Crew 1 – 0 DC: Does It Get Better than Ezra?
By: Jeff |
No Comments
Sorry. That’s not a serious question. Just a bad pun. As the Columbus Dispatch’s Crew Review notes, though, quoting Crew TV analyst Dwight Burgess, there’s something about the veteran defender, who is at this point the team’s leading scorer:
“He’s 400 years old and 12 feet tall.”
Since the Columbus Crew topped a visiting [...]
Crew v. DC United: Fear and Aggression
By: Jeff | 9 Comments
Melodramatic title, no? Over-dramatic? Maybe. But, when looking at this weekend’s game between the Columbus Crew and DC United, “fear” looms large.
As badly as I wanted to wait on MLS’s interns to post those comprehensive previews of the coming weekend’s attractions, it seems they’re a bit behind just now so I’ll start [...]
The Open Cup Loss – The State of Crew Nation
By: Jeff | No Comments
Having already noted my complete lack of first-hand knowledge of the Columbus Crew’s performance in their loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy in Tuesday night’s U.S. Open Cup play-in, I spent this morning seeing what I could learn from any of the 5,424 who took in this game live. Where I thought I’d learn [...]
We Have the Herron Suspension
By: Jeff | No Comments
Straight from the Major League Soccer (MLS) press release:
“The Major League Soccer Disciplinary Committee today fined Columbus Crew forward Andy Herron $3,000 and suspended him four games for violent conduct. New England Revolution midfielder Shalrie Joseph was fined $500 for lack of respect for the game.”
As one might assume from what I wrote here, I [...]
Crew Crashes Out of Open Cup…Worrying Signs
By: Jeff | 2 Comments
Without having watched this game, there’s not much more that I can do than let the record show that the Los Angeles Galaxy barred the Columbus Crew’s entry to this year’s U.S. Open Cup on the back of a single goal by forward Nate Jaqua. I may also note in passing that kinda sucks.
One [...]
U.S. Open Cup: Crew v. LA – Calling the Ghosts of ‘02
By: Jeff | No Comments
The Columbus Crew won a trophy once – to paraphrase Bull Durham, you can look it up. I only discovered this thanks to some digging Luis Bueno did in his U.S. Open Cup play-in preview over on LA Soccer News, but that kicked off a short search that revealed the details.
As Bueno notes, it [...]

By: Jeff | 5 Comments
Sure, this is a bit lazy, but I’m not about to bang out another (disgustingly) long, long examination of anything soccer-related today.
What I am going to do is link to the “power rankings” I cranked out for the league in the wake of Major League Soccer’s (MLS) Week 3. If you follow the link, [...]
Crew v. Revs: That Takes Care of Step 1
By: Jeff | No Comments
“Prove me wrong, you assholes.”
That’s how I closed out the still-later preview of last night’s game between the Columbus Crew and the New England Revolution and, happily, both teams did. Not only were there plenty of goals on offer, there was a dangerous elbow, aggrieved announcers, etc. etc. I can say with a [...]

By: Jeff | No Comments
Yeah, yeah, yeah…so I’m late. It’s not like you couldn’t read the official preview on MLSnet.com – that’ll be more thorough than what I’ve got below anyway.
OK, wait. Look, I’m sorry. Things have been complicated lately. So, y’know, it’s not you, it’s me. And all that. Dammit. I [...]
Columbus Crew Offside Contest + Schelotto + Perspectives = …
By: Jeff | 5 Comments
Serendipity. That’s what you have when a contest concept that’s been percolating in your head meets the lead from the report on the Columbus Crew’s latest, fancy signing:
“The wait is over.”
“Not for the Crew’s first goal of the season, but for the person who might score it.”
And there you have it: the basic concept [...]
