  2. A few days ago there was a nine for IX on ESPN that featured the "99ers". It was produced by Julie Foundy, one of the midfielders from the Women's team of 99. It was a wonderful collection of videos and interviews of the women of that championship team. A group of the women is reassembled (in 2013???) at the Rose Bowl to be interviewed and reminisce about that season. They were very candid, and seemed to have matured into beautiful women / moms / leaders... it was a great piece watch it if/when you have time. One of the themes that struck me in the piece was the team mindset that was a huge part of their success that season. How they played for each other, and didn't want to let their teammates down. It seems like such an important aspect of winning teams. http://espn.go.com/espnw/w-in-action/nine-for-ix/article/8948907/nine-ix-film-summary-director-99ers
  3. I think Hodgson feels entitled to play the game he's comfortable with.... and he's not to comfortable being cross checked in the back while positioned just outside the crease... or playing D..... or any form of checking. He'd be great in the new women's league. Caitlyn Hodgson..... nice ring to it.
  4. He ha$ $hown $ome pa$t offen$ive up$ide, but I even don't like watching him play.... Little D, and no de$ire to get into the fray. No urgency. He'$ a 100 footer! I want player$ that are engaged not entitled...guys who will go to battle for each other every time..... And I don't want "entitled" to infect the attitude of linemate$ or teammate$. Ooh Rah!

  8. Congratulations! Health of Mom and Baby are of primary concern..... Take lots of pictures, it goes by fast. I've got 2..... 20 and 22, and it's like the blink of an eye. Good Luck!
  9. To me it's not that TM fired TN it's that he did it less than 24 hours after the Pittsburgh game.... that says "GTFO, and don't let the door hit you... " ZFG..... "WHO'S NEXT!"
  10. A young RJ = Rodney Dangerfield "did somebody sit on a duck?" "looks good on you though" "I don't get no respect"
