MLS Dropped it's much hyped (by MLS) 2015 NYRB season preview today, featuring some analysis by Matt Doyle, some comedy stylings by Kevin Brown and a video segment featuring a very nice person that had a number of cups of coffee before this segment was shot. 

 

The video segment is a laugh, you should check it out.

In MLS we don't have Murphy's Law. We have "That's so Metro."

 

The New York Red Bulls were, for nearly two decades, the definition of a cursed franchise. Big-name players came in and underperformed. Promising talent was traded away by the boatload. World-renowned coaches failed spectacularly.

 

Then Mike Petke came in and won the Supporters' Shield. Then he got his team within a goal of the franchise's second MLS Cup appearance.

 

And so he was fired. "That's so Metro."

 

I'm not sure about the "top or bottom" analysis, I think it's entirely possible for us to be exactly mediocre enough to finish like 6th, especially with TFC likely making a run at the top 3 in the east and others coming in as well like Orlando, etc. 

 

Our midfield is good, our front line is decent but thin, and our backline is shit. Add to that a new coach, and I think you have the recipe for a mediocre team that struggles to be consistent.

 

Anyway, some good content by the league.

 

Not that we'll have a 2015 season. (#That'sSoMetro).

No. That's-So-Metro would be a strike during a year in which the team has a shot at winning MLS Cup... That is a reason why I don't think there will be a strike. We'll get to see the shit-show unfold before our eyes!

it could be a lot worse. That's just new media these days, man. She's a type, but she's the lowest dose of it. At least they don't have Borg doing the same schtick (they used to).

I lol'd when I heard Red Bulls front office new theme song regarding the Petke firing........from Frozen, "Let it go, let it go......."


The New York Red Bulls previously kicked around Major League Soccer as the MetroStars with limited success. But after transforming under a new banner in 2005, the Red Bulls have become a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference. The club has made leaps of progress since its previous incarnation and now has its focus on bringing the league title to New York.
