VIDEO: Michael Bradley Arrives in Verona

I'm just going to put this bit of ignorance out there to start the day: every town in Italy looks exactly the same. Or at least my never-been-to-Italy ass thinks so. Seriously, this looks like an interview sequence from the current, Florence-filmed season of Jersey Shore; I half-expected to see a cut of Sammi drunk & crying and a coked-out Situation making "that face" as he looks out over the top of his sunglasses before the whole thing was over.



Also Mike B. speaks as if English is not his native tongue which I get. Living abroad is a mindf*** linguistically and he's lucky if he still knows the English word for "Pork Roll" since he's now on his 4th country in 5 years. The upside though is you get that man-of-the-world accent that instantly makes you seem interesting and a candidate for the next Dos Equis man.

Throwback Thursday: Gabriel Ferrari Interview

The Fire messed around and signed Gabriel Ferrari today. Not a bad catch for a club looking to replace Brian McBride, Calen Carr and Collins John. The kid is big and can ball.

So in the name of mining old-ass content here's a conversation between Gabe and myself from exactly 1 year ago. Definitely looks like things done changed in regard to that new loan but for the better. Hope we see more Ferrari's & Davies choose to come home rather than languishing in the lower leagues in Europe...yes, I'm talking about you Freddy Adu & Benny Feilhaber.
