DC United goalkeeper Troy Perkins is out of a job, according to an article on The Washington Post's Soccer Insider blog...only it although it isn't the one between the pipes, it is the one that brings in the benjamins:
Troy Perkins knew what was going on in the mortgage industry, of course. His mom's spent 25 years in the business, and he'd spent two years working part-time in the industry himself, starting off as an entry-level loan officer and moving his way into management as a project specialist. His employer--The First National Bank of Arizona--had already gone through a round of layoffs. And as the industry crumbled, Perkins, who worked from home, no longer had the same volume of correspondence.

Perkins, who has a 1.08 GAA avaerage (third in MLS), was only making about $29K per year for DC United until very recently when United rewarded his play with a fat raise, which he will certainly need now that he's losing job number 2.
But he's a silver-lining kind of guy, apparently.
"Starbucks offered me a job," he joked. "I told them they could pay me in coffee."
