Sunday Reading
By: jon |Aside from watching the great rundown to the end of the EPL season, here’s a little reading for you. Great article and video about Ben Olsen, right here.
DCU, VW agree to sponsorship deal
By: jon |This article, via Goff, confirms the rumor that DC United and Volkswagen will be partnering, to the tune of 5 years, $14 million dollars.
What does this mean? It could mean money to play around with on our second DP spot. It could mean more money pumped into scouting. It could […]
Snap Judgement: DCU 4, RSL 1
By: jon |Just got back from the friendly confines of RFK, and I’m well happy. Also, I got to watch my Blues keep the league exciting this morning, all over an Irish breakfast. Happy Jon.
Anyway, some quick observations before a recap post and some pictures tomorrow morning.
-Emilio is lost, lost, lost. I […]
Two new United Players
By: jon |This picture is funny, mostly because of the difference in attractiveness.
Meet your two new defenders, Jeff Curtin and Mike Zaher, formerly of Chicago and Toronto, respectively.
Here’s some info from BTB…
Curtin was drafted by the Chicago Fire in the second round (14th overall) of the 2006 MLS SuperDraft. He did not see any […]
This is us.
By: jon |When I turn the game of in the middle of the second half, you know it was bad. My reasoned, balanced analysis forthcoming.

Back in the saddle, again
By: jon |Hey folks. I was in Charlotte all week, manning a booth at a convention for 12 hours a day. Awful.
Also awful, I missed the Pachuca and Toronto game. So I have nothing to say about it, other than I love seeing the offensive explosion on the score sheets. I look forward […]
DC claims Jeff Curtin
By: jon |That’s right. We actually took someone in the Waiver Draft. That someone, is Jeff Curtin.
Defensive depth? Yes sir. Developmental spot? Yep. Am I happy? Yes I am.
Thoughts? Any Fire fans have an insight into this gentleman?
Google Reader
By: jon |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 |“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 […]
