This is no way to sell the sport to the public or win friends. You can run, but you can't hide. It didn't sound like the Thomas Rongen I know after the D.C. coach slipped out a back door at RFK Stadium and did not attend a post-match press conference the night United was eliminated from playoff contention. Steve Goff of the Washington Post , however, tracked down the AWOL coach on his cell phone for a comment. I've got to check to see if any other stadiums have that escape hatch as well, to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Some offside remarks.
I'll say this once and only once. Playing offside traps again and again is playing with fire. It is a lazy way to play defense. If teams persist using this questionable defensive strategy time and again, it is only a matter of time before they are burned. Even some more offside remarks.
