Buck: “I’m not going to answer that.”

With a shift south, the storm will not materialize as thought the past couple of days. Will have some updates in the next few hours, but key points are later start tomorrow, no intense hours of snow bands, less accumulation. AM commute may actually be dry.
Multiple sources tell me Carles laid into the group at halftime and was seen complaining about the team’s current form to Union’s Alejandro Bedoya and
@CBSSportsGolazo
analyst Charlie Davies.
More coming later.

Sorry, but this looks horrible on the league. Bruce was literally forced to the sidelines with no real public answers on what happened. Meanwhile, Wagner is likely playing in Gillette this week.
Again, it’s stunning how bad this looks on MLS. If you’re Onalfo, Peay and Billelo,
Greetings from Chester. There’s still no verdict on Kai Wagner, and he’s still a regular participant in Union practice.
I am just the messenger…

Sounds like a couple of interesting behind the scenes altercations happened the other night at halftime and after the

For as long as I live, I will never forget a certain, recognizable

Connecticut is awful. Doesn’t matter the time of day, or year, it is a wasteland of traffic hell. Inexplicably and for no reason what so ever. I hate 95.

Plan accordingly for Saturday, I was told last night the

Question for

to ask for Caleb Porter this week: Did you tell Ryan Spaulding he sucks in front of the team during training several weeks ago? I’d ask but, well, you know.
#NERevs
Fwiw: It’s been a week and we still don’t know what’s going on with Bruce.
Because SportsHub and WEEI don’t care about the

It is a problem there has been no answers. And yes, your local beat people have been working the phones everyday.

So at what point do people in New England demand answers from MLS about the Bruce situation?
How much more losing needs to happen before people start to ask, “what happened to my perennial championship club?”
This is a staggering collapse of a once great franchise.

I’m told Kevin Hitchcock had his option picked up and will be returning with the

There's still much to be accomplished during the Bruce Arena Era, but you have not been let down at all since this regime arrived. From the bottom of the East in 2019, to Kings of the Conference 2 years later. Quite possibly the most consequential season in club history.
