FuegoCast

We discuss the NEWZ of the last few weeks. Rudy tries to improve his microphone, we DRINK THE HONEY for Frank, Ellen makes her jokes, staff talk galore, Nick hangs out, Gregg threatens to fancast about Natalie Portman??

The gang is back to discuss the new leaders of the Fire and throw gloves. We get real goofy about track suits, Fiats, Stoitchkov, celebrate the demise of Veljko along with a whole bunch of other stuff. 

Everything you wanted? 

Well, this is it. The gang returns for the last time to talk about the emotional toll of the 2018 season overall, break down the Nelson Rodriguez press conference, look at the mid-season conflict between the supporters and the front office, decide whether Veljko Paunovic warrants a return to the sideline next season, and dust off Rudy’s Keep/Drop Catapult one last time.

Thanks again to everyone who listened, subscribed, messaged, tweeted, and heckled over the years. We’re glad you were along with us throughout the journey.

And special thanks to the other members of the panel who gave the best analysis, perspective, humor, and filth we could ask for. The show wouldn’t have been the hilarious success without you all.
