Maybe This Mathis Thing Isn’t So Crazy After All
By: Martha |Last night when the Clint-Mathis-is-coming-back news broke, all anyone could think about (apart from 2000 and the mohawk) is how much he was going to be costing RBNY, and how little he might produce. After all, the man earned $410,000 last year — only the seventh-highest salary in the whole damn league — and nobody […]
Happy homecoming?
By: Chris |On August 26 2000, after scoring 4 goals—including an improbable half field dribble around five defenders – against a beleaguered Dallas side, Metrostar Clint Mathis was hailed as the long awaited scoring savior for both club and country. In the run up to the 2002 WC, the unpredictable star’s penchant to shoot and blazing first […]
Clint Freaking Mathis! Welcome to Five Years Ago.
By: Martha |Wow. Well, all that whining we’ve been doing about RBNY’s lack of big, flashy moves that don’t involve Reyna seems to have had an effect: It’s being reported tonight that we’ve acquired Clint Mathis from Colorado. Um, whoa. It’s interesting that there have been so many noisy rumors and “oh yeah, we’re so about to […]
Carolina Challenge Cup: Oh Bloody Hell
By: Martha |[T-minus nine days until the games that matter kick off. Are you tingling with anticipation? Just a little?]
Not only did RBNY lose to Toronto last night but, to add insult to injury, the winning goal was scored by Edson Buddle. Edson Buddle! The man who, as a Red Bull, wouldn’t pull the trigger if his […]
Angel One Step Closer, Or: Best. Rumor. Ever.
By: Martha |The other day, I geelfully told you about on the rumor that Aston Villa’s Colombian international striker Juan Pablo Angel was being pursued by RBNY to fill that second DP slot, and (help) solve our striker problem. Of course, you could have been forgiven for taking the story with a Hummer-sized grain of salt, particularly […]
Contracts! Contracts for Everyone!
By: Martha |Earlier this week, RBNY signed five rookies, a move that apparently filled all the spots on the club’s senior roster, meaning that, were Ansu Toure were to stick around, someone who have to be released to free up a spot for him. (If that’s incorrect, someone let me know — the various levels of roster […]
Welcome to the injury list
By: Chris |For most RB fans, a new coach and a new season brings optimism of a fresh start at the Meadowlands. And after last week’s fall out over a 14 million dollar loss for the 2005-2006 season, at least we can put to bed the rumors Red Bull is running this team on the cheap.
As a […]
This Just In: Tony Meola is Righteously Indignant. In Other News, The Sky is Blue.
By: Martha |In case you missed it, Meola was quoted whining copiously in the New York Daily News this morning, criticizing (his) former Coach Bruce Arena’s “ridiculous” communications skills. Now, why anyone would be asking Meola’s opinion on anything at this point is beyond me, but somehow he was giving a public forum in which to vent […]
Carolina Challenge Cup: Already, It’s Better Than Last Year (Plus, Another Back)
By: Martha |Last year, RBNY marked their first year in the Carolina Challenge Cup by becoming the first MLS team ever to lose to the host Carolina Battery (yes, they’re a USL team), and finished the tourney with a grant total of zero points. This year in their first game, the Red Bulls survived another scare against […]
Could There Be an Angel Looking Over Us? (Sorry.)
By: Martha |It’s been reported and “confirmed” (though no sources are ever mentioned) on a couple different RBNY sites over the past two days that Aston Villa striker Juan Pablo Angel is in talks to become a Red Bull. If the Columbian — who, though streaky as hell, is quite a goal scorer when the mood strikes […]
