Not Crew Related - 4/1/2008

OK, these aren't April Fool's pranks, just some news from around the soccer world that is not related to the Black and Gold. By the way, did anyone see Gmail's prank this year? Pretty funny.

Taylor Twellman is getting surgery on his knee. Rumor has it the surgery is just cosmetic. Also, it's being performed by the Kick Medic.

Toronto is looking to score a goal this year, changing strategy from last season. And apparently, Mo is looking to powerhouses Barnsley and Derby County to strengthen his attack. Hey, at least Barnsley has beaten a few decent teams this year. Mo does know there are other nations that play soccer, yes?

McBride back in the U.S. Kit? Ives seems to think so. Then again, some would wonder if Ives believes the pre-dated Gmail scam.

DC Kia? Maybe. Ives also seems to think a foreign carmaker is going to end up sponsoring the Scum's jerseys this year.

Maybe they can get one of those new Mercedes economy cars to get ol' Moreno around on the field...
