Soccer and Chucks

A couple quick links.

--There was a cute entry in the DC Sports Bog about members of DC United rooming together. I just love the idea of teammates living together; it reminds me of the stories of the big baseball stars living together (I believe Mantle and Maris were roommates for a time, though I could be making it up; I'm too lazy to check it out right now). I'm also kind of blown away at the idea of Ben Olsen advertising the room on Craigslist. I'm sure it would be out of my price range, but how cool to have him for a landlord!

--Story in the Post yesterday about Converse's 100th birthday. Yes, my last car was named "Chuck." Yes, after the shoes. Yes, I still have a little pair hanging on my rearview mirror. I started wearing Chucks sometime in middle school, mostly because my sister wore them and therefore, I thought they were cool. I still do. And they're crazy comfortable, and black Chucks go with everything.
