3 Red Cards. A fight. A penalty retaken. These things, when combined, might be seen in one full weekend of action in any other soccer league in the world. Yet it all happened in a single night of Major League Soccer action. Truth-be-told, it all happened in a single game. Last night's 1-1 draw between hosts D.C. […]

On his Saturday radio talk show this past weekend, Stan Collymore quipped, "You've got to spend big to win big." Ain't that the truth! Or is it, really?
