Because You Are All Dying for My Opinion
Yep, the league did not get their Beckham/Donovan v Blanco/McBride showdown that would have made for easy promotion. Instead they have the Scruffy Underdogs v Glamor Boys contest.Yep, this means Alan Gordon is now a glamor boy.The commentary from LA fans I have read say they are worried about these "Underdogs" of Real Salt Lake. I dunno. There have only been two "scrappy underdogs" that I can think of that made it this far: New York (who weren't so much scrappy as lucky) and Colorado. Both ended up losing in the end.

Just a Place Along the Way...

Catching Up and Missing Pima Burgers
I haven't posted in a while...then again, how many of you have been checking?Made several trips up and down I-10 over the past few months. I was disappointed to find that the Indian Center near Tonopah has shut down. I never checked out the museum, but they had a restaurant there where they served "Pima Burgers." These were regular old hamburgers, but with roasted green chilies. When I worked at the litigation support outfit and had to go back and forth to Phoenix often, I'd time my trips so that lunch or dinner time would coincide with being near that exit.When
