How does a 20-team MLS sound to you as a stopping point? Enough? Too many?
Either way, you might just need to formulate a personal opinion on this matter, because it looks
like official MLS policy is leaning in on the big 2-0.
MLS commissioner Don Garber was in Dallas over the weekend for the Red Bulls-FCD contest.
It has been confirmed that former MLS Dallas standout and current team broadcaster Bobby Rhine
has passed from an apparent heart attack.
A friend of TSG and huge figure in US Soccer.
Our condolences.
Former FC Dallas player and current broadcaster Bobby Rhine passed away last night after suffering
a heart attack at the age of 35. He played over 200 games for the MLS team over his 10-year career,
and moved into the front office and later match commentary post-playing career. I heard his
broadcasts a few times and he seemed to be coming into his own as a commentator.

Bobby Rhine, former FC Dallas player front-office figure and broadcaster, passed away Monday
evening of a heart attack at age 35.
Known as a hardworking, geniune and caring individual to those who worked with him or played
against him, Rhine's passing at such a young age has stunned the U.
It has been a dark day here in Dallas. The news came down to me early this morning that former
FC Dallas midfielder and current team broadcaster Bobby Rhine had passed away due to a heart
attack. Rhine was at the beach with this family when he passed away.
I shared my thoughts on Rhine over at SBNation.
Why 'jokes' about cancer are no laughing matter
A few weeks ago, when parts of London were in flames, the much-loved broadcaster Danny Baker
wrote on Twitter that he wished cancer on every one of the rioters. Maybe he was trying to be funny
but it didn't read that way.
This blog covers the soccer media, so we would be remiss if we didn't note the premature and sad
passing of FC Dallas broadcaster Bobby Rhine. Only 35 years old, Rhine spent more than 10 years
with the Dallas organization, as a player, front office memeber and broadcaster. From the team
website: "It is an extremely sad day in the history of FC Dallas," said Doug Quinn, President and
CEO of FC Dallas.
What's this, a Philadelphia goalkeeper gets his own TTB edition? Yes and for good reason to. You
see, starting tonight for the Philadelphia Union is Zac MacMath, the #5 overall pick in this years
SuperDraft. He'll be the fourth youngest goalkeeper ever to start for an MLS side at the age of 20.
The reason why he's starring in this edition is because I want to highlight his possible
implications for Saturday's match against the Timbers as he'll likely be starting then as well.
