Even on the week of Christmas, Filibuster is here for you, your travels, and when you need to escape family. Adam, Jason, and Ben kick off this episode by talking about Steve Goff's interview with D.C. United managing partner Jason Levien. We talk about the size of the stadium, the surprisingly pernicious roof debate, the contract status of Perry Kitchen, and Marco Etcheverry in the D.C. Sports Hall of Fame. We then talk about MLS Live coming back next year, D.C. United's move to WJLA7, and finish up with a slew of awards: The Andy Award, the Donnety Award, and a lightning round of Cake or Death. Give it a listen!

It is a Tuesday morning, and Filibuster is back in its rightful place! Jason, Adam, and Ben start the show by diving into the offseason. We talk about Portland Timbers' move to sell Jorge Villafana and acquire Chris Klute, the way that Max Urruti got to FC Dallas, the neverending march of MLS expansion, and the new free GarberBucks that are floating around the league. We then talk about the US National teams' player of the year awards, the women's team and our love for Becky Sauerbrunn. We also talk about our picks for the first Benny Award this season, the Richie. We end the show by doing some Cake or Death on some D.C. United players, including Chris Pontius, and with a Twitterbox where we talk about how much United should pay to keep Perry Kitchen and how to attract soccer fans who are not MLS fans to D.C. United. Give it a listen!

Hello, friends! It is time for another episode of Filibuster with Adam, Jason, and Ben! We preamble by talking about a change we would like to see to the MLS playoff system, but we start the show proper by talking about D.C. United's new badge and our initial reactions to it. Spoiler alert: We like it! We then have to talk about MLS Cup, and it takes us longer to intro this segment than it does for Portland Timbers to score on Columbus Crew SC. We talk about poor Steve Clark, whether or not these teams will be the favorites to return next year, Adam Kwarasey, the out of bounds ball, and much more. We turn our eyes to D.C. United after the break and talk about the trades involving Chris Pontius and Lamar Neagle as well as the three players released: Facundo Coria, Michael Farfan, and Jairo Arrieta. We end with our Cake or Death series, in which we review the seasons of Sean Franklin, Markus Halsti, Jared Jeffrey, Taylor Kemp, and Perry Kitchen. Give it a listen!

Even in the offseason, the Filibuster crew is hear to shout words at you about soccer. Jason, Adam, and Ben start off by talking about MLS Cup and whether or not Don Garber is happy with this final. We talk about the draw of the game to wider MLS and soccer fans, and who has the advantage between Columbus Crew SC and the Portland Timbers. We then turn our eyes to D.C. United, and talk about the trade of Chris Pontius to the Philadelphia Union. We talk about the ridiculousness that is the Union front office as well. Then we analyze the potential Lamar Neagle trade to United, and then break down MLS's Best XI. We end the podcast with our verdicts on whether or not Andrew Dykstra, Fabian Espindola, and Michael Farfan should be back next year. Give it a listen!

Filibuster is back for your trip to wherever you are going for Thanksgiving, giving your ride or flight some much needed soccer. We start by talking about the MLS Cup Playoffs and, specifically, the Portland Timbers and FC Dallas. We talk about how Portland did to Dallas what Dallas wanted to do to them, how they made that role reversal work, the players that Caleb Porter will have newly available for the second leg, and whether or not FC Dallas can come back. We then talk about the New York Red Bulls and Columbus Crew SC, including the super-sub of Cedric, the nine second goal, how Columbus was able to frustrate New York's passing and pressing, and what will they do going forward. We then look at D.C. United, including the player season review articles that have gone up so far. We give our answers or whether or not Miguel Aguilar, Davy Arnaud, Jairo Arrieta, Bobby Boswell, Facundo Coria, or Nick DeLeon will be back next season. Finally, we turn to your Twitterbox questions! We talk about whether Ben Olsen will go after Mike Magee, who they should steal from teams with new coaches, and possible trade partners out there. Give it a listen!

We waited for Tuesday to record so we could watch the USMNT play Trinidad and Tobago, and was that ever a mistake. Jason, Adam, and Ben are back to talk about the USMNT and D.C. United, and we start by asking if there is any chance Jurgen Klinsmann is fired for what happened in the past two games (of course not). We break down what happened in the game against Trinidad and Tobago, ask whether the fire is still there for the players under Jurgen, and make wild comparisons to Steve Sampson. We then go into our D.C. United news roundup, and talk about the re-signings of Nick DeLeon and Alvaro Saborio, the sadness of Chris Rolfe cutting his hair, the PEPCO land swaps giving the District full control over the stadium site, and Jason Levien and Erick Thohir possibly investing in an NBA team. Finally, we go in depth on both playoff series that start this weekend without D.C. United, paying special attention to the New York Red Bulls versus the Columbus Crew. But, we also have some words about FC Dallas and the Portland Timbers, mostly asking Dallas to make up for the horribleness that was MLS Cup 2010. Give it a listen!

All good things must come to an end, and that includes D.C. United's 2015 season. Adam, Jason, and Ben are here to be your Virgil as we start the journey through the Divine Comedy that is the offseason. But first, we have one last D.C. United game about which to talk: we ask whether this was the right lineup for the game between United and the New York Red Bulls, whether Olsen could have or should have changed his system, and whether or not injuries should be a talking point. We also ask whether we should be talking about firing Ben Olsen, talk about Bob Bradley as an MLS coach, and the piteous state of D.C. United's scouting network. We then move on to talk about the upcoming qualifiers for World Cup 2018. We ask whether Bill Hamid will start, talk about the first-timers on the roster and specifically Darlington Nagbe. We also discuss who should start on the forward line and could Jurgen Klinsmann get fired in any scenario. Finally, we open up the Twitterbox to some D.C. United questions. We talk about whether Kofi Opare and Steve Birnbaum will force Bobby Boswell to the bench, whether Chris Pontius and Fabian Espindola will be back next year, wonder what do the teams left have that United doesn't, and ponder a 3-5-2 for DCU. This show contains 100% of your recommended daily value of soccer, so give it a listen!

Despite technology trying it's hardest, Adam, Jason, and Ben are back for another episode of Filibuster! We talk about the difference between D.C. United versus the New England Revolution and D.C. United versus the New York Red Bulls, as well as talk about the bad refereeing that almost led to Markus Halsti getting seriously injured. We then have to carry on without Adam and talk about how Pontius' injury affected the team, the second leg of D.C. United versus the New York Red Bulls, and D.C. United's road woes. We finish this section by talking about how D.C. United has to try something different than this 442 since they don't have Davy Arnaud and it hasn't worked against the MetroStars, as well as lamenting Michael Farfan's injury. We finish by talking about the rest of the MLS Cup Playoffs and then talk about the finalists for the MLS Awards, including Bill Hamid! Give it a listen!

It is Tuesday, and Filibuster is back and is sad. We have to talk about D.C. United's 5-0 demolition at the hands of Columbus Crew SC, and we start by asking if we can remember a worse performance by United. We also talk about whether United is the team that beat the Chicago Fire or the team that lost to Crew SC and what is the difference between those two extermes. Finally, we talk about what the defense needs to do against the New England Revolution, ask whether this game was screaming for Michael Farfan, and dissect how Jack McInerney fooled all of United's defenders. We then welcome on Jake Catanese of The Bent Musket to talk about tomorrow night's play-in game against the aforementioned Revolution. We talk about the Revs style of play, their streakiness over the past few years, and who will play right back for them. We also ask whether Teal Bunbury or Diego Fagundez will play and ask Jake how to break down the Revolution. Finally, we get into some playoff emphemera to close the show. Give it a listen!

Filibuster is a little late but always here for you. Adam, Jason, and Ben talk about D.C. United's 4-0 win over the Chicago Fire, and ask whether or not this was United's best performance of the year. We talk about Chris Pontius' goal, Shooter Kemp, and D.C. United's current form as well. We then talk about the playoff races overall: in the Eastern Conference it is pretty much all over, but there are some interesting permutations out in the Western Conference. We also hope Seattle invents tumbling out of the playoffs, because that would be fun. Finally, we talk about D.C. United's last regular season game against Columbus Crew SC. We talk about Perry Kitchen versus Wil Trapp, and talk about what D.C. United will need to do to go into the playoffs on a three game winning streak. Give it a listen!
