Oct 27

    Took a day off yesterday after another long weekend of following football and letting all of you Twitter users know about it in real-time. (As always, each weekend and Champs League day, you can get real-time updates via @championsonfox)
    But, today’s story is already up on the front page, so go check it out. Tomorrow is a travel day for me, but we’ll return to regularly scheduled service on Thursday, with a look ahead at the MLS playoffs and matchups.
