How much would it take for you to give Simon Borg a pedicure?
Run Seba, Run
After a busy slate of midweek action (USMNT triumph in Prague, Lee Nguyen ignites MVP talk, Seattle smack Chivas TBD), the guys gather to make sense of the action. And while the Union may not be in the playoff field, it still seems they're sleeping giants after a big win vs. Toronto FC. Sebastien Le Toux isn't sleeping, though. He's scoring and setting up goals, and the French attacker is all too willing to reveal why things are a bit different this season. He also sheds some light on his legendary fitness. Does it go back to his childhood in the French countryside?
The LA Galaxy's Gyasi Zardes has no connection to France, but he does have one more goal than Le Toux with 12, and that makes him tied for top American goalscorer in MLS. What's he think about that and all those gifts flowing in the Landon Donovan? Has the USMNT been in contact? Does Robbie Keane invite him to his wild parties? Did one of his teammates steal his haircut? It's all here if you take a listen.
Last, but not least, Simon's hypocrisy is exposed (shocker, that) and the possibility of an ETR jinx is investigated. The findings are mixed.
