Thad and I bring you two new podcasts for your listening pleasure.
First, at the jersey unveiling last night, Thad and I got a chance to speak to Chad Reynolds, the creative lead for Sporting in the design process. He talks a lot about not on the design of the jersey, but some of the process that went into the creation of the jersey with Adidas. It's a good look into the process for the jersey.

Sporting KC News
Here's some news for you today regarding Sporting KC.
Sporting Pull Out of Swope Park Project
This actually happened last week, but with all the news regarding player announcements I keep forgetting to post about it. The project that the city of Kansas City supports to turn the area around Sporting's training facility into a soccer complex that could rival the Overland Park Complex. The plan was to use funds left over from the Winchester Center TIF to help fund the project. The plan for the project immediately came under fire because the unused portion of the TIF funds was supposed to go to the Raytown School District and Mid-Continent Public Library. In the long run Sporting probably made the smart move so as to avoid be looked at as attempting to take money away from a school.
Still the thing that continues to bug me with regards to this situation is the fact that the TIF went into effect before the team was even originally founded and nothing has been done with the left over TIF money for years. But when another use for the project funds is found, people get up in arms over the situation.
New Byline to the Back Post
A new From the Byline to the Back Post is up for your listening pleasure. This week Thad and I discuss all the moves that had taken place through Wednesday evening, including Benny Feilhaber, Matt Besler, and Ike Opara. We also discuss the Comets, FC KC, and more. Enjoy through Posterous and iTunes.
Re-Entry Draft Stage 2 Tomorrow
The second stage of the re-entry draft takes place tomorrow. After seeing only one player taken in the first stage, the second stage of the draft is usually much more active. With Sporting KC making a number of moves after the first stage of the draft, including picking up Opara in a trade with San Jose. KC took a similar method last year, trading for Bobby Convey instead of waiting for the draft. After that trade Sporting sat out the second stage of the re-entry draft making no movement. I wouldn't be surprised for KC to once again not make a selection now that they've picked up Opara. There's no one on the list that immediately jumps out at this point that I would think KC would take.
Former Junior Trialing Abroad
Whether you want to consider this a missed opportunity by Sporting or not, this is pretty cool. Former Juniors player, Badr Seyam, a 13 year old, is currently working his way around Europe, trialing for the youth teams of some of the biggest clubs in the world. Including Arsenal and Hamburg, he's apparently also heard from Manchester City as well. It's amazing that a kid from Sporting's youth system could reach these heights so quickly. I wish the kid nothing but luck for his future

News on Juniors, Sporting, Comets, and FCKC
First, this week's podcast is up for your listening pleasure, Thad and I discuss Roger Espinoza, Sporting's end of season awards, Aurelien Collin, the State of the League address, MLS Cup, the Comets, and FC KC. Enjoy on Posterous and iTunes.
College Cup
Starting tomorrow night, the College Cup quarterfinals kick off with 9th seed North Carolina hosting 16th seed Indiana. This starts a weekend of games that will get us to the final four held next weekend in Alabama. There's the potential of a future Sporting player or two on the field for the teams playing. There's also two teams still alive that have former Sporting Juniors players on their roster. One of those games takes place on Saturday the 1st. San Diego travels to play 3rd seeded Georgetown in their quarterfinal match up. Christian Duke is the former Sporting Junior on the roster. The Toreros are the only unseeded team still remaining in the tournament and have knocked off two seeded teams to get this far. First beating 6th seed UCLA two weeks ago 5-2, and then beating 11th seeded Tulsa 2-1. Duke has played all but 5 minutes for the Toreros in their run.
The other Juniors team still alive is Creighton, which boasts two former Juniors players in Eric De Julio and Chris Tuso. The 12th seeded Blue Jays beat Washington in the tournaments second round and then pulled off a big upset in the 3rd round, beating 5th seeded Akron (who had been ranked number 1 in the polls before the tournament) on penalty kicks behind a great performance from Jeff Gal. The Blue Jays will look to score another upset on Sunday when they take on 4th seeded Connecticut. Neither De Julio or Tuso have played a part so far in the Blue Jays tournament run. The final quarterfinal match up is on Saturday and features 2nd seeded Maryland hosting 10th seeded Louisville.
MLS MVP Vote
Today MLS announced their MVP and in a surprise to no one, it was Chris Wondolowski. It wasn't even close as Wondolowski won in a complete landslide taking 91.23% of the club vote, 96.97% of media vote, and 70.83% of player vote. Sporting's Graham Zusi finished 3rd in the voting, picking up 3.51% of the club vote, 0% of the media vote, and 3.13% of the player vote. Thierry Henry finished second with 0% of the club vote, 3.03% of the media vote, and 11.46% of the player vote.
Comets Add Another Forward
Ahead of a trip to upstate New York for games this weekend against Syracuse and Rochster, the Comets announced the signing of forward Stefan St. Louis. From Trinidad and Tobago, St. Louis is available for selection this weekend. To make room on the roster, the Comets did waive Danish forward, Kevin Jorgensen, who just was not getting the hang of the indoor game while trying to transition from futsal.
FC Kansas City Set to Announce Coaching Staff
In an interview with Equalizer Soccer, FCKC owner, Brian Budzinski stated that the team will be announcing their coaching staff on Friday. The team continues to move forward at a quick pace ahead of the start of the 2013 season. Also in the interview Budzinski states that venue selection is still a little ways off, but that the sites the team is looking at are all over 5,000 seats.
