NBC hires Arlo White to be the Voice of MLS

[MrCoffee]

The rest of the country is in for a treat when Arlo starts calling MLS matches for NBC next year. I've listened to his calls of Sounders matches for the past 2 years and he is without question the best soccer commentator in the US by a very large margin. Our loss is the rest of MLS's gain.

1. Bad news for Sounders fans..

I see they say they've begun a search for a new announcer. If they bring in some kind of Calabro clone, then I'm not going to be quite as aggressive in looking to find out what channel the Sounders game happens to be on..
