Well my friends our season ended last night with a 2-1 loss to Columbus in the conference finals. It is a tough one to swallow but my hat is off to the Crew. They are a good team and I wish them luck in the cup. I truly felt that we were going to win that game. We just had a 6 min period in the second...

Well we are into the second half of the season and it continues to go well. Through the last five games we have been flip flopping first place in the East with New England and the Crew. We are all keeping pace with each other. I have a feeling this will continue all the way till the end of the season...

Well my goalkeeper friends I am back off our win over Houston . We are now 3-0-1(wins,loses,ties). I have not played a first team game yet but the team is playing very well and Matt Pickens is doing fine, so I will have to be patient. I have played in 3 reserve team games and have played well. My knee...

Ok its time to get you all up to date on my crazy preseason. After being with the Crew for 5 seasons I have been on two new teams in the past 4 weeks.

Well my gk friends it has been a hell of a two weeks. I am sure by now all of you know that the Crew waived me a few days after we returned from Florida. This was a total shock to me, but it is behind me now so I will not rehash it all. If any of you need the details I am sure Chewie would be happy to...

I have been working out with some new fitness trainers for a few weeks now. A lot of our work has been on my goalkeeping fitness. A lot of explosive and power exercises, plyos, footwork and some sand pit work. I have really enjoyed the sand pit work because it is easy on the knee but really overloads...

Well I am back from some time off and ready to get back to work. The time away was good for me physically and mentally, I needed a rest. Now that I am refreshed it is time to get back at it. Yesterday I started working with some new strength coaches at a new workout facility that I was told about. I...

It is great to be back around the boys. All the hard work in the gym has paid off. I have a smile on my face again now that I can train....
