Here's a very cool panoramic picture from the Sounders game where they honored Zakuani in the 11th minute by holding up "11" signs:

There was a shout out to Zakuani by Drew Carey on today's episode of The Price Is Right. One of the first four contestants was an Akron student and when she won her way onstage and said that she was an Akron student, Carey gave Zakuani a shout out. Carey is part-owner of the Sounders; this TPIR taped just days after the injury. Sometime this evening CBS.com will have the show online for viewing, in case one wanted to see.

I did not realize Stevo had further complications.
Thanks for the post, Johnny. |

Thank you Johnny. Grant Wahl is one of the best sportswriters around -- he captured the emotions of the circumstances very well. Let's just hope that Steve can indeed be 100% again! Go Sounders!

You're both welcome
 And Z.I.P. you are spot on about Wahl. He writes high quality pieces consistently. -------------------- "Build it, and they can't tear it down.......not for a good 15-20 years anyway."

Re: Wahl, the article he wrote describing his run for the presidency of FIFA is easily one of the best 10 pieces of sports journalism I've ever read

QUOTE(johnnyzip84 @ Feb 2 2012, 02:31 PM) I read similar accounts in Steve's blog, but thanks for posting this. I'm hoping somehow, some way, Steve will be able to be on the field by May 23rd. I don't know how I'm going to get a ticket, but I arrive in Seattle that day to begin an Alaska cruise on the 25th. The Sounders just happen to be home to play the Columbus Crew on the night of May 23rd. Even if Steve isn't playing, I don't want to pass up the opportunity to experience a Sounders home game. |
