I Am Seria A, And Don't Call Me Shirley

From the usually irritating Tino Palace, some great news and a good point:

THE NEWS: Fox Soccer Channel inked a new deal to start carrying a couple of Serie A matches every week.

TCS SAYS: Love it. Now if they can just get their talent on MLS games and highlight shows to learn the names of all the players. Doesn't matter how good you are as a game broadcaster or highlight host, if you can't pronounce names of MLS starters or identify players correctly, your credibility is absolutely shot.

Now I might not have to beg Comcast to include GolTV with whatever add-on got me Fox Soccer Channel in the first place, at the risk of having their customer service people call me nasty names.

As for the second bit, I actually watched MLS Wrap last week, figuring I've been in the dark about non-Fire news lately, and was introduced to someone named Santino Quaranto from DC United while learning that the Fire somehow acquired Thiago Martins and turned him into a short, black Brazilian. So I couldn't agree with Tino more on that, and would go further on suggesting a solution. HIRE ME.
