A thinking man’s sport?
Tweeted by Juan Agudelo of the USMNT and NY Red Bulls. Oy veh.
With Michael Davies on the lam, Man in Blazer Roger Bennett addresses the nation all by his lonesome in this week’s pod. He’s joined by His Excellency, MLS Commissioner Don Garber, to discuss his formative years at the NFL, the state of MLS finances, and what goes through his mind when he straddles his big ol’ Harley. Rog then transitions to more serious matters with the help of Portland’s iconic mascot, Timber Joey. The classically trained logger lays bare his thoughts on love, life, and chainsaw circumcision.

For this week’s pod, Rog chatted with Portland’s very own Timber Joey prior to his clubs season opener. What a gem.
GFOP Daniel Higgins informs us today that Joey Timber Has Risen over Rose City. Logs everywhere tremble at his circumcising ways. #NOPITY
Apparently, hyperbole is spelled M-L-S. Today at 12:00pm ET the 2012 MLS SuperDraft coverage begins on ESPN2. The Montreal Impact pick first.
“The MLS encourage their players to go out to Europe during their off-season for improvement, practice and to have contact with top-level football. That’s why Brek Shea is coming here.”
Arsenal’s manager Arsene Wenger.
Careful there, Arsene, an MLS is always watching.
Now this is commitment. Kid Keller.

Kasey Keller is a true American hero. In our pod we talked about how his retirement was honored in the most fitting of ways. With not one, but two cornfield mazes. If any friends of the pod are involved in agriculture, could they please fire up the lawnmower, cut a Mario Balotelli cornmaze and send us a photo. Thanks.
Although Roger is still in the process of choosing an MLS team to root for, Michael recently made the plunge, pledging his allegiance to the Portland Timbers. Thanks to Matthew M (great friend of the pod) for dispatching this exquisitely crafted patch now proudly fixed to the Davies breast pocket by a master tailor. #NOPITY
Roger’s Mum’s Rosh Hashana XI
Men In Blazers has amassed three regular listeners. One is my Mum – Mrs. Bennett. And in honor of Jewish New Year, she put together this Rosh Hashana XI. The best soccer team Judaism can offer. I’d love to hear if you think my Mum missed anyone. This squad is to soccer what Team USA has been to the Rugby World Cup, even with Edgar Davids in the Madeleine Albright / creative midfield role. Happy New Year.

Or perhaps you prefer the sporty Wambach-Beckham look.
Just realized that Abby Wambach and David Beckhman frequent the same salon.
