I feel the same way Ian. Some of the best stories come from the road warriors of the locker room and the rookies. Stars can be overtrained in an interview, spilling out the same thing they were taught to say by PR.

I like the fact that a fresh face in a new world speaks their mind without the filter of the PR machine. I mean, to hear a kid just out of college say he thinks he can “keep up with the Jozys and Reynas” of the world – come now. Thats awesome.

I became an instant fan of the kid. All around good guy, optimistic, and grounded.

Nice job with the interview, Dave. It’s always interesting to hear what the backups and injured players are thinking, not just the stars. It gives you a really good pulse for the locker room, and he seems genuinely positive but realistic. Good sign.

Greg – shush you. Behave if you want season tix!

btw – my favorite answer is the “We will win the MLS Cup if . . . “

So this is what the boss is doing instead of working again?

Great interview bro. Use you season tix to take out a brother will you!

lol No Robert. And I REALLY had to refrain from using that line – I am sure he has heard it his whole life.

“IM HOT FOR TEACHER . . . OOOOHAHHHHHH!!!”
