RNO Week in Review


Sometimes it's just hard to keep on top of things. This week was insane front to back, top to bottom. I'm home now, Friday night, just looking to chill in and take a minute. RNO is full steam ahead and it's a tough balance between keeping on top of what is up there and gearing up for 2010. Alot going on on that front in terms of development, but maintaining what is currently in place is tough as well.

Some big steps taken since this all began ... man, four months ago. Seems like we've been doing this forever but in that amount of time we've managed to leap canyons, and we are still far from the summit.

The interviews we've managed to get a hold of have been bananas, and this week was no different. Usually it's one a week or two weeks - this week we took care of three. The most notable was none other than Jacob Lensky who seriously must not have been two seconds away from hitting send to us when the CMFS emailed him to play for their U21 team. Well everyone now knows how this played out.

Then thanks to a long chain of people we've been lucky enough to meet, Stephen Hart will be up, no doubt ready to talk about the infamous email. And in the midst of those interviews, Carl Robinson lays it all out in what Steve B said was a pretty good call.

Throw in there the usual aftermath from last weekend and CBC's story on Tom Ansemli's "winning" comments about TFC. UGH it was a rough start to November. Geez man, no wonder this team hasn't got it together, this rust is coming from the very top. "We didn't expect to make the playoffs for the first three years." Oh great! Thanks for telling everyone now. Here we are spending thousands of dollars a year, under the impression winning *might* be up there on the priority list. I don't know about you, but I always love cheering and spending all my money on teams that are expected to lose.

I could keep ranting about those comments but I'm really at a loss for what else to say on this front. When he was on TFC TV after the NYRB loss I was pretty disappointed that all he was was disappointed. Man I was so pissed after that game! And he's just like MEH. Straight into PR/Damage Control mode. For once I would love to see some sort of actual passion from these guys and say this team played like shit. $3 million bucks made ZERO difference.

At least Sam Cronin had the stones to say what is what. Cronin jersey for '10.
