United wins 2nd leg, loses on aggregate
The second leg of the CONCAF quarterfinals between DC United and LD Alajuelense left several players feeling black-and-blue afterwards. It’s not clear as to which was chillier, the weather conditions or the interaction between the two teams (six yellows issued on the evening). The Black-and-Red fell short of making history as they only won by one goal, 2-1. Still, it was a solid win after a horrible loss just days ago…

The Black-and-Red have an extremely tall task ahead of them tonight when they face Alajuelense at home at RFK.

With the franchise tags being handed out today, there’s a good idea as to who will be on the market in this year’s free agent class. There may be a few additional names added by then, but as of…
The NFL’s annual game of tag has begun
This is always an exciting day every NFL off-season, teams make decisions on whether to retain a player’s services or let them hit the open market. The players at hand must be considered ‘veteran’ players, usually players that are coming off of their initial rookie deals and are restricted free agents or unrestricted free agents.
