You Heard it Here First

OK, not really, but rumors are swirling that Brazilian National Team and Real Madrid star Ronaldo has inked a deal to play for the New York Red Bulls of the MLS following the World Cup.

Yes, Ronaldo has gotten tubby. And lazy. And a move to MLS would indicate he's more concerned with marketing opportunities off the pitch than playing at the highest level on it. But still, if the rumors are true, it's a big deal for MLS. I know I would start tuning in. Ronaldo's two goals in last year's friendly between Real Madrid and the MLS All Stars left little doubt he could dominate in the States. So I say, bring on the fat man.
