Pro Soccer Players Are People Too

Ever wonder what a day in the life of an MLS player is like? Do you have visions of it being all about post-practice rubdowns, riding in fine European motorcars, and a scandalous lady on your arm? Well if you are Golden Balls or Landycakes that may be the case. But when you're on un-hyped 3rd-year player money, it ain't like that at all.

Watch in wonder as RBNY's Seth Stammler, Todd Dunivant, & Taylor "I am a defensive liability" Graham take you from their house (despite what you saw on Landon Donovan's 'Cribs' episode, it ain't that kind of party in Weehawken), to practice, to the driving range, to the steakhouse. Luckily they spared us the trip to the dry cleaners.

I love personality pieces and all that, but I don't want to know that my celebrities (their famous to me damn it) are just as mediocre as I am. Not sure why but it just makes me feel a little weird, kind of like when you hit your late 20's and start to realize that all of the new bands that you like & every college football player are younger than you; we need to feel like our heroes are just a little above us on some level (but without being all Deion Sanders egotrip-tastic) for this whole thing to work. Now I feel like I am rooting for my little brothers friends.
