• Question:-Is the MLS Cup or US Open Cup more important in America?
  Which Soccer Cup is more important in the US, the MLS Cup or the US Open Cup? I know that more than just MLS teams play for the US Open Cup, but I was just wondering which one was a bigger deal to the players and fans.
  
  Answer:-The MLS Cup; it's the main league, usually just called the MLS. If you watch English soccer, the MLS Cup is the Premier League and the U.S. Open Cup is the FA Cup.
• Question:-Agree with my reason why I think us Americans will watch the World Cup and not MLS?
  The reason is because there is emotion in the World cup game and its a higher level of competition. Plus not enough comes on during the World Cup that would distract us from the Cup. While as MLS is just completely boring to watch, the level of competition compared to the rest of the world is shady, and they have to compete with the NFL,NBA,NHL, and MLB. Really would you want to watch the MLS Cup or whatever its called over the Super Bowl?
  
  Answer:-I agree with the idea that the level of competition is higher when talking about the World Cup as opposed to MLS, but I don't agree with the distractions. It think mostly now it's more haivng to work past the stigma that soccer somehow isn't a real sport, or a sport for wimps, and the perceptions that the MLS and U.S. soccer in itself is crap, and people won't watch until they can get themselves past that. Finally, I don't think people watch because Americans have this idea that something has to be better than something else, so if you're an American Football fan, then that's the best sport in the world and everything else doesn't matter. Problem is that the soccer season does happen while other sports are going on, but there doesn't have to be a distractive aspect to anything: people watch basketball and American Football at the same time without reservation, but for some reason they don't think they can watch soccer at the same time as well. Again, ultimately I think that people don't watch soccer in this country because of the attitude and nothing else. The idea of distractions is just an excuse. Beyond this, though, I also really believe that there is an undercurrent of superiority about other sports. Really, the U.S. can say we're the best at things like American Football because there's no competition from anywhere else to say otherwise. People can rest assured that they are the best in the world at that sport. When it comes to soccer, that isn't the case. Americans like the feeling that they are the best at whatever it is, they're secure when they know they are, and because they aren't when it comes to soccer, they poo-poo it because they are insecure knowing they aren't. It can't be a real sport if they aren't the best in the world. We can say that about the other sports because thus far we haven't had much in the way of competition (especially basketball because the U.S. tends to completely humiliate other countries during the Olympics); that makes us feel REALLY good. I think once you look at these factors, you start seeing the real reasons why we don't like soccer, and don't watch it in droves, even the World Cup.
• Question:-Do you think the Houston Dynamo will win the 2008 MLS Cup?
  The Houston Dynamo has beat the New England Revelation twice in a row. Winning the MLS Cup in 2006 and in 2007.
  
  Answer:-Dynamo is a dynasty. I see no reason why they won't win 2008. The onyl problem is they lost Cochrane in the back line, which could hurt them. Revs are unlucky, but they only have three dominant players, while Dynamo have DDR. Nice final in November and I think Dynamo can get a third in row.
• Question:-Is the MLS Supporters Shield more prestigious than the MLS Cup?
  A few weeks ago, Red Bull New York coach Hans Backe said that the MLS Cup is a mini-tournament, and a crapshoot, whereas the Supporters' Shield is the real league title.
  
  What do you think. Do you strive for your team to win the regular season (Supporters Shield) or the playoffs (MLS Cup)?
  
  Answer:-Nope. The MLS Cup is more prestigious. You don't get a champsshirt for the shield do you?
• Question:-Is the MLS Cup the same or similar to the FA Cup?
  I'm new to the MLS in terms of fandom (NEW YORK RED BULLS ALL DAY!!!!) so I am not very knowledgeable on the various aspects of the league. Is the end of season MLS cup similar to the English FA Cup?
  
  Answer:-no
• Question:-What two Teams do you want to see in the MLS Cup and who do you thinks going to win the Supporter's Shield.?
  I want the Houston Dynamo And Columbus Crew in the MLS Cup with Houston winning MLS Cup and
  shield. Excluding Redbulls, FC Dallas, San Jose, and Kansas City.
  
  Answer:-i want to see DC United and Dynamo in the mls cup final, and i want to see Chivas USA vs LA Galaxy for the supporters shield
• Question:-MLS: Cup Winner and an MVP...What else do they get other than a Cup/Trophy?
  I was wondering...do they award Cash Prize to the winner for the MLS Cup also? I know they got a medal and trophy...
  Also what did the MVP win other than a trophy?
  
  Answer:-This is just my best guess, but if I recall correctly, there is a small cash prize for winning the Cup, and the MVP gets a new car from the sponsoring company.
• Question:-DC United fans, do you still plan to attend the MLS Cup even though your team has been eliminated?
  I heard they sold over 30,000 tickets for the championship match already, but I wonder how many were United fans hoping to see their team. Do you expect attendance to slip for that match, or are you still planning on going despite the fact that the Fire sent you home packing a little earlier than planned?
  
  Answer:-I am still going no dought!!!

• Question:-What exactly would Nascar have to gain out of targeting Jeremy Mayfield?
  He is playing this victim role. If anything, having the public know someone who is a meth user is participating in their sport makes the sport look bad. So why would they want to make someone look like a druggie when it hurts Nascar's image as well.
  
  Also his behavior to me seems like straight up addict behavior especially since addicts always feel someone is out to get them. Most think the cops, Jeremy Mayfield thinks Nascar is.
  
  Answer:-If Mayfield was innocent, then the only thing NASCAR could gain from targetting him, as long as they are successful in getting him out of the sport, is that they would have an example of their drug policy working and he would be the scapegoat.
  If he did in fact take drugs, which is increasingly appearing likely, then what they gain is getting a dangerous driver off of the track, and showing that their policy is helping the overall sport.
  The only thing that would make NASCAR look bad is if after all this the courts still side with Mayfield. That would show that NASCAR doesn't have its act together in enforcing drug policies and testing.
• Question:-Jeremy mayfield................?
  What would you think if he was innocent and NASCAR was actually in the wrong?
  
  Answer:-It would not be the first time NASCAR was wrong but at this point I really don't think they are. He has tested positive more than once now. It looks like he has a meth problem and should be encouraged to seek treatment and not be allowed to race again until he gets clean.
• Question:-what drug was jeremy mayfield taking in nascar?
  Jeremy mayfield...a nascar driver...was recently suspended for violation of the drug testing policy. The drug was never was released to the media so what do you suppose it is? Any thoughts and why wont nascar come clean with the truth?
  
  Answer:-Right now, that is the $64,000 question. I suspect we will never know unless Jeremy decides to disclose it, and I doubt that he will. If it was an innocent over the counter drug, he would have been shouting it to the sky. Since he is not, I believe it was probably illegal. He probably needed to stay awake to get his car ready for the race...you know: small team, owner/driver, minimal $$$$, very few crew members...lots of work to finish before race day. I am not accusing, merely speculating possibilities.

• Question:-How Much Is This Jeremy Mayfield Item Worth?
  I have this nascar hot wheel thing and i was wondering how much it was worth? Here is they info...
  Jeremy Mayfield
  #12 Mobil 1
  1998 Ford Taurus
  Limited Edition
  W649801275
  
  That what it said on the box so I hope I can can find out how much this is worth:)! Thanks
  
  Answer:-You would be lucky if some one didn't make you pay them to take anything with Jeremy's name on it after he tested positive twice for methamphetamine and refused to go into NASCAR's rehabilitation program.
  
  Mayfield is suspended indefinitely by NASCAR for violating NASCAR's substance abuse policy.
  
  He lost everyone of his sponsors and there isn't a company out there that will touch him.
  
  As of July 16, 2009 Mayfield sold his race team and operations due to lack of sponsorship and the last remaining member of his crew resigning after all other members of the race team where layed off.
  
  When you decide to do drugs, you must suffer the consequences. He had a multi-million dollar career going for him and he gave it all up for drugs!
• Question:-What are the obvious signs that Jeremy Mayfield is a methamphetamine user?
  I keep reading that Mayfield shows obvious signs of meth use. It's not obvious to me.
  Do you see the signs? If so, please point me out to me. Thanks in advance.
  Oops, I meant point THEM out to me. That probably makes more sense. lol
  I know he's not the greatest driver in the world. I want to know why people say he's so obviously a user.
  LOL Jocko. His lawyer makes Mayfield looks straight as an arrow!
  
  Answer:-There were no signs that I saw. I've seen meth use because I work in health care and Jeremy doesn't look like that at all.
• Question:-Is Ray Everhamn REALLY behind the Jeremy Mayfield scandal?
  Is it true that Ray supplied tainted samples of urine, bribed the lab people and paid his step mother in law to come forward with recent revelations of past substance abuse by Jeremy? The world needs to know the truth! What do YOU think?
  Hmmm, you might be onto something there MUD WRANGLER!
  
  Answer:-No, I think it's Kyle Busch.
  
  He will wreck 'em anyway he can....
• Question:-Does anyone know what drug Jeremy Mayfield took to get him suspended?
  I know many years ago Tim Richmond was suspended for taking OTC Sudafed which contains pseudoephedrine. If Mayfield only took Claritin D which contains pseudoepedrine, why are drivers so against him? My experience with the drug is that it makes me more alert and wide awake than stoned.
  It is interesting that pseudoephedrine is used in the sythesis of meth. I wonder if they use more than one lab to verify results.
  
  Answer:-Mayfield claims it was a combo of Adderall and Claritin D, NASCAR says he tested positive for meth.
• Question:-How much is a Jeremy Mayfield 25th anniversary model car worth. Its 1:64 scale?
  
  I don't watch or even follow the sport. I know he hasn't been racing for that long, but I guess it was made to commemorate the sports 25th anniversary. The box is unopened and in mint condition
  
  Answer:-I do not think Jeremy Mayfield has been in NASCAR for 25 years.
• Question:-Is Jeremy Mayfield still suspended indefinitely from NASCAR?
  I haven't heard anything about the Mayfield Saga in several months
  
  Answer:-id hire him, he got his career taken away from some stupid over ally exaggerated test, he was a good driver and he hasn't didnt anything wrong but take some kind of allergy medicine...
