Game pics

Aren't these good pictures? No, I didn't take them. Nick Ammazzalorso, who used to be one of the Galaxy media guys when I started covering the team, was helping out the organizers of the Celebrity Soccer Challenge and got them to send me a couple of pics. He was always doing nice stuff like that when he worked for the Galaxy, too.

  1. OK, I wasn't going to do this, but now I must.

    Andrea - or Luis, whichever one of you have more pull - make your new buddy Rivers Cuomo read Center Holds It. I listen to his music, so it's only fair...

    And ask him about that mustache (it is a mustache I'm seeing in that goal celebration, isn't it?). My wife (also a fan, arguably a bigger one) is curious as to the inspiration (e.g. is it part of a "mustache race"? A celebrity game mustache to help with focus, etc.)

  2. I'm not sure I have any pull with Rivers. He may not even read this blog, just my ESPN.com articles. If he does read this blog, though, he probably reads the comments, too. Rivers, CHI is a good blog, check it out.

  3. By the way I linked your photo and some Cuomo quotes on my blog (www.allyouneedishops.blogspot.com). Please let me know if that is a problem. I credited you and made sure I linked to Mia's site.

  4. No worries, hops, you were very kind to give SV credit. A lot of other blogs take pictures and other stuff from here and don't do that. Luis and I realize that's the risk we take in posting anything here, but that makes us appreciate those who mention the source (like you!) even more.

  5. And actually, I didn't take the Rivers picture, so I can't claim credit for that one. The quotes are mine, but the photo came from the event organizers.
