Balls are flying in Mormonville!

A few random thoughts:

Four!
The Associated Press reported today that RSL’s Freddy Adu was hit in the head by a golf ball. No word on who hit the “wayward drive”, but TYH suspects Shepp Messing. Does this constitute a hate crime under the new House bill? Adu reportedly said that it stung less than the realization that he wasn’t, in fact, the savior of American soccer.

Jen’s Blog
Jen “isn’t that a girl’s name” Chang, ESPNsoccernet U.S. soccer, gave his blessing to the coronation of Jason Kreis as new coach to the struggling Real Stupid Names in his blog last Friday. I thought for sure that DC’s Tom Soehn would be the first head coach to get the ax, especially since Ellinger was one of the main reasons Adu agreed to be traded to Mormonville. Do you think Kreis could emerge as the next great American coach and go on to coach the U.S. national team to unprecedented success, finally overcoming his label as a national team choke artist? Yeah, me neither.
