[JDG]

Not so much news, but it's a MLS subject we've loved to have fun with:

With news yesterday that the Los Angeles Galaxy’s other high-priced superstar is off to Europe for a winter loan spell with a big-name club, we get a chance to go in-depth on one of the more pressing, ongoing questions in MLS:
Just why is Landon Donovan so annoying?
Okay, he’s arrogant. A certain amount of that goes with the territory. After all, he makes his living cutting in front of people and trying to defeat them. A Google search of “Landon Donovan” and arrogance turns up a modest but noticeable 4,510 hits.

If I search "Landon Donovan" in trends, it says that Mexico is the country that searches him the most!
