Kansas City, MO - Players for the San Jose Earthquakes reported that their in-flight WiFi access was also blocked by Tim Melia as the team flew home after their penalty kick loss in the playoffs.

“I paid extra for this and now I can’t access anything,” stated one anonymous player. “This is ridiculous! It’s just Tim Melia… EVERY TIME. He’s stopping us again!”

Sources indicate that it wasn’t just that the WiFi that was blocked, but the manner in which it happened.

“I tried to log into Gmail and it acted like it was going to work,” stated one anonymous Earthquakes assistant coach. “But right at the moment when the page was going to load, up popped Tim Melia and I got nowhere.”

Reporters to the flight attendants apparently fell on ears unable to stop Melia from blocking the internet as the crew tried everything to resolve the situation.

“I got really close,” stated Chris W. “I really thought I had google loading and then … BAM….. Melia. I thought I had CNN loading and then…. BAM… Melia. It’s GETTING REALLY OLD.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Tim Melia prevents the Earthquakes from landing at their assigned gate.
