Was at the doctor's with my wife for a checkup on our baby-to-be-named-later. As we're walking out, the doc turns and says, "Oh I saw you on Facebook, the book about United!" She said she also dropped a Leo-esque "I know him!" when she saw the post. Alas, my nauseating self-promotion has paid off.

Who knows if we’ll ever see him in the Black & Yellow again, but I did ask him if he could ever envision a return to New Mexico United. While he doesn’t know yet what the future holds, he did say a return to his boyhood club would be “a dream come true”. Best of luck wherever the future takes you!

Just gonna piggyback here. Minimum wage for California is $16.50/hr. USL isn’t even $2 above minimum wage in California with their proposal. And that’s with two months going unpaid and no mandated health insurance FOR A PROFESSION WHERE YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR BODY ON THE LINE.
