Red Bull v. W Connection: Vain Hopes of Success (and My Fandom Explained!)

Posted 06 Aug 2009 at 03:31 AM by Jeff Bull (Carey Talley Fan Club)

Even someone basically unconnected to any given team (e.g. me) knows suffering when he sees it. Don’t know, in fact, how anyone even tangentially aware of New York’s 2009 season could help but recognize it as suffering that would have compelled Job to give up entirely on God. So, I’m tuning in tonight wishing a little happiness to the hearty New York fans who showed up at Giants’ Stadium tonight. And, sure, it’s possible someone out there is thinking this is New York at home and W Connection is some putzy team from a cluster of islands...

DC v. New England: Them Young Pups Have Bite

Posted 18 Apr 2009 at 04:31 AM by Jeff Bull (Carey Talley Fan Club)

OK, I have this all worked out now…the format that is.

Game MVP: Wells Thompson
It’s not as ESPN edited it; this isn't reality TV. Thompson’s clever shove in the corner didn’t cause Ben Olsen’s equalizer by “waking him up.” It was a fluky, late goal DC scored and Olsen happened to score it - and those happen. But Thompson won that two-second psychological war…much like the New England Revolution’s team of pups stole two points from DC United tonight. That was DC’s best (enough) out there tonight and they...

RSL v. DC: A Quick One on Half a Game

Posted 14 Apr 2009 at 02:58 AM by Jeff Bull (Carey Talley Fan Club)

That, ladies and gents, is my favorite image from a Google search for the phrase "a quick one" (though I'm a big fan of the song, "A Quick One (While He's Away)" by The Who). Amazingly, this came with safe search off...

The transcript that follows is a necessary attempt at "live-blogging" Real Salt Lake v. DC...well, live two days later; if I don't write this up as I go, sleep tonight will just be something that happens to other people. You'll see what happened by the end. I'd appreciate the perspective from any insightful...

It’s Cool NY Fans: Wolyniec re-signs! (And some other transfer news)

Posted 11 Feb 2009 at 02:30 AM by Jeff Bull (Carey Talley Fan Club)

A couple days back, Red Bull New York announced that forward John Wolyniec will stay with the MLS Cup runners-up (or is it runner-ups?) through the 2009 season…assuming he doesn’t get traded mid-season. Comments by Red Bull’s Sporting Director, Jeff Agoos, should put such silly talk where it belongs – to rest:

“We are excited to have John back for the 2009 season,” said Sporting Director Jeff Agoos. “With his hard work and dedication to the club, John has become a fan favorite during his multiple stints here. We look

Friday (Sort Of) Crapstack: Big Doings in SJ

Posted 07 Feb 2009 at 01:07 AM by Jeff Bull (Carey Talley Fan Club)

So, when you read a whole bunch of stuff and a whole bunch of it interests you - even if not in the sense of inspiring a full, free-standing post - what do you do with said stuff? I say stack it together and foist it on a public that’s at least partially willing.

Waitaminute...that’s just, like, blogging...right?

Anyway, welcome to the Friday Crapstack. As Stimpson J. Cat would say, I made it mysel-lef and I couldn’t be more proud; I mean, just look at me! The concept is as above on a weekly basis. There...
