Righteously Kissing Jaime Moreno's Ass

I finally got to the International Herald-Tribune's Jaime Moreno gush-piece that so many people (or at least one person) has cited today. And all I really want to say here is, Goddamn Right (it's a beautiful day - how good is Ween?). Seriously, no matter which team you support, Moreno deserves all the ass-kiss he can get: no one performs in every aspect of the offense like Moreno does - and has since, literally (well, almost) the founding of Major League Soccer; no one has adapted their game to [ahem!] age like Moreno has to escape the "one-trick pony" limitations; and no other player has scored as many flat-out kick-ass goals as Jaime Moreno has in this league. To top it all off, I've never seen so much as a hint of the asshole in him, just a class act that one.

Honestly, I can't say it much better than Bruce Arena, who once said (and it's quoted in the article):

"'Jaime Moreno?' Arena once said (again). 'The best player in the history of this league, no question.'"

Again, Goddamn right.
