MLS Wins and Losses. Week 9

As always, you can get the audio version of this with interruptions and diversions by listening to this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast, out soon.

First up the New England Tea Terrorists vs the New Jersey Red Bulls. After...

MLS Wins and Losses: Week 6.

Entertainment remained thin on the ground as far as the football goes this week, but let’s dive right in, starting with last week’s big winners, the Vancouver Whitecaps, who had 4 wins out of 5, losing only to the unstoppable juggernaut that is TFC.

“I Will Remember Crew” – A Requiem to Crew Cat

I have a grudging respect for much of what Columbus Crew has done to update the feel of their club over the past couple of years. The supporters on the Mid-Ohio Riviera have stepped up their game and deserved a football club that better reflected their, um… spirit. They ditched the Right Said Fred construction worker badge for a nice Bavarian one; polished up their name a touch; and, have encouraged their more vocal sections...
