HOUSTON, WE HAVE ARRIVAL

The domestic-based group left the hotel in Los Angeles at 9 a.m. this morning and touched down into Houston just after 4 p.m. local time, making a beeline to the hotel in hopes of catching the kickoff of Super Bowl XLII (they didn't). It's the second year in a row the team has reached the venue city on Super Bowl Sunday in advance of a Mexico game, so let's hope history repeats itself. Tim Howard, Bobby Convey, Eddie Lewis and Benny Feilhaber pulled up to the hotel midway through the first quarter, while Michael Bradley and Freddy Adu are the last of the Euros scheduled to arrive tonight. TV's have been conveniently placed in the meal room so the guys won't miss the action during dinner. Speaking of, it's chow time.
