Condolences are appreciated. I still love this team, but...man. I'm just glad the first game of theirs I managed to get to since 2013, they actually won (the last home game they won this year)

Totally fair! I spend way too much time combing through those documents, and that one was easy to miss

The roster breakdown from May said he had a 2026 option, while the most recent breakdown says he's guaranteed for 2026. He's also not on the list of potential free agents that was released yesterday

The mls roster breakdown that was released indicates that his option has already been picked up

I get being frustrated with ownership, but the supporter groups doing away with the cheers and drums just doesn't seem like the right play

Steven Buckner @sweetbuck.bsky.social · 14d

Are you sticking with your earlier take that Iloski scores like 10 goals tonight?

Steven Buckner @sweetbuck.bsky.social · 14d

Genuinely surprised they've won 5 times. It feels like it's been 0.

Great work with this, Donald! Some really interesting responses in here

Zendejas has been my "i wish DC would go sign him" player for a long while now

Really I think the team has played well as a whole. Like what I'm seeing from the coach so far

Steven Buckner @sweetbuck.bsky.social · Aug 24

Hopkins really did great tonight. Glad to see Weiler giving him some confidence

Steven Buckner @sweetbuck.bsky.social · Aug 22

Not just for GAM, for 2025 GAM specifically. So unless they plan on doing something with that 100k in the next 3 hours, it was essentially just free

Along with letting us know Peglow got hurt

Steven Buckner @sweetbuck.bsky.social · Aug 2

OK but seriously, if I pay $15/month to watch MLS, there's no reason that EVERY friendly and preseason game shouldn't be shown in Apple

As painful as it may be to cover this team at the moment, thank you Jason for continuing to give us some semblance of coverage

Hey, DCU2 is looking good!

Steven Buckner @sweetbuck.bsky.social · Jul 27

That May 3rd game was the first DC game I attended in person since... the last game they won in the 2013 season

According to the DCU Facebook page, "Tony P" is also here with him, but I have no clue who Tony P is supposed to be

Genuinely so glad to see the league actually suspend them. They could have updated the rules beforehand to prevent this, and they chose not to. Glad to see them sticking to their own rules for once

Steven Buckner @sweetbuck.bsky.social · Jul 22

I assume this doesn't impact his DP status for DC, correct?

Steven Buckner @sweetbuck.bsky.social · Jul 19

I just put this on and what in the world was that first France PK

Steven Buckner @sweetbuck.bsky.social · Jul 18

Not gonna lie, I saw this and my very first thought was "they waived him so he could come to DC for free"

Same with Atlanta. Spend $100 Million to be, what, tied with DC?

And on a less serious suggestion, but still a cult hero in a way:

I've seen people mention Arriola, Lucho, Andy, Boswell and Canouse which are all great shouts. I think we could add Pontius to that list too. Hell, get Lloyd Sam to come down and do something when he's in town for one of the games he calls with Apple
