Dr Andy has posted another great EZSEO newsletter with tips for how to rank your pages and how to critique your visitors… are they really likely to buy anything, or are you trying to sell the proverbial, “Ice to Eskimos”? It didn’t escaped my attention that Dr Andy’s newsletter webpage links to a video [...]

I have a few more thoughts on the MLS Cup Final. Kyle Beckerman --he had a solid Gold Cup performance and looked like one of the best, unsung players in American soccer on Sunday night. He was an absolute destroyer in the midfield, but did so in a way that was clean and efficient. At age 27, Beckerman is something of a journeyman, but last night, when combining with Andy Williams and...

The tunnel outside RSL's locker room was crazy with fans yelling and trying to see the players. I saw someone walk by with the Cup, and then I saw Marcia Williams, wife of RSL's Andy Williams. She's battling leukemia and had a big white mask on that covered all but her eyes on her face. It was hard not to feel for her, but how happy she and Andy must be tonight. What an...

Watching Andy Williams fall to the ground in utter exhaustion after coming within a turn of scoring the winning goal in the MLS Cup Final I was just heartbroken for him. You could tell he had nothing left and then the match went into penalties because RSL had shutout the “Sensei of Soccer” and the [...]

U2 have been confirmed as next year's headline act. It's their first Glastonbury and their first festival appearance in 25 years. No other official confirmations, though Andy Williams has announced he will be performing. Cannae wait to join the other 177,500 festival-goers next June. So much to look forward to next summer. End of law school, the World Cup, Glasto, Wimbledon, the cricket,...

... round. He inexplicably missed the shot way over the crossbar. While Josh Saunders was able to save Andy Williams’ kick in the fifth round, if Donovan had made his kick the Galaxy would have been crowned. The Galaxy owned Salt Lake in the first half culminating in Mike Magee’s goal in the 41st minute assisted by Donovan and David Beckham. Salt Lake took over in the second...

... else is resisting the season. Not many shoppers. No crowds. Everything was festive and cheery, and Andy Williams was insisting that "It's the Holiday Season ." I came home realizing that I can keep the spirit aloft a little longer this year because it started earlier. And I thought about all the people whose day it may have brightened. Mine certainly. The season, despite...

... thing. The match went into overtime, and then a not-very-present moment on behalf of Salt Lake's Andy Williams kept him from capitalizing on a wide-open goal—"No way he didn't make that! No way!" someone in the stands shouted, because the mistake was staggering and also because, after two fruitless 15 minute blocks of overtime, the match was officially in need of an...

... were particulary good though. We had Landon Donovan's amazing miss, Edson Buddle and the exhausted Andy Williams both with unfortunately poor efforts that turned the momentum, and finally Nick Rimando, looking particularly Smurftastic, amazing again just as he was against Chicago in the Eastern Conference Final. It definitely could have been a better match, but it felt like a Cup...

... Grabavoy followed with a successful kick for RSL to complete the fourth round, but fifth kicker Andy Williams' miss kept Real from clinching at that point. Galaxy reserve goalkeeper Josh Saunders was "remarkable," coach Bruce Arena said, in denying two RSL attempts. Saunders, who had not played since mid-August, entered the game in the 66th minute after starter Donovan Ricketts injured...

... is what Wingert told Jason Kreis in advance of the penalty kicks: "Let me shoot, let me shoot." Andy Williams could have won the game with the fifth kick, then former RSL player Chris Klein gave the Galaxy the advantage. That meant everything would have ended with a miss from Wingert, and he knew it. "Go up and bury it," he told himself, and he did so. Then Rimando made another save,...
