Last summer, the #USMNT played Cuba at Audi Field. I was covering the game. I left the press box briefly pre-game because I needed a quiet spot to have a private conversation with a colleague. We walked out of the press box and stepped into an empty suite right next door.
We chatted for a good 10 minutes, and as I turned to leave I was confronted by a very large man. "What the f**k are you doing in here," he said. I was shook, and I looked up and saw, much to my dismay, a Secret Service badge.
I took a step back and stammered through a few words and showed him my credential. While I was doing so, I look over his shoulder and standing there - towering over me, really, is Barron Trump. Honestly I could've pissed my pants at this point.
Luckily for me, a staffer came and pulled me out of trouble, and I returned to my seat and covered the game as planned instead of, you know, spending the rest of my life in an offshore jail. That's my Barron Trump story.

#FCCincy's introductory presser with Brenner and Lucho Acosta is set to begin at the top of the hour. Will sit in on it and thread any notable quotes right here. #DCU
Brenner says he's thrilled at the arrival of Luciano Acosta - in particular because he's a player who has experience in MLS and who can help get him up to speed on things here.
I've asked Brenner about his impression of MLS prior to his arrival - says that he didn't watch MLS in Brazil but studied footage online before his arrival. Says he was excited about playing here. Somehow avoids saying that MLS is a "league with potential" which I love.
Fantastic stuff there by LAFC’s Own Goal. Feels like just yesterday when the former DCU academy product debuted as DC’s leading scorer in 2013. He continues to thrive out west.
