I think Landon would have been a better player if he would have stayed in Europe back in the day, but he didn’t. Stop beating a dead horse. He’ll still be worth taking to the World Cup if he’s healthy.

I thought that had less to do with the Galaxy and more with the MLS Commissioner’s Office telling L.A. to ask for an arm and a leg to allow Donovan to transfer.

Combination of the two. Donovan’s value as basically the face of US Soccer and the MLS well-outweighed his nominal value as a player in the world marketplace.

Um, his two Everton stints? Look, by the time the guy was interested in going back to Europe permanently, the Galaxy wanted too much money for him. No one was going to pay 10 million quid to lock up a winger/wide midefielder in his late 20s.

He came home crying from Leverkusen. You don’t do that. You stay and fight. You don’t get home sick. You don’t complain about the cold weather. You don’t complain about being away from your family. You just don’t.

I’d like to recycle my thought from twitter. It’d be easier to root for donovan if he wasn’t such a pussy. The man pussied out of Europe. That’s unforgivable.

“I plan to spend a lot of time with my family and traveling to distant places alone. I am not sure where. I want to take time to have some freedom and not worry about my next game or being fit. It may take me two weeks, two months or a year. I don’t plan on worrying about the end result. I want to focus on being present and making the decision when I am ready.”

The fuck?!!!? What kind of athlete talks about focusing on being present? Even the words he uses are pussyrific.

You can experience ennui. I agree, it’s more of a state of being than a feeling that occurs.

Ennui is in itself, a feeling (of discontent, weariness, etc).

Damn, I’m been referring to that as “the pumkin ales ain’t kickin’ in.”

I would guess the Craig James Boise State Vote post has the most page views of all time

Caig James inists that more page views mean more traffic.
