    Being the best player in the MLS doesn’t mean a lot in bigger, global terms, but for Thierry Henry, 35, with his glory days in the English Premier League and La Liga behind him, it’s still an affirmation of his class and quality, that will never leave him despite the diminishing physical attributes.

  • Keith Price Makes One Play More than Jose Nunes (Stanford vs Washington)

    If the Stanford Cardinal had any hopes of contending for anything more than the Pac-12, Washington squashed them.
