The continuing Tales of...What goes on in Alexi Lalas's Mind....

This week's episode comes to you courtesy of the finest crack rock in the San Fernando Valley....Apparently the Red-Haired Don King thinks all it took was a little time and patience, but the MLS is ready to join forces with the English Premier League to finally create the "Super League" to battle continental Europe.

"In England, our league is considered second class, but I honestly believe if you took a helicopter and grabbed a bunch of MLS players and took them to the perceived best league in the world they wouldn't miss a beat and the fans wouldn't notice any drop in quality.''

In fact the Galaxy mastermind even pointed something out to me that I was unaware of:

"There's no accounting for bad taste...That a segment of the world worships an inferior product in the Premiership is their business. English football now has the haves and the have-nots. It's just that the Premiership have become so skilled in presentation. They took a page out of American football and so now they have Saturday Showdowns and Super Sundays. I love it. This is high-calibre marketing - taking an inferior product and improving it through packaging."

Well thankfully I didn't finalize that deal to buy Manchester City, so I can revert those funds back in to the Ol' US of A. Crazy or not, at least were talking MLS Football in June.
