Here's a question. Why isn't the brain (whoever that may be) behind Bobby Boswell's website running more than just a single player site? Seriously, this would make an excellent model for player blogs around the league. Outside the realm of the official team website they are able to do some things that are a little looser, more engaging and smarter than the average bear.
Case in point: they now have ringtones. Seems like such a small thing but sometimes it's the little things that make a big impression. I think there may actually be some call for this; what serious supporter wouldn't want their club's anthem to alert them to calls from creditors, baby-momma's, and potential booty calls?
One thing that is odd about Bobby having his own dedicated blog is, well, why Bobby Boswell? No offense to him but he's kind of a middle of the pack as far as profile goes. It's not like he's The Hunchback of Bridgeview™, Landycakes or Grown Ass Man. He's not even Eddie Pope. It just strikes me as funny that the one of the few players with an online presence is a defender who many MLS fans couldn't even pick out of a lineup.
(Full disclosure: I've never met Boswell but went to high school with 2 of his brothers, one of which married a friend of mine and the other bussed tables with me at Steak & Ale back in the day, so I might have a small affinity for him).

Sorry, but that is not a fan-run site. Bobby created it and he posts in it occasionally. He is, as you could think, very busy, so he has a management to post various things.
bobby's brother? More metal than Chaz. Yup. I said it.
And Bobby's two sisters-in-law are probably the next best thing to wonderbread. At least he's got that goin' for him.
Who said Bobby's site was fan-run? Not I. I assumed it was run by the team or his management.
Yup, I'd probably download a ringtone of Blanco telling me to eat my vegetables.
I'm pretty sure the article implied that the site wasn't run solely by Bobby Boswell. And I agree, I'd absolutely love to have Fire ringtones on my phone. I'd prefer them from Chris Rolfe's site but hell if any player could get as much support from his team as Boswell has then I'd be stoked. Excellent article and point. Still like Boswell before and after his site though
Really? I don't see it but I'll take the lit-crit. My apologies to any and all I've misled.
Holla!
Maybe if Boswell was half as good at defending as he is as web design...
Bobby has fallen off a bit, but I think he's just in rut. Hopefully.
Crazy that dude has scored against both Chelsea and Celtic...not bad for a defender, and a young one at that.
