Come Monday?

The new word on the street is that a Seattle-to-MLS announcement could be made as soon as next Monday. Details are scarce, but this informal announcement would be at Seattle's famous George and Dragon pub, and supposedly features a 'Hollywood celebrity.' Could this be Drew Carey, rumored to be in on the ownership team? To find out, head on down to the pub at 12 PM on Monday; it's a holiday, so there's no excuse for not being there. While you're there, cheer on Arsenal to beat Reading in an EPL match that starts at the same time. Go!

This informal announcement will apparently be followed by a more official one for the press and all next Tuesday. So we may not even have to wait until MLS Cup to hear what we expect will be good news. (We say this as we cross our fingers, knock on wood, and kiss our lucky egg.)

And if you can't wait until Monday, check out this site frequently. The domain name is owned by the Seahawks, and the website could come online as soon as today, although we wouldn't expect it until Tuesday. Still, there's the potential for a bunch of ridiculously awesome news to happen within about 75 hours, and we're crazy excited.
