| Top Ten reasons “the Insider” has taken a sabbatical. |
| 1 | Fusion Practice Alot | Not much time to write while being run ragged by Coach Hudson. |
| 2 | BC Sucks | Too busy being “Mr. Outside” and trying to hook up with BC Co-eds. |
| 3 | Vegas baby, Vegas | Those Lex and Terry road trips can be a real whip. |
| 4 | Keeper Gloves | Hard to write while chasing balls with keeper gloves on (or in your pocket). |
| 5 | InternetSoccer | Screw dallasburn.com, when the big boys call. |
| 6 | Cost of Flights | Hard to write a weekly report when you can only afford to fly back from NY once every two months. |
| 7 | Rivalry gets in the way | Loyalty has been stretched by Burn’s newest rivals: Seattle Sounders (PDL) |
| 8 | Tradition | Too distracted by silly Cups, homecomings, Burn lunches, and fan groups. |
| 9 | Night Shift | Hard to write about Burn practice when you sleep during the day. |
| 10 | Too much to do | No time to be the Insider while writing for MLSnet.com and doing color on ESPN. And with ExtraTime on the way it won’t get better. |
