The Big 12 Officiating Crew....

...doing the Missouri/Kansas game ought to all be raped in prison.

They are so obviously pro-Kansas it isn't even funny. Somebody is trying to make sure Mizzou doesn't cover the spread.

Congrats To Andy Najar


Well, at least a DC United player won something this season: D.C. rookie Najar wins MLS award

D.C. United's 17-year-old star midfielder Andy Najar has been named the 2010 Major League Soccer Rookie of the Year.

Najar is the second player in D.C. United history to capture Rookie of the Year honors. The young Honduran joins 1998 winner Ben Olsen in the United honors list. Olsen became United's interim coach midseason and guided the young Najar who scored five goals and an assist in 26 League matches (22 starts). In all competitions, Najar netted seven goals and registered two assists. Najar is the first rookie to win the MLS award after coming directly from a club's youth academy.

The play of Najar was far and away the brightest part of a United season which had to be the most frustrating in their history. This is not a situation where Najar just stood out because the rest of the team struggled so badly - well, OK, that is a part of it, but anyone who saw Najar's game develop as the season wore on knows the kid is real good and getting better.

Coach Bradley better be thinking about capping Andy as soon as he can. There is no reason why Honduras should get him. (Hondurans might disagree, but I don't really care!)
