Seriously, how much money to they need to get an MLS side up and running in Seattle? Between Joe Roth and Paul Allen alone you could potentially buy an entire league. Now there is talk in the press and in the land of gossip that Drew Carey -the official comedian of US Soccer™- is the mystery 4th investor in the project.
While I personally still have reservations about a Seattle team, but the presence of Carey would be quite comforting as he's probably the owner most likely to succeed Uncle Lamar Hunt as the league's most passionate owner. Additionally, he would be our Jon Bon Jovi (owner of an AFL team) or Jay-Z (owner of the New Jersey -soon to be Brooklyn- Nets); someone in the mainstream who would further advance MLS into the pop cultural lexicon.
The best bit about having Carey involved though is that a) he never misses an opportunity to eat a hot dog, b) write a great dick joke and c) co-op an interview to proselytize for the game. I mean what other straight man is going to get on national TV and say they are "gay" for Goldenballs?

I doubt this because he seems so inclined to stick to cheering for LA or getting a team in Cleveland. But I just hope he gets involved somehow because he's the man and I love all the things he's done for US Soccer without being solicited.
Cleveland, Los Angeles and now Seattle.
I'm now at the point where I think that Drew Carey will be involved in the up coming supporter's take over of Manchester United.
His name is in every other rumor about club purchases, might as well start another one right here, right now.
