That’s Rich: A Case to Watch

January 9th, 2010 . By: Richard Farrer

It’s not often that my current job as an appellate attorney intersects with my past job as an MLS soccer player, but I’m happy to say that just such an intersection will occur next week when the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral argument in American Needle, Inc. v. National Football League, et al., No. 08-661.

Preseason is here. Finally. The reports on early preseason training are starting to come in. (Yes!) And teams are starting to make some moves in the player market, including FCD.

That’s Rich: The Offseason, a Player’s Perspective

December 6th, 2008 . By: Richard Farrer

The offseason is miserable. There’s hardly ever any news (at least in the MLS). Sure, some players come and others go, but things happen so slowly that it feels like weeks between interesting developments. And, of course, there are no games. Not even stupid Open Cup games against crappy teams. No friendly games against college teams. Nothing. And the offseason is just too long.
