Kick This rules. I discovered it when I was chasing the rumor that the Rochester ownership was going to expand to Cary and have kept listening ever since.

interesting show. I think a solid #4 on that list would be to get an MLS team in the southeast, and atlanta with its enormous hispanic population as well a fairly good area for the sport (i.e. clint mathis and wolff) might be a perfect place for it. can’t say I agree with you about Dempsey. he has been good but I thought he looked awful in Germany even in spite of his goal. it was very lucky.

Atlanta has serious potential as they have a relatively deep pocketed owner who is building a nice SSS for the Silverbacks.

And those are the two things that MLS cares about: a rich owner and a SSS that the owner controls.

The big issue with Atlanta is that it isn’t that great of a sports town.

And an MLS team would be competing head to head with the Braves in the summer.
