The first kegger I ever went to, Jozy Altidore was there. Someone told me " that kid plays professional soccer for the red bulls". This was before I was into soccer and didn't even care.

I was sitting second row at a Fulham vs Liverpool game at Craven Cottage. Gerrard was taking a free kick about 10 yards away and I told him he could suck my fricking dick.

He looked at me.... I think.

Does that count?

Dandy, what is Eto'o like in person?

He's a very polarizing figure here in Cameroon. Some think he's a selfish prick who let down the national team and his country in general with a lack of charity. Others (rightfully) idolize him for bringing recognition to a largely irrelevant and corrupt country.


My list:

Terrence Boyd
All of the players from the 2012 San Antonio Scorpions when I was an intern during that laughable inaugural season.

Jimmy Conrad has a great Snapchat too. The Venezuelan that you're talking about is Alejandro Moreno.

One of my best friends was on the US U20 World Cup squad this summer.

He´s a bit clueless and runs through money like shite through a goose. He means well, and is a friend of his friends.

That said, EVERYBODY wanted a piece of him (his fame and especially money), and he´s become a bit jaded over the years.

His actions, etcétera, are a bit brusque, but he´s doing the right thing many times. Simply, he doesn´t know how to sugarcoat it or properly package his persona and actions, and many misconstrue him as arrogant.

Had beers with Omar Bravo and some of the KC Sporting guys in Scottsdale during their preseason training. No one else at the table was anyone I knew.
