#Pondcast: Nobody Fell Ill During the Recording of this Podcast
This week’s show necessitated a delicate balancing act. First with Spurs’ crushed silverware dreams, then the uplifting positivity from Gregg Berhalter’s debut as the U.S. men’s national team coach, and D.J.’s recent bout with the flu. But Jeremy managed to skillfully navigate through the discussion through all three topics on this week’s show without pushing his co-host […]
#Pondcast: He dosed that bird
With the English Premier League’s hectic festive period now behind us, if you were expecting things to die down for the #Pondcast… you thought wrong.

#Pondcast: Recorded Live from Quarantine
Despite picking up a nasty bug while in Chicago over the weekend, we managed to hold Jeremy to his weekly podcasting duties and pump out this week’s show — from an isolation chamber in his basement anyway. But even with great distance between them, the guys managed to rundown another big weekend of soccer on […]

That’s not to say you don’t ever see civic pride on display at NFL or MLB games. You totally do. Many of the fans who […]
#Pondcast: Drogba Always Pictured His Last Match in Kentucky
One of the legends of the game’s recent era will call time on his days as a professional footballer this weekend in Louisville, Kentucky. Just the way he pictured it as a child in the Ivory Coast, Didier Drogba will look to cap off his glittering career by leading his Phoenix Rising FC to an […]
#Pondcast: Thanks for the Memories
Last weekend’s domestic action takes center stage on this week’s episode of the #Pondcast, as D.J. and Jeremy dissect MLS Decision Day results and look ahead at the resulting MLS Cup Playoff matchups coming at us starting this week.
