Commissioner Don Garber speaks to Jack Bell of the New York Times in a very candid Question/Answer session about the state of MLS and the future of the League. There's some great stuff in here, and it offers a nice preview of what could be in the State of the League press conference Friday.

It looks like NY didn't like very much that we called out Danny Cepero's goal as not that great. Yeah it was historic and made a nice highlight, but come on, is that a quality goal?

Hillcrest here checking in from cloudy Columbus, Ohio. Yesterday while in transit, we learned that Davy Arnaud has been named one of 10 finalists for the Sierra Mist Goal of the Year Award.

First of all, get out to your local precinct and cast your vote if you haven't already. Presidential races aren't the only ones that matter, so make sure you know about the other elections too.
