    Jake and Trey are back at the tail end of silly season, talking practical signings and practical kung fu!

    Dec 17 2025

    It's over/under time, the MOST wonderful time of the year! Break out your scorecards and work through the season with us. Where did we go wrong? Where did we go right? And where did we go home? But before that, Jake & Trey have more to say about sporting directors, signed and unsigned contracts, and the future of New York City FC. Plus a fond farewell from the most fun season in years. Thank you to everyone who listens and double-thanks if you ever wrote a review or dropped a dollar in the tip jar. We'll see you in 2026! *Blue Balled Acquaintance Be Forgot...*

  • Episode 32: S11E32: PART 1 - Two Worlds, One Cup
    Dec 15 2025

    It's the season wrap-up, Blue Ballers! Jake & Trey review the eastern conference final flame-out against MLS' Miami monster before they similarly routed a top-shelf Vancouver to take the cup. But there's plenty else to talk about: World Cup draws and World Cup prices, broadcast rights and wrongs, and MLS joining the big kids table with a fall-to-spring schedule. And coming soon in part 2: Santa's on his sleigh with a big fat bag of Over Unders! Maybe put the butt flap in front: you've got Blue Balls!

  • Episode 31: S11E31: DOOP, There It Isn't!
    Nov 26 2025

    Folks, we didn't think we'd be here. But you know what they say: when men make plans, Maxi Moralez laughs. A 1-0 victory over supporters' shield superstars Philly Union has given NYCFC the keys to the eastern conference finals, and your boys in blue are breaking it all down for you. We talk why the squad's goal was #squadgoals, the magnificent Maxi, False Nine Nico, transition positions, Jansen's triumphant triage, and more. Plus a check-in with league winners Gotham FC and a precap of the Messi we have yet to clean up. Careful around that gravy — you've got Blue Balls.

    Nov 12 2025

    It took yer boys three goals, too many yellow cards, and one fallen soldier, but NYCFC is back in the eastern semifinals!! A white-knuckled ending to the Charlotte chronicle leaves NYCFC on top with a 3-1 victory. We chat Nico's wondergoals, performative Haaktivism, the Armchair Ignorance of Tayvon Gray, and the devastating consequences of Charlotte's concrete turf for perennial NYCFC protagonist Perea. Plus: Gotham FC's stunning upset and some potentially pessimistic predictions for Philadelphia. Eat your heart out, eastern conference: you've got Blue Balls!
