Well, now. Eric Wynalda is the all-time leading scorer for the U.S. national soccer team. He's also a soccer analyst for ABC. But he could stand to be a little more diplomatic while giving interviews.

During a discussion with the soccer blog Fulham USA, Wynalda was asked who he thought would be a big influence on American soccer. He answered that he hoped ESPN would help market the sport. And then he took a shot at one of ESPN's employees, Jim Rome:

Jim Rome can suck my d---! And he should be very afraid, because I'm the kind of guy, if I get too many drinks in me, I will club his a--. I've been on with Jim Rome, and I said, "Let me get this straight, you're more impressed with water polo???"

OK, so Rome likes water polo better than soccer. I'm not sure how threatening to club Rome's a-- is the way to get more favorable coverage on the Worldwide Leader.
