IS U.S. SNIPER Clint Mathis headed for Real Salt Lake, the 2005 expansion team run by former Madison Square Garden president Dave Checketts? Sources told SI last week that RSL was seeking to bring Mathis back from Germany's Hannover 96, where he has fallen out of favor with coach Ewald Lienen. In September, Mathis scored as a late-game sub, then taunted Lienen by pointing at his watch, insinuating that he should have been inserted earlier. Mathis has played in only one match since.
