TMI and MLS

I was reading Mike Wise's column in the Washington Post about D.C. United player Ben Olsen this morning. Suffice it to say, I was more than a little surprised to see a TMI reference.

"A 5-foot-8, 156-pound human projectile, Olsen flew around the field more than ran, his fire and soccer IQ compensating for any lack of flair. His mother once joked his hyperactivity was caused by the power-plant accident at Three Mile Island in 1979, which was less than a mile from the Olsens' home in Middletown, Pa.

'Thank you, nuclear power,' Olsen said, smiling."
