in Ottawa. Always Open and Great Food. Very filling, main purpose of the food is to soak up the alcohol in your body before going home.

    I am just happy I was able to get Dasan to sign two photos for my collection after Coach took some great pics in DC at the reserve game between the Reds and United.

    RSL-picked him, never played, Dallas-waived never played, LAG-never played

    You think we know something these 3 teams don't? Yeah right, this kid is a plug.
    I'm going to go out on a limb and say this kid won't even come close to solving our backline problems...oh well

    How come the Caps picked up someone with more pedigree, height and probably strength....not to mention they released 3 defenders....

    I'm not sure what went wrong with this kid (sounds like injury issue) but you don't get to be US U20 captain by being a plug.

    At least this kid might be depth defender

    he played quite a bit for dallas in '09, then got injured in '10 and never really got back into the team.

    i doubt he'll be the answer, but it's worth a try, let's face it we were never going to be getting omar gonzalez for dasan robinson were we.

    Southamton reserves plus 3 other stops not cracking a lineup. This is not savior for this season but we'll see if he can do something more here next year.

    Ottawa has the finest burger in North America, imho. It's a pub in the South Market, on Murray called Chez Lucien. The place is a shrine the the Montreal Canadiens. It's kind of unbelievable, but this funny little neighbourhood place has the best burger you have ever seen.

    Both players in the trade are the kind of professional player that you often seem to see around professional clubs. On the cusp of playing and fully living the dream, but never quite there. Who knows what will happen. They might end up being starters some day, or they might get fed up with not making that much and go into whatever they studied in school.

    plus Davies is only 22 whereas Robinson was 27. It would be a bigger surprise to see Robinson come to.

    why does everyone keep calling iro an MVP? where does it say that? not on his wiki, not on his roster page. you'd think they would want to put that important little factoid anywhere they talk about him.

    anyways. back to burgers. south street is alright. it's a chain, yeah, but anywhere that i can get avocado and goat cheese on my veggieburger is alright with me

    I concur with everyone about Burger's Priest. Best burgers I've had. I don't know why they're so good, they're so simple. I always find myself comparing when I go anywhere else and nothing is even close.

    Also concur that Garcia is awful. He was on my most-hated players list for a long time. Funny I don't really have anyone on that list right now. Martina is close...

    Also concur with the fact that Iro was never MVP. This thing has become folklore for some reason. He won Most Coachable Player.
