Good morning folks (or late night for you night owls). It took WAY longer than I would have liked but I finally finished off the most recent Q&A session. Here are the answers to the remaining questions asked by the SBI Mafia more than two weeks ago. Thanks to all of you who took part. There were some good questions this last time around.

Good morning all. As I attempt to make my recovery from my trip to Salzburg I wanted to discuss a topic that has gained some attention recently. The plight of the MLS traveling fan. As some of you may have seen, Toronto FC has turned down an initial request by the Chicago Fire supporter's group Section 8 for 500 tickets to the Fire-Toronto FC match at BMO Field in October. Tom Dunmore at Pitch Invasion does a good job of laying out the situation, which is probably why I had multiple readers email the piece. The timing couldn't have been...Ives Galarcep
