Pigheaded with gigantic vehicles

D.C. United is now firmly in the offseason, so Filibuster starts to pull back and look at the season as a whole. Jason, Ben, and Adam take a look at the years and the D.C. United careers of Wayne Rooney and Luciano Acosta, as neither one will be back in the District next year. Also not back next year will be Jalen Robinson, and so we spend some time talking about him and what his leaving means as well. Finally, we discuss the big job ahead Dave Kasper and Ben Olsen have to rebuild this team for 2020. Give it a listen!

Not something they do anymore
