Many people don't like USA Today. Some who deem the paper to be a shallow read call it "McPaper". Others purchase it only for the purpose of providing their butler with something to shine their shoes on; these people are called "sailing enthusiasts". So as they are not soccer fans...screw 'em.

So I was being queried as to why I don't provide coverage of Indoor Soccer on this site, or more specifically, Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) coverage. It is surprising, given that one of my earliest introductions to the sport was as a season ticket holder for the inaugural St Louis Steamer's squad that included Carl Rose (pictured coaching a Springfield SC youth team), one of The Finest ball players I've ever had the pleasure of rooting for.

You see those glistening mounds of slow roasted deliciousness? That is what I like to call 'perfect'. It's actual nom de meat is prime rib and it comes straight off the roasting spit and on to your plate at any Portuguese or Brazilian bbq joint worth it's salt.

Albany, New York is a city I know precious little about. I have driven through it numerous times on my way to Montreal and have noticed that the skyline is made up of buildings that resemble the British Parliament, a smooshed egg, and several 30 story tall PS3's. Oh and I remember that on that show 'Night Court' Dan would always have to drive to Albany at the last minute for some reason. Click to continue reading...

I meant to mention this earlier today but I was, you know, doing my job. The MISL's first broadcast of thier new FSC deal is on tonight. So if you're not drunk in public, working at a bar serving people who are drunk in public, or have not been arrested for being drunk in public you should tune in.

If you're wondering who plays in this league other than Tony Meola I've got a little something-something for you. Click to continue reading...

Former US national team keeper Tony Meola has been named Goalkeeper of the Week for the Major Indoor Soccer League.

This award might not be as impressive as his MLS Goalkeeper of the Year in 2000, but it still nice to see Tony is still out there saving shots. Click to continue reading...

For those of us that where too wrapped up in the playoffs over the weekend to notice, the world kept turning. Some things that happened while you were drunk due to the jubilance of victory or the depression of defeat were the Red Sox winning the World Series, Obama was involved in some gay drama and the MISL season began.

And the Goalkeeper of the Week award went to Big Tony from Jersey. Click to continue reading...

MLS ain't the only league hoping to ride a wave of expansion fever straight to the bank. The MISL is looking to fatten up it's coffers as well with talk of a new club in Louisville (which I am told is pronounced "Lou-uh-vul"), KY. The club would be a tenant of the new downtown arena along with the Fire of the Arena Football League and U. Click to continue reading...
