We are excited to have the MLS season around the corner even though we may not be thrilled with were the Union are after a quiet offseason following a season that felt like a step back.

Of course, we discuss the new jerseys and do our now annual golden boot draft. Enjoy!

We finally back in the recording “studio” to discuss the recent Union form.
