Mostly off topic, but I just noticed this site has a feed on Google Reader. And there are 6 subscribers. SO thanks, the 6 of you. Let’s make it more than 6, readers. What do you think? Eh?
…love me….
UPDATE: Holy crap, 26. Thanks folks.

Perhaps the best quote ever by a DC United player

By: jon | Comments 2 Comments

“We are kind of thug bone, aren’t we?” added veteran Ben Olsen.
This comes from an article by Dan Steinberg about the prevalence of tattoos on the players on DCU this year. Read all about it here, it’s worth it.
Another choice excerpt…
“IM’ing, texting, tattoos, that’s so ’90s,” Ben Olsen said, while glancing at Quaranta. “We […]

Loyal readers who own 360s

By: jon | Comments 4 Comments

My brother in blog, Dave, is setting up a Fifa08 tourney online, so if you’re got a 360, sign up. You can play me, and probably beat me in extra time, which is apparently what happens to me every time I play. So. JOIN.

The Prodigal Son returns? (Updated)

By: jon | Comments 9 Comments

Santino Quaranta returns to DCU on trial.
I don’t have much to say on this, but do any of my readers have any feelings about this? Particularly, if any Brava read this, are you ready to forgive and forget after the crotch grabbing celebration after his team scored against us when he was with LA?
Some […]

We are going to suck this year…

By: jon | Comments 15 Comments

At least according to Fifa 2008. I got the January transfer window update yesterday, and I was initially excited, as I already play that game way too much. The updates had me thinking about playing with Gallardo and Niell when I got home from work, and scoring 20 goals with Anelka for the […]

Who is even on this team anymore?

By: jon | Comments 4 Comments

With all of the wheeling and dealing, along with the Draft and non-roster invitees chilling with the Black and Red, I think we need to clarify who is on the team. So, the Goffster’s gon’ break it down.

Vanney (Rights) to LA for Quavas Kirk (Person)

By: jon | Comments 7 Comments

Goff is reporting that LA has traded Quavas Kirk to DCU for the rights of again defender Greg Vanny.
SO….lemme get this right. You trade a cheap Generation Adidas player, who is a tiny hit on the salary cap, for an old, slowish defender who will cost much more.
Alexi, wtf are you doing?
DCU front office? […]

Someone else’s take on how awesome we are…

By: jon | Comments 2 Comments

Just got this link in my inbox, and decided to share it.
This is Soccerticketsonline’s (nice site, awful name) preview of DCU for this season.
They didn’t talk about the swindle from Colorado, or the new centerbacks, but I don’t blame them. Its not nearly as exciting as Gallardo coming to town.
But I would […]

A Personal Note…and DCU’s schedule

By: jon | Comments 2 Comments

I am now a (partial) season ticket holder for DC United. I’m really really psyched about it, as this is my first season ticket to anything. So I’ll be in section 139, row 6, with my girlfriend Nicole, 10 times this year.
SO PUMPED.
Saturday, Mar 29 - D.C. United at Kansas City Wizards 8:00
Saturday, […]

Gomez to Rapids, Finally

By: jon | Comments No Comments

Goff has it on good authority that Christian Gomez is finally going to be sent Colorado, in exchange for picks and money.*
So, now that we’ve all had a little time to digest this, what do you think about this trade? Are we going to regret it? What if Gallardo doesn’t show the same […]
