It's Day 244 of 2016. BIG NOTE: The USA Women will play an exhibition game in Minneapolis v Switzerland on Sun Oct 23 at US Bank Stadium. dN Lets start it off with a quick story from our friend Sasha: "you know how we have the T-shirt cannon firing off shirts at baseball games and such? well....during halftime of the game I was at, there was a pep squad walking around the pitch launching cans of coca cola into the crowd with an oversized sling shot. The cokes were flying around like missiles and the couple which were fired in our vicinity exploded upon impact. It was crazy" dN Since the San Jose Earthquakes were re-re-born in 2008 John Doyle has been the general manager. But not anymore. He was fired on Monday and replaced on an interim basis by Chris Leitch. Doyle was known for his conservative approach, and it appears as though head coach Dominic Kinnear has demand that the club release the hounds. Lets see what happens now. A report on the firing. By Martin Gallegos of the San Jose Mercury News. dN LA Gal
