A few things...

Sean should be back in the tubes of an interweb later on tonight, but for now I'll hit ya with some quick jabs of my own...

#1 - FC Barcelona is all set to unveil a bid for an MLS club in Miami. Get all of the details (well... all they will tell before Wednesday's press conference) here.

#2 - Ladies and gentleman, I give you the overreach of the century (which need I remind is less than a decade old): Boston musician Samuel Bartley Steele is suing Jon Bon Jovi because, he says, the rocker's recent MLS ad campaign ditty is just disturbingly close to his own penned baseball anthem.

And what does SBS want? Ohhhhhhh just $400 billion.... yeah, $400 BILLION. Learn more of the madness here.

#3 - Are you angry FC Dallas top gun Kenny Cooper isn't on the USMNT squad list for Wednesday's World Cup qualifier at Trinidad & Tobago? Well, put down the smashing instrument; KC is sick/injured and begged out of a call from Bob Bradley. See for yourself here.

Meanwhile, Colorado destroyer Pablo Mastroeni and Columbus winger Robbie Rogers have also had to back out of international duty due to injury setbacks on the weekend.

#4 - For those wondering about the injury status of IK Start defender Clarence Goodson, he is back with the club and will find out tomorrow if he can suit up on the weekend. Turns out good ol' Clay came down with mononucleosis - a word the club director couldn't quite come up with in English when I talked to him yesterday, as you can plainly tell right here.

#5 - Kudos to Houston for taking out the trash in a timely fashion. They didn't hesitate to ban the idiot who confronted D.C. United keeper Louis Crayton with racial slurs. Though Soccer Insider Steven Goff broke the story, let's go to Houston Chronicle ace Bernardo Fallas for the aftermath bit.

Do also note the widespread display of disgust and apology from Dynamo fans in the comments section - they clearly do not want to be branded due to a single incident involving a single moron. I don't blame them a bit.

#6 - If you haven't seen The Bank Job, do. It's like a dramatized investigative report on a wild true story - or so it seems. When it was over, I raced to Wiki to get the full background story... which made the film seem all the more impressive after the fact. And then I watched it again.

#7 - A bit late, but I will finally open up my reading library with an edition of Soccer Books tomorrow.
