    Uh, this isn't a good thing for the MLS to emulate, as far as the rest of the world.

    In what alternate universe has THIS guy been living in? Wait, was he being sarcastic? It's kind of hard to tell.

    Still doesn't beat the Richmond Kickers' kit from the mid-1990's. They had a deal with Target. A Target logo on their shirt ... and Target bulls-eyes on each butt cheek. Truly an epic moment in sports sponsorship history.

    What do you mean?

    Best Buy is just a sponsor. How is this different than when the LA Galaxy allowed HerbaLife to be their shirt sponsor or Real Salt Lake allowed Xango on the front.

    You know the rest of the world generates revenue by allowing sponsorship onto jerseys.

    In fact, if you look closely the NFL does it too, with the proliferation of Reebok logos on its jersey.

    Logo creep is the American version of shirt sponsorship.

    I wouldn't buy that jersey because Best Buy sucks.

    And because I'm holding out my MLS fanboyishness for the new team in Seattle.

    Harry Doyle: Well, fans, Roger Dorn has done a little redecorating around the ballpark. The outfield walls now look like the Yellow Pages. And any of you folks having trouble finding a good proctologist might want to come down here and check out the area around the 375 foot sign. As for the game, we've got a real nail-biter here tonight. It's a lot closer than that 11-2 score.

    Is this the Best Buy where Ron Artest used to work?

    Great work, MM! I couldn't stop laughing after that one.

    What about the NY Red Bulls named after the drink?
