SOCCER: However, it's looking like Aaron Long is staying put.

Club source told me Friday that RBNY isn’t all that interested in loaning Long. They’ll of course listen to offers, but with Struber prepping for first season, Parker out the door, Reyes in, club sees missing Long for preseason and the first 1+ month of reg. season as difficult. https://t.co/iNQQmqmI4s

For those asking what did the @GolfChannel show today.
This is no different than what Reed did fwiw and I can’t stand Reed. pic.twitter.com/OOUNUMVva7
