Is all the cold and snowy winter weather getting you down? Have no fear! Trips to Florida are overrated. Instead you can take in the picturesque landscapes of Bradenton, Florida from your own home for free! There will probably be a bunch of guys in red and green running around obscuring the landscape, but that's an issue at any beach resort this time of year ( I don't know what that means, but it sounded provocative so I said it).

In other words, MLS preseason is starting up again. We have already seen DC United take home the best trophy in all of sports, and now its time for Toronto to start their own preseason action. Today's match against the Oklahoma City Energy kicks off the IMG Suncoast Pro tournament, in which they will also play the New York Red Bulls and HB Koge of the Danish 1st Division.
