VMP Final Countdown: Number 14 – Joe Bendik
Highest Ranking: 7 Lowest Ranking: 25 Average Ranking: 14.73 EDIT: All the below was written before the announcement that Bendik’s option wasn’t picked up. Not a surprise really, I imagine he’ll pass through the first round of the waiver draft unclaimed. After that he’s got a shot at getting a job somewhere for less. Best of luck to him. Mark: 7. Super Pickle. Joebergine. The goalie who took Frei’s job. ...
THE STARTING 11: Things Going Under The South Stand
TFC Twitter had a minor breakdown this past Thursday afternoon when the first photographs of the BMO Field South Stand face-unlift emerged. Where some of TFC’s most vociferous support once stood was instead a random pile of rubble exposing a gaping chasm beneath the remaining seats. What could it mean? Who would dare do this? Was this the worst of the feared MLSE-Argos-pandering come true? Meh… most likely just really...
VMP Final Countdown. Number 23 – Nick Hagglund
Highest Ranking 11 Lowest ranking 27 Average Ranking 20.89 Kristin: 24. *My initial comment on the ranking was: ‘He’s never going to score a goal with these types of minutes.

If Nick Hagglund...

THE STARTING 11: Other Key Dates in MLS’ Offseason
A few days back, Major League Soccer released their calendar of key offseason events. Kudos really to the league for resisting the no doubt burning desire to call it the “OFF! Bug Spray Offseason Calendar” Glad to see some things stay sacred. Keeping fan interest through the post-season is always a challenge and MLS is doing their darndest to get people hyped for… er… public re-entry draft lists. Despite being...
THE STARTING 11: Prior TFC Playoff Highlights
“AT LAST!” was the slightly naval-gazing refrain from TFC brass after qualifying for their first ever playoff berth. Of course the full unedited version was “At last, we can raise ticket prices on you miserable, unwashed rubes!” But for that shoe to drop we had to wait a whole 12 hours after clinching.
