Massive Report Podcast

Ep. 80

Well, some guys in yellow went to play against a soccer team in Salt Lake. It was UGLY. But really, only nine more games to go. We do wish the Crew to win EVERY GAME regardless. Lots to talk about from Anthony Precourt's tweets during the game verses RSL to getting blocked by Rich Balchan to whether Clint Dempsey will play in Columbus next week with Seattle ahead of the USA vs Mexico game. Plus and interview with @DKSB17.

Ep. 79

So...um....yeah.....um.... two in a row, eh? The Crew did some major things on Saturday. They exacted revenge on Toronto FC from their first loss ever at BMO field, put in a good performance in beating a team that they should beat AND the managed to win a piece of hardware in the Trillium Cup. With ten games remaining, the Crew have their work cut out for them in order to reach the playoffs. Lots of discussions from analysis of the win over TFC to possible coaching replacements to what may take place at Salt Lake. Shots were done during this podcast....only once though.

Ep. 78

Apparently we don't know how to react to a SOLID win by the Columbus Crew anymore. The podcast staff is joined my Danny Bidmead of MLS UK and Columbus transplant in Arizona Mike Goff. The staff discusses the win over New York, the arrival of the Crew's new owner, Anthony Precourt, and his interaction with the fans so far. Be looking for a major announcement regarding events surrounding the USA vs Mexico. 

Ep. 77

Busy podcast this week. The Massive Report podcast staff is joined by A.J. Jobe of the MLSFI podcast and Massive Report writer/Arizona correspondent Nate Bekman. This week's podcast focused more on everything else OTHER than the Columbus Crew's play on the field. Expansion, Clint Dempsey signing with Seattle, new ownership moves are all on the table of discussion with some passionate points and counter points being thrown around. Matt drops an F-bomb at some point in the second segment, so you have been warned. The staff actually does score predictions for the game against New York. Needless to say, most of the staff did not predict a win.

Ep.76

Well, that was a bit unexpected. Of all our conspiracy theories, estimations and speculations, NO ONE expected the Columbus Crew
to change full ownership on Tuesday. The podcast staff discuss the
exchange in ownership and look at the possibilities that are ahead of
this team as it enters a new and uncharted area of Crew history.
Our thanks go to the Hunt Family and Hunt Sports Group for their work in pioneering Major League Soccer and the Columbus Crew.
To Anthony Precourt and the Precourt Sport Ventures, welcome to Columbus and the Columbus Crew family.

Ep. 75

The Columbus Crew lose to Toronto IN Toronto for the first time ever. That's just depressing. The Crew also called for a press conference TODAY at noon to make a "Major Announcement" prompting some discussion and speculation on what it may be. Finally the podcast staff takes on possible replacements for Robert Warzycha in case he is actually replaced.

Ep. 74

Lots of drinking and passionate discussion about the state of the 2013 Columbus Crew. That's about all we can do at this point. Full slate of 6 contributors in the last segment. You don't want to miss this one.

Ep. 73

A bit of an unusual podcast. The podcast staff were only planning to go for about 40 minutes as there has not been much going on in Crew nation. However, we got into some debates and clocked in at just over and hour. A quick recap of the Wigan encounter with a look at some of the players who performed well. The task may be ugly, but the staff took on doing a mid season review. Finally, there are the score predictions and a look forward to the New England game.

Ep. 72

It wasn't a pummeling, but three point are three points. Podcast staff breaks down the debacle that was the last 10 minutes of the Crew vs Galaxy game. MLSsoccer.com analyst and writer Simon Borg joins the staff for some in depth discussion of the state of the Columbus Crew and what they can do to improve the prospect of their season. Borg also fielded questions about the USMNT and USA x Mexico in Columbus. Fear not, the podcast does talk about the Portland game,  Will Trapp, Crew marketing debacles, and quick preview of the Crew vs Dayton Dutch Lions in reserve league/USL Pro action.

Ep. 71

This is one of those episodes that you want to hear ALL of it. Yes, it's 1:40 long, but 50 solid minutes of it are with THE Frankie Hejduk. The podcast staff discusses the loss in Kansas City and its possible aftershocks to this season. Frankie joins the staff and talks everything from home brew to the U.S. Men's National Team. The staff closes out the podcast with a discussion of the upcoming matches against Los Angeles and Portland.
