Episode 13: Adam and Jason’s Spooktacular Halloween MLS Playoff Preview

Web

The clock hath struck midnight on the MLS regular season and only 12 clubs have survived the bloodbath. Our Heroes provide their ghoulish predictions on who will come out alive and who will be dragged to the fiery depths of hell. Will Sporting Kansas City transform when the moon is full? Will Mauro Biello’s unnatural creation come to life at Saputo? Will Carl Robinson’s children of the night feast on the souls of the living? The Young Gaffers answer all of these questions and more on this most devilish 13th episode. Also, we answer fan mail from Amy.

Episode 11: Yours Trulies

WebWherein Our Heroes dish out a veritable footballing feast of autumnal profundity. The British press falls for Jurgen Klopp (Haircut of the Week recipient) like newly changed oak leaves in the October breeze, we’re havin’ Don Garber’s vision like decorative gourds on a bountiful table, and Blatter, Valcke and Platini reap what they sow. Also, international injuries runneth over like a Horn ‘o’ plenty and the Canadian Soccer Association schedules a mid-week turkey.

You’ve got time to fix this, FIFA…


The Gaffers believe that irreverence can often be used to raise awareness of, and shine a light on, serious issues. Gafferdom carries with it a massive responsibility. This video was sent to us by a loyal and righteous Gafferino, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t share. It comes on the heels of the fantastic news that the FIFA Ethics Committee has announced the provisional suspension of Messrs. Blatter, Valcke, and Platini.
