I worded the title ambiguously like that because this more-than-likely piece of crap article is equally ambiguous. Allegedly Figo has signed a 2-year deal worth $10.2 mil to play for an unnamed AEG-operated MLS side, which despite what the hopelessly uninformed writer will tell you would be either LA or Houston (AEG no longer owns Chicago, and Figo is not a forward).
I doubt it but it could be true...who knows. I heard in August of 2006 from someone at AEG that LA was going to sign Beckham and due to the absurdity of the notion (at the time) I choked on my scotch in a fit of uncontrollable laughter. But for now I'm going to put this in the file next to the Figo to RBNY and Figo to New England rumors in 07 for what could be the first MLS transfer rumor troika.

AEG: Less Franchises. Still Stupid.
Getting ANYONE from Portugual is a mistake. Unless we want to encourage more stupid calls from our already bad offciating. Or getting someone else that's a name that means NOTHING in terms of attendence draw outside of Northern New Jersey, really , what's the point?
Let the bastard rot in Saudi as he still needs to show that he's an honorbale individual and play for the other team he signed.
We might as well start calling this moron "Diving Lothar".
Wow, CousinBinksta has some serious issues.
FWIW, the original source of this story is one of (if not the) biggest dailies in Portugal, not the usual sports rag from which these rumors generally emerge. I don't want it to be true, but the source is by far the most reliable of any of those for the Figo-to-MLS stories (And since he himself has admitted to talk with RBNY, those aren't as crazy as we might have thought.)
