President of Escobar Americas. Mayor of Poolsville. Crown Prince of Barnhill. Guardian of the Beautiful Game. Most importantly, MVP of seventh-grade basketball team. Broadcasting from Planet Rock.
I went to my first game on Saturday and was blown away by the stadium and game experience, especially the pregame. Well done!

U.S. Soccer is not complete without the Cosmos, the most important soccer brand in the country's history.

MLS should have purchased the name and given it to Miami before that franchise launched.

Loved the review and especially the ending.

"Her mouth lifted easily into a Duchenne smile but was often positioned slightly ajar, as if she had misplaced her self-consciousness while trying to process some incomprehensible new development of modern life."

This sentence is a masterpiece!

I love the Daily Kickoff also. It is outrageous that it has stopped. Some people have surmised that Sam Jones was among the MLS layoffs and can't talk about it.

This was a wonderful column. Probably will end up being the best of the preseason. Thanks to Jim Edmonds for sparking it.

When is the Daily Kickoff email newsletter back?

Finally someone tells the truth about backing into parking spaces. Ridiculous! This needs to be clipped and spread.

I appreciated this joke and your delivery of it on The Last Word.

What has happened to the Daily Kickoff email newsletter and our pal Sam?
