Cooper quits his day job.

Ignoring the time-honored cliche, MLS wannabe Jeff Cooper has quit his day job:

"It means that we are so close that I've gone full time on this project," Cooper said, "to push it across the finish line. I'm confident we'll get there. The whole time this has been a matter of passion on my part. Now, I've really put everything else aside, including the business I've built for the last seven or eight years."

Essentially, Cooper has gotten out of the law business and into the soccer business.

Cooper seems convinced that the deal is imminent. And if the soccer franchise doesn't work out, he can always try to lure the Rams across the river, right? (Everybody's talking about the new sport; funny but it's still foo-ootball to me.)
