CHECKETTS ON 'COLD PIZZA': Real Salt Lake owner David Checketts will be appearing on ESPN's nationally syndicated program "Cold Pizza" today at approximately 9:30 a.m. MST.

Checketts will be discussing the landmark front jersey sponsorship agreement reached last month between RSL and XanGo, the first agreement of its kind in all of sports in the United States. As part of the four-year, multimillion-dollar agreement, XanGo's logo will be adorned on the front of RSL's adidas/MLS game jerseys beginning in the 2007 season.
