Patrick Ryan and Rick, Fantastic Podcast – I never knew about the twitter poll, if I would have I would have driven some to it, one thing Soccer has going for it as far as TV goes is that there is no commercials during play, 45 minutes non stop viewing per half plus stoppage time, ESPN and FS1 Ratings for MLS game are huge, Ryan you can watch Wayne Rooney this Sunday 4/28 on FS1 AT 1:30 pm eastern 12:30 central and 10:30 pacific, “set you DVR to watch later, also you can see a brand new 250 million MLS Stadium, sell out crowd, and take notice of the crowds avg age and excitement level at the Minnesota stadium , MLS is growing lighting fast. Please note that it outdraws NBA and NHL for live attendance. cards for MLS are made only by Topps since 2013, prior since 1997 it was Upperdeck 1997 Gold cards of players like American legend Cobi Jones are rare and will be great investment, I only have 1 and all I collect is soccer. My MLS season tickets are close to 4 grand with parking pass and I have never been to a more exciting live professional event, check out the game on FS1 Sunday and see way soccer is the ticket of the town “Great work guys”
