Why play in the open cup? Because it’s tradition, that’s why. I don’t know if saying that they don’t care was appropriate, it’s more like they aren’t as interested. That should change since the winner of the US open cup will be granted a spot in the CONCACAF Champions League.

The soccer is getting better. It’s why Houston Dynamo is tearing Atlante to pieces as I write this. Also, having a nice field is part of the experience, so soccer fans should continue to demand better.

As for Alexi, he might be. It could be what’s causing his poor decision making when it comes to bringing in players.

Alan,

Luckily, I like Woody. But that’s a dreadful response!

First of all, why even play in the Cup if the teams don’t care? That is a waste of the fans time — and maybe the MLS shouldn’t step on the pitch if it’s not taken seriously. What’s the point?

Secondly, people want to see better soccer, regardless of how ugly the fields are. And RFK is hideous by the way, and the food is awful.

Finally, is Alexi Lalas staring at Beckham’s ass too?

Thanks for playing.

Guess I’m gonna have to straighten you out, kind of like how Woody Paige straightens out Jay Mariotti.

7. The reason MLS teams lose to teams from the USL is because they don’t care about the US open cup. That is until they make it to the final. They’re too worried about other competitions like Superliga or the CONCACAF Champions League.

7A. NO, I like to watch my soccer in HD. I don’t need those ugly fields ruining it.

7B. Two words: Alexi Lalas.

As a veteran of two studio albums, I can tell you it’s not a potshot - it’s the truth. besides, many people don’t understand and assume that celebrities are not REAL people.

Well, I’d say you were a clear-cut favorite until that potshot at Jack White in the late rounds… that’s some personal stuff there brother. I’ve shamed some other singers from Detroit and practically had my gonads handed to me! How dare you! We do things differently here in North Carolina … we sleep with our cousins — and tell people about it!

okay, i’ll start:

1-Kobe, he’s got a reputation to live up to. And no, they take your nuts when you become a democrat to avoid any more Clinton-esque scandals.

2-Michigan will win 6 games, WVU will win 9 games. I’m not answering the next question because you listed it as ‘3A’ when it should be ‘2B’.

3-Rodgers will be jailed sometime this year for either the severe beating or killing of Favre. And all reports have Thompson replying with a TTYL.

4-For some reason, yes.

5-The Yankees aren’t making the playoffs. Jeter slept with Madonna back when she was hot - and he reminds A-Rod of that every day.

6-Yes, as long as you ask them politely.

7-We shouldn’t care about MLS. It’s like a minor league with major league prices. It’s hard to play defense when you’re staring at Beckham’s ass (as always, not that there’s anything wrong with that).

8.5-Big Z. Zambrano’s winning the Cy Young, only to have a massive meltdown in the playoffs.

9.Tennis is exciting to watch, but I’ll let our resident expert D-Wil handle all other tennis-related q’s.

10.I can’t wait until we see Dale Jr. driving the #88 bike at Daytona. Wake me when that happens. I’m not touching the racism thing.

11.I probably go for my camera.

12.Let’s not even think about it.

13.What’s the NHL? Does Chicago have a team in this league? Could you write up a story explaining this league to me, I think our readers would appreciate it.

14.Three words: Kentucky. Fried. Chicken.

15.I heard a rumor Jack White was caught with a notorious Pro Tools dealer the other night. I’m just sayin…

Did I win?
