A little better but Brett s/b MVP
Joe--any skinny on the announcement and are you covering any of the playoff games?
Joe ~~ Thank you for all of your support for the Defenders. You seem to have all the "breaking news" before it's posted anywhere else! Congrats to everyone. Great year, Connecticut Defenders!
I feel for Brett and Brock in MVP voting. Honestly, I think had only one had an outstanding season it may have given the other a better shot. I can't say that Santana doesn't deserve MVP, he's just not my first or second choice.
As for an announcement, my best educated guess would be anywhere from the day after the Defenders' season ends to, if its a different day, the day after the EL championship ends.
