Hey its soccer so I feel like I must post. Really like N.E come Sunday too. Last year's final was entertaining, well the last 30 minutes the first 90 were a bore. Must of pissed ABC that the game went into Extra time last year.

Re: Robert Kraft offering free bus service for NE Revolution fans to DC for the MLS Cup

the ONLY chance they have of having people take them up on the offer is if they have a TV in the bus so fans can see the Pats/Bills game later that night

as for the game - agree w/Joey Fitz - NE on a TWO-WAY line ONLY

They are supposed to nice coach buses from what I've heard so they will probably have TV's in them. But I'd say anyone die-hard enough to go on this MLS trip probably cares way more about the soccer than the NFL.

It will be interesting to see how Robert Kraft takes in both games. He must have a private jet ready to go from DC to Buffalo.

you can bet all you have on this one

say the game and all the Hoopla ends by 4P - at the latest. that gives him 4+ hours to get from DC to Buffalo and while it willl be a tight fit i'll be stunned if he is not there for kickoff of the SNF game

"Our fans are our backbone, we're proud to help them out, we want a HF advantage", et al. In other words, "ESPN doesn't want TV viewers to see an empty stadium at a championship event". Wonder if he'll pay for the transportation for NE's fans to attend this year's Super Bowl?
