MLS Power Rankings (03/22): Another season will soon begin (or so I hope, since I am writing this post on March 13, 2010). That means multitudes of MLS fans and soccer journalists will be proffering up their power rankings. Now, these rankings don't mean a damn thing, but they are still fun to concoct so we can gauge how well we know the league and its teams.

I know I've been a bit light lately in my posting. Hopefully this week will make up for that. The last couple days I've put together a list of the ol' sports writer staple, a hot or not list. Some folks may love it while others may not, whatever. I'm a list guy so I like writing them.

Anyways we are a month into the season now with most clubs having four games under their belts (only one has two Columbus).

Week four is in the books as far as I am concerned. We got a little more deeper into the season and with some clubs that isn't such a good thing. Its a slow learning curve and we know it.

LA remained on top, like there was any doubt that they would here. Edson Buddle continues to dominate the headlines as he continues to score.

Forgive me for a second as yesterday I never got to a weekend recap. Work schedule and just an overall lack of time on my part played the reasons this week. I tired to make up for it with the power rankings though by giving a little more than I usually do but still its not nearly as much as I normally would do.

KC to rebrand? Really?

I've never been the biggest fan of rebranding a team in any sport. To me its almost like contraction in sports, something that should be done at a last resort. But then again rebranding has done good for some teams over the years so I do see some value in teams remaking themselves into something better.

One team we really need to pay more attention to here is FC Dallas.

That top group of clubs (LA, Columbus, and Salt Lake) may be adding a forth before long.
