Hahah...some guys at ESPN are losing their jobs at the end of this season then, all he has is a pretty good cross.
Am more worried about the LA gangs finding his address, $250,000,000 US dollars for marketability, ala of the MTV kind is just an organised criminals wet dream target.
Dunno where you get American Football being high adrenaline, saw 1 match in person and it put me to sleep, literally, and watched a superbowl match which equally wasnt up to much, and basketball ummmm. Ice Hockey is the best mainstream sport in the US imo, but maybe am biased for being a white guy with a short attention span who knows.
You did say an amazing idea though, putting 5 of the top US club teams in either the central or southern american Club tournaments, would be EXTREMELY good publicity, and ofcourse the games would be amazing, wouldnt reckon there would ever been a chance of them getting into Europe though, locations are too far off and then you got the politics...
Does seem extremely cool though, but in any case I hold true to my origional predictions, in 10 years give or take, the US will be a rising star in the world futbol stage.
