Not that Jason knows what a quality player is

This isn't a regular North American sports situation where a coach is given a roster of players and they make it work. And Rene was just a sporting director, he's going to want a say in who's coming in.

One of the issues with Troy was he wasn't playing the players that upper levels wanted him to play.

If players are acquired that Rene doesn't want, we're in the same boat.

This is the podcast that dumps on Pirani, right?

I'd love to get excited about new players. But getting any player may = the wrong player.

Keeping the powder dry may be a better move at this point. Noting that it's harder to obtain some players.

Now that there's "another" strategic direction, and Rene still can't work yet. I'd almost rather wait out this window and have a better go in January than panic buy

I feel like we're dealing with multiple pits of stupidity these days

Maybe they're all connected if you go far enough down? Not that I'm interested to find out.

So it's a package of channels like the old days?

I like that better because their set top box is awful at best for apps.

Lucho is fun but curdles faster than expired milk sitting outside on an August day.

Mark your calendars - the annual “when the hell is the second round finally starting” questions begin around Halloween. 👻

Aw man. Ozzy, then Chuck Mangione and now Loni. How many original members of Black Sabbath are still alive?

It's likely something buried deep in the CBA

With these friendlies, the only thing I find interesting is "how many players won't get visas"

RIP Ryno

An improvement from 2024 to 2025? It's the field. And @joseumana.bsky.social has a great look into why.

There's also the @marioamaya28.bsky.social and @joseumana.bsky.social BadHombres podcast

And a Volume is closed.

Too bad the game was a whimper.

I look forward to a new Volume, I'm sure opportunities will present themselves, and Steve has earned the right to be choosy in what comes next.

Tannenwald's work is there, they've stepped up their soccer coverage over the years.

Also Phillies, Flyers, etc.

Whole outfit still has a local/regional approach but they do solid work.

Should I assume you already have a Philadelphia Inquirer subscription?

The hardest disbelief to suspend about the show.

How great if the wordmark was moved to where the players' name would be? (Noting Guidehouse is on the tail)

The DC United wordmark throws me off from living it.

It's Gazzelle's for me

Remember when people thought this was Ben Olsen's fault?

I feel like they want Badji to play the Benteke role instead of playing to any of Badji's actual strengths

I'm actually more shocked that they didn't roll out Wayne Rooney 3.0

I'm here to share my extensive Servette knowledge.

Fun fact: it was sold for 1 Swiss Franc

Twice

This century

Not investing in your team's infrastructure is a very DC Sports thing to do, especially as the race to be the DMV's worst owner is an open and active race

Or......the Buss' are getting out while the getting is good.

Gritty is the greatest

Every player with their best Marshawn Lynch "I'm just here so I don't get fined" face
