I really grew to like him. I thought he would be an arrogant, entitled, past his prime player, but he was a very hard worker with a decent amount of skill. Too bad his body broke down.

Hope they have him come out before the opener so we can give him a nice ovation. He deserves it.
Let's Go Buffalo!!!

He has an MLS record that's going to be extremely hard to ever beat. Fastest goal ever, 7 seconds.

Thanks Mike!

A long and peripatetic career:

2+ memorable years with RB:

Didnt he chill in 101 once?
Apparently still lives in Glen Cove, LI.
It would be nice if he stopped by the SW one game.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

Anyone who didn't like him would be difficult to like.

The ankle-breaker vs NYCFC in the red wedding. Nutmeg of Lampard. Guy had sweet moves.

So long, Mike. 👏

Echo what others said, one of my favourites to watch. Good luck to him in his post-playing career.

Loved Mike, hope they recognize him before a game. Hes a local guy, any chance he can/has interest in joining the staff? Maybe RBII or somewhere?

So long, Mike.

He was definitely fun to watch and had a workmanlike quality out on the field.

It seems Philly fans have signed up on metrofanatic to vote for themselves (in 'What team do you hate more?') . No real fan of this team would vote anything other than DC.
