Most of those guys don't have detailed knowledge of what's going on but the real answer to that is...I’m talking about Stiven Mendoza, Shannon Gomez, or Poku who’s all the way in Russia right now. Why can’t someone give them a call and ask?
Or maybe the massage therapist from that season knows something? Or a water boy...

There aren't that many agents in MLS (there are very small margins) so don't be surprised to learn that Mix, Poku and Shannon Gomez all have the same agent (seriously). It's a very small and tight knit family, and leaking something like that means they'll lose a big client base when a team refuses to sign their players in the future.
As interesting as it would be to find out the truth, I'm much more interested in the big fish (the stadium) so I've been focusing all my research into that for now.
There's definitely a lot of behind the scenes politicking being done by the team in addition to all their very public community efforts. Maybe this is the weekend I actually sit down and start pulling all the records together into something that makes for easy reading.Is there anything you think you're on to regarding the stadium? Or it's just searching city records? Has there been any chatter about something soon? (We've seen the Chavez tweet)

Has the Chavez signal to noise ratio improved any? My sense is not that he makes things up, but he will repeat anything anyone tells him about NYCFC with no filter other than whether he can spin it in support of the eternal glory of NYCFC and its fans. Which is fine except it seems maybe only 20% of his stuff pans out, as of back when I still paid attention to him.

And especially in regards to a stadium announcement. Its one thing to get out in front of a new signing and "get credit" for it, but doing so for the stadium announcement is a much bigger ordeal.Don’t pay that close attention either. Probably still mostly full of it. But a broken clock is right twice a day. So keep making predictions and eventually you can take credit.

Actually, on this one, this would be a fun story to dig up.How does it feel to be squirted on by David Villa every week?

Next mystery.
Did Jelle Van Damme kill that pigeon or not?
I mean, if a Giants' player massacred a bald eagle in the stadium immediately before playing Philadelphia, that would be a big story.You jest. But I still think about that every time we play them.
Did you see the pigeon attached to one of the posts holding up the net??You jest. But I still think about that every time we play them.
