MLS in 30: Episode 48




Backheel Master Podcast Feed show

Summary: Garrett and Jon come to you from snowy Tucson and avoid discussing the weather-marred midweek Desert Diamond Cup matches as much as possible. Instead, they chat about the Sounders seeming to reverse course and trade for Shalrie Joseph, D.C. United signing Carlos Ruiz and a few other transactions as teams shore up their rosters before the season. Next, Tom Dart, a freelance writer whose work appears on SI.com and in The Guardian, joins the guys live in Tucson for a wide-ranging chat. It includes a discussion about MLS' growth plan and also touches on how to make the CONCACAF Champions League more relevant. There's also some general preseason chat mixed in. The show closes with a surprise but welcome appearance from FC Tucson PR czar Jose Bosch who tells fans why they should visit Tucson or at least watch the DDC Final on television. All that, plus a moment that makes Garrett declare, "This show is going to hell," on today's MLS in 30.
