    3rd Degree the Podcast #260

    These are dark times indeed my friends.  On this week's episode of 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - still seek the way through. They try to bring some light to the tunnel of shame that is the current FCD season. Yes, "worst season ever" watch continues. Were there any bright spots against the Rapids? How is the health of the team? Is "The Jesus" back? Any good signs in training? Has the coach lost the team? What should we expect versus Houston?  How does undefeated North Texas SC's 3-4-3 compare to FCD's?

    This episode of 3rd Degree the Podcast is dedicated to Jim Feldman. Rest in Peace, my friend. - BuzzThis week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - try their best to break down one of the most boring games in memory, the 0-0 draw against Seattle Sounders.  Is there much good to talk about other than Asier Illarramendi?  Sure, defense... but does anyone on this team have a clue how to score?  At least the club is getting healthy... ok, healthier... with Jesus Ferreira and Marco Farfan back in training. Then Nkosi Tafari was left out of the XI again? Buzz brings some training talk and Coach Nico discussion with the Rapids up next.  Plus Antonio Carrera started for North Carolina in the Open Cup.

    This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Buzz Carrick and Peter Weltpon (that wiley Dan Crooke got away again) - are forced to dissect the game at St Louis including the Nkosi Tafari benching.  There are a couple of positives and negatives to chew on from that game.

    This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - do indeed want to chat about the Austin FC game (just a little) and they want to look ahead to St Louis City (just a little). But mostly they want to talk about how FC Dallas got here. What has gone so wrong this year and, honestly, all the way back to the middle of last year?  How did FCD end up with, just about, the worst team in MLS?

    3rd Degree the Podcast #255

    This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - are back together but the angst is real. FCD got smoked by Vancouver and there are lots of talking points. Musa, Ferreira, poor connections, shifting tactics, defensive frailty. But then there are macro season concerns too as this is the 3rd worst start in club history. Missing pieces, poor roster build, long-term injuries... and there might be a new one to worry about. Just how does this ship get righted?

This is the best podcast for FCD info

The Team of Buzz,Andy and Dan have lots of great information about FCDALLAS. I recently started listening to them again and will be a listening for a long time. If you want to know what’s going on with our Favorite Home team this is where to get the most info.
