Q & As with Houston Blogger Daryl

By: Laurie | March 18th, 2008

Any of you remember the old show “Newhart” where the… um… less-than-sophisticated Larry would always introduce himself with, “Hi. I’m Larry. This is my brother Daryl, and this is my other brother Daryl.”

No?

Damn, I feel old. But at any rate, I’d like to introduce you to the “other brother Daryl,” the Daryl who writes our Houston Dynamo Offside. No relation to Daryl who writes the main page. Aside from the fact that they’re both soccer-obsessed and write for The Offside.
