SI.com says Veron to DC, Veron says 'uh, no'

Veron image for The Offside Rules

I was about to link to this SI.com piece on how the Veron to D.C. deal was done & dusted. But things are so fluid when it comes to transfers that if you don't know how to tread water you'll drown before the ship even sinks. By the time I finishing cropping the image to go with the post another link popped up from Setanta saying that the deal was off.

While Sports Illustrated is a trusted name that's been around since Jesus was QB at Bethlehem U. (who do you think invented the Hail Mary pass), the article doesn't quote anyone at all. Not his agent, not anyone from DCU. The Setanta bit has Veron himself saying that it ain't happening. Who should we believe? Goff, that's who. Hopefully he'll be able to give us the 100% street official word on this asap.

The last place in the U.S. I would think you could sell to someone as an exciting, vibrant, living breathing place to live would be D.C. Considering it's a commuter city that has nothing to offer outside of a shitlaod of museums with AARP discounts, a neighborhood with two presidents in it's name that would ranks just above Hoboken for nightlife and when a good portion of their clients are liars, cheats, and some are involved with decisions that kill other people in some foreign country that has a name Americans don't pronouce correctly.

What a lovely place.
