    5 Stages of Grief - Shades of Blue

    5 Stages of Grief - Shades of Blue

    It was an ugly end to a beautiful story this season for Sporting KC. We're back at it again with a quick reactions pod immediately following the 1-0 loss in Houston.
    But we wanted to create a safe space to vent and work through this. So Thad tries to walk us through the five stages of grief... although it might be too early for stage five.
    The handball, the missed chances, the substitutions... we're airing all the grievances this Festivus season.

    Talking protection list - Keeping Current

    Talking protection list - Keeping Current

    Thad Bell from the Kansas City Soccer Journal is joined by Daniel Sperry from the KC Star for a new episode of Keeping Current with Kansas City. With the expansion draft coming up in the middle of December, the expansion teams (Utah Royals and Bay FC) are making trades to start their rosters. The biggest carrot the expansion sides have to entice teams to make trades is protection from selecting a player in the expansion draft.
    The Current made a deal with Bay FC to send Alex Loera there in exchange for allocation money and protection. That still leaves Utah with the opportunity to select a pair of players, so a protection list of nine players is not easy to determine. Sperry and Bell take a swing at a rough cut, talking out why and in what order they would protect those players.

    Losing Loera - Keeping Current

    Losing Loera - Keeping Current

    Thad Bell from the Kansas City Soccer Journal is joined by Daniel Sperry from the KC Star for a new episode of Keeping Current with Kansas City. The big news was a trade between the Current and Bay FC sending Alex Loera from KC to Bay FC. Kansas City received $175,000 and protection from Bay selecting a player in the expansion draft.
    This would have been big news by itself but it seems that Loera was not happy with the process.

    We discuss.

MUST. LISTEN.

Back at it again! These guys are hilarious. It’s a great mix of comedy and serious analysis. Thad always being deadpan. Cody trying so hard to get Thad to break. David and Robert are so funny.

Best KC soccer pod

This pod is awesome, always a pretty chill, comical vibe going on. I appreciate the contrasting views from each person, and find solace in the shared misery we have for this team. Which is why I love that y’all play the whole song at the end of each pod. It’s on point lately.
