    DC United's Official Kebab Partner & Other Preseason News: Baltimore Announcement, MLS Cuts & the 4-4-2

    The boys are back and there's actual soccer to talk about. Ted and Jon break down DC United's 0-0 preseason draw against Portland at the Coachella Valley Classic — yes, it was actually broadcast this time. No bounty hunters with iPhones required. Up top: DC and Baltimore are cooking something. Jason Levien and the mayor of Baltimore are holding a press conference on February 12th. Next Pro team? Stadium land deal? An official Old Bay-flavored beer partnership? We speculate wildly. Then: MLS takes an axe to its Apple TV broadcast operation. A quarter of Spanish language talent cut, MLS 360 in Spanish gone, the wrap-up show gutted, and games being produced out of London. Ted has feelings about the league's inability to invest in content long enough for it to actually grow. Jon just wants the British-style highlight show back. On the pitch: Boribo hit the crossbar and looked like the real deal. Jackson Hopkins is roaming free as an 8 with a green light to create. Montaño and Karakawa are still works in progress. And the cameraman provided some of the commentary. We are thankful for whatever we can get.
