The more things change, the more they stay the same... Take this past offseason, when, once again, a period of inactivity was followed by insanity. How close was Jesse Marsch from leaving for Salzburg? Where is the world is Ali Curtis? Who is running this club?

One thing stays constant: our wonderful website. Today, MetroFanatic.com turns 16! That driver's permit is within reach!

As usual, on this day we induct new members to the MetroFanatic Hall of Fame. This year, we only have one inductee, the recently-retired Joel Lindpere: Estonian, scorer of first goals, traveler of America.

What craziness will be upon us now? Hopefully, we'll be around in a year to recap it once again!
