Heath

Count me among the many who wish Heath was back. He was great and his chemistry and connection to Jimmy and Charlie was palpable - and kept the other two honest.

civil tongue ,

Beautiful interview with Tristan Torbett

What started out as a Jamaica preview and discussion of the starting lineup turned into a beautiful beautiful interview. It was so impressive. How the boys treated Tristan like he was a member of the team. And at the end when they told him hope he scored more goals than Tyler, Adams, it was like the team kidding that goes on. And the laughter was so genuine and inclusive. Gentleman you did a great thing. 10 stars.

Bring back Heath

Jesse is bad
