The three horsemen of the Filibuster are back in action, and ready to bring you a (belated) episode this week. Adam, Jason, and Ben start off by catching you up on the week’s news, with the re-signing of Jared Jeffrey and the fact that Chris Durkin will spend most of the year with D.C. United first up. We talk about the signing of Sebastien Le Toux and the signing of Ian Harkes, plus the injury and surgery of Bill Hamid. Finally, we end the segment by talking about Sean Franklin at center back, Nick DeLeon at fullback, and the trialists who are in camp (who also happen to be fullbacks). In the second segment we bring on our old friend Sebastian Salazar. We talk about his move to ESPN, the happenings at MLS Media Day, and Tim Howard’s comments to USA Today. We ask him about the difference in the US men’s national team under Bruce Arena, Major League Soccer, and the new expansion teams. We end his time on the show by laughing at the LA Galaxy, talking about D.C. United and their defense, and asking him if he misses his Capitol Soccer Show co-host, Greg Roche. Give it a listen!

Our friend Garrett Denney, of E Pluribus Loonum, was kind enough to record audio for us at the recent 2017 MLS SuperDraft. He talked to Chris Odoi-Atsem and Eric Klenofsky, D.C. United's first two draft picks, right after they had been selected by the team. Give it a listen!

You’ve waited for it, and now it is back! Jason and Adam are here to serenade your ears while Ben is off on assignment. We start with an Adam’s Fun Time News Roundup Time™️️, which kicks off with the news of Bill Hamid’s injury. We also talk about D.C. United’s full schedule, the potential Ian Harkes signing, and the preseason schedule (which convenes next week!) The second segment is our SuperDuperDraft SuperFun Supertacular! We talk about how the three picks fit into the team, whether or not the third and fourth rounds should be ended, and how the consensus top 2 players from last week quickly turned into a top 5. We also talk about the surprising new amount of transperancy with allocation money in trades, and the weirdness of assigning draft grades.

After a winter slowdown, Filibuster is here for you and ready for the long haul. Jason, Adam, and Ben are back to talk about the last two weeks of news, including the UMSNT camp and the United players who will be attending. We also talk about the trade of Collin Martin and the hire of a new Academy director, as well as the possible signing of Ian Harkes, the loss of Crystal Dunn to London, and the latest chapter in the USL/NASL lower division drama. We then bring back one of our favorite guests, Travis Clark of Top Drawer Soccer. We talk about the potential of Ian Harkes, the top two players in the MLS SuperDraft, D.C. United’s draft strategy, the deepest positions available in the draft, and another United Academy graduate who, unlike Harkes, is available for drafting. Give it a listen!

After a week off for the holiday, the Filibuster crew is back, rested, and ready to go. We start with a D.C. United news roundup, talking about the departure of Andrew Dykstra, the arrival of Jose Guillermo Ortiz, and the re-signing of Sean Franklin. We break down what each of these moves mean, and go on a meander about whether or not this team could use a 352 late in games. We then do the last two Cakes or Deaths of the year, for General Manager Dave Kasper and head coach Ben Olsen. You will not be surprised as to where we land. Finally, we bring you an interview Adam conducted with Ari Gejdenson, owner of the brand-new soccer bar Dock FC, located in Ivy City. Adam talks with Ari about his history, his career playing soccer, and his plans for this brand new venue. Give it a listen!

It is a very rare two Filibuster week, with so much happening that we just had to split it into two shows. This week Jason, Ben, and Adam talk to writers who cover the two newest teams in MLS: Atlanta United and Minnesota United. First off we talk to Rob Usry of Dirty South Soccer to get the low down on Atlanta. We talk about their strategy in the expansion draft, their defense, and the trades that they’ve made so far. We also discuss their wealth of attackers, the youth on the team, and possibly signing Brad Guzan. We end with a discussion of Hector Villalba, Junior Burgos, and their new digs at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. We then welcome on Garrett Denney of E Pluribus Loonum to talk about our new friends in the frozen north. We ask him which team had a better expansion draft, before moving into a discussion of them bringing Christian Ramirez with them to MLS and their overall roster direction. We have to ask about the hiring of Adrian Heath too, before moving onto their NASL players, the trade for Johan Venegas, and whether or not they’ll get Miguel Ibarra back. Finally, we put Garrett on the spot and ask him which interloper United will be better this year. Give it a listen!

It is Tuesday, it is expansion draft day, and it is Filibuster day! Jason, Ben, and Adam start off the show by talking about the Richmond Kickers' new stadium deal before getting to MLS Cup and specifically how it wasn’t nearly as bad a game as people have been saying it was. We talk about the game itself and how Tosaint Ricketts completely changed it when he came on. We give cake or death to the last few players on D.C. United’s roster, including Marcelo Sarvas, Rob Vincent, and Travis Worra, before going into the expansion draft. We talk about the trades of Miguel Aguilar and Kennedy Igboananike, and what they meant for the 11 players that D.C. United was able to protect from Atlanta United and Minnesota United. Finally, we talk about the expansion draft writ large and who those two interlopers United might do. Give it a listen!

The Filibuster crew is back to talk about all things soccer. Jason, Adam, and Ben kick off the show talking about the MLS Cup Final this weekend, and we break down how Toronto FC got here after talking Seattle last week. We discuss each team’s defense, which will be facing imposing offenses, and we talk about who will be the difference maker for each team. We then get into talking about the re-signing of Steve Birnbaum, which evolves into a larger discussion about what we want to see done with targeted allocation money. In the second segment, we get into cake or death: We talk Kofi Opare, Jalen Robinson, Chris Rolfe, Alvaro Saborio, and Lloyd Sam and ask which of them we want back next year. And finally, we answer your questions! We talk about boats, D.C. United’s tactics, the expansion draft and Atlanta United’s signings, and Bill Hamid. Give it a listen!

No technical difficulties will keep us from you, dear listeners! Adam, Jason, and Ben are back to talk about bureaucracy in action!, with the D.C. Zoning Commission hearing a presentation from D.C. United last night. The big news is that the supporters’ section will be safe standing, but there are also still some complaints about the design of the stadium. We also talk about the US men’s national team and Bruce Arena, and what all of this means both for the USMNT and for the LA Galaxy. We also talk about what we would do if we were a three-man coaching triumvirate of the Galaxy (hint: nothing good). We then move into cake or death, talking Collin Martin, Luke Mishu, Patrick Mullins, Lamar Neagle, and Patrick Nyarko, all before talking MLS Cup playoffs as we get ever closer to the final. Give it a listen!

We have a super-sized episode of Filibuster for your Thanksgiving commutes, and that is our gift to you. We start the episode off with Jason’s misery about Maryland in the College Cup. We then dive straight into the news of Jurgen Klinsmann’s firing, which happened mere hours before we sat down to record. We all give our answers as to whether or not he should have been fired, talk about Sunil Gulati’s responsibility in all of this, and talk about the probably hiring of Bruce Arena and ask what will he do with the upcoming Camp Cupcake. We then move into the second segment with D.C. United news, including the great joy of Luciano Acosta’s re-signing. We then get into Goat or Fox, with Kennedy Igboananike, Jared Jeffrey, Alhaji Kamara, Taylor Kemp, and Chris Korb on the docket for this episode. We also ask how Klinsmann’s firing might affect the national team call-ups of D.C. United players. Finally, we get into tonight’s MLS Cup playoffs, previewing the all-Canadian Eastern Conference final between Toronto FC and Montreal Impact as well as the Western Conference final between the Seattle Sounders and the Colorado Rapids. Give it a listen!
