Red Bull Rant

Guess who’s back this week. Is it Dax McCarty returning to Red Bull Arena for the first time since he was traded away? No. Is it the New York Red Bulls who seemed to turn it around with two straight two goal victories? No. Did Ali Curtis somehow make his way back to the Red Bulls? No. Jason is back after a two week hiatus from the Red Bull Rant! Oh, there’s some talk of the Red Bulls’ winning ways...

What’s this episode about? Good question, because Jason is off again but has still been given the assignment of writing show notes. The New York Red Bull’s win against D.C. United of course is up for discussion. The upcoming match against the Columbus Crew. How to properly say Alex Muyl’s name has to be talked about, I mean, Truman put his name in the damn episode title. That’s all I guess, find o...

What was talked about on this week’s Red Bull Rant? That’s a good question since Jason, who wrote this episode information, wasn’t on the show this week. The New York Red Bulls’ loss to Orlando City is probably on the docket. The same goes for the upcoming match against D.C. United. After that, who knows? Most likely it’s total anarchy.

How bad was the New York Red Bulls’ 4-1 loss to the Houston Dynamo? The game brought up more questions than answers. Can the Red Bulls offense actually score more than one goal per game? Will the backline ever not suffer an injury during a match? Will #WTFotis become a top trend on twitter? Can the Red Bulls stop what appears to be a sinking ship? Was Wrestlemania finally the time for Romain Reign...

Red Bull Rant 216: The Rotten Egg The New York Red Bulls hosted a Real Salt Lake team that just fired it’s coach, and was missing some staters due to injury and international duty. So how do the Red Bulls handle it? By giving up a %$#^& 0-0 draw at home. Maybe the Red Bulls can bounce back against the Houston Dynamo? Will the return of Sacha Kljestan help the midfield and get the team into scoring...

Well, so much for the undefeated start. The 3-1 loss to the Seattle Sounders was not so great, but at least it’s early in the season. The New York Red Bulls at least get to experience some home cooking when they host a Real Salt Lake team that fired their head coach three weeks into the season. Can they take advantage of the turmoil? Or will international departures be too much to overcome? Meanwh...

Are the New York Red Bulls really undefeated to start the season? Please tell me this isn’t a joke, I can’t handle it after that CONCACAF Champions League debacle. It really happened? Oh, it was via another own goal? Well, I’ll take it anyway I can get it I guess. Can the Red Bulls keep it going when they travel to Seattle and take on the defending MLS Cup Champions Seattle Sounders? Which Seattle...

Jay is off this week and leaves Truman and Pat to run the madhouse. This week they discuss the matches in Vancouver and Atlanta as well as look at roster moves and ahead at the match against Colorado. The Dumping Ground and more.

2017 has officially started for the New York Red Bulls. They kicked it off by hosting the Vancouver Whitecaps in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinals. What did they do with the opportunity? They let Vancouver walk away with a 1-1 draw and an away goal advantage. They’ll have a chance to turn it around on Thursday when they head to the Pacific Northwest for the second leg. A...

First it was Dax McCarty being traded to the Chicago Fire. Now, it’s Ali Curtis and the New York Red Bulls “mutually” agreeing to part ways. Is there going to be any more movement of big names out of the Red Bulls’ camp? Well, no time to dwell on those no longer with the team we suppose. The Red Bulls have already had preseason matches against New York City FC, the New England Revolution, the Port...

It’s been a quiet few months since the New York Red Bulls bowed out of the playoffs against the Montreal Impact. Maybe the Red Bulls would be making some moves to improve, especially since they are in the knockout rounds of the CONCACAF Champions League. Right? ...Right? Please tell me I’m right. No? Oh, I guess that’s great… Did they at least announce some offseason plans so I know when to watch?...

Dax McCarty is gone. The New York Red Bulls have traded him to the Chicago Fire for $400,000 in allocation money. The Ginger Ninja is no longer the captain of the Red Bulls and that makes us sad. The Red Bull Rant boys recorded a special episode to talk about the news after it broke. They read reactions from twitter and e-mail while supplying their own take on the news. Can they wrap their heads a...

The New York Red Bulls season ended in the beginning of November. A few weeks of self reflection was needed before the Red Bull Rant boys would be ready to take a look at the 2016 season. Well, that time has come. The guys sit down with not one, but two guests to look back on the year that was in 2016. First they talk to Matt Doyle, the Armchair Analyist of mlssoccer.com while discussing the Red B...

Welp, that was fun wasn’t it? Jason was lucky in that he didn’t have to watch this game since it got spoiled, but man, what a rough two hour stretch. Thank you New York Red Bulls. Thank you for once again getting to the playoffs and failing to deliver. Thank you for not showing up in Game 1. Thank you for at least pulling the band-aid off early though so we can enjoy the rest of November and Decem...

The New York Red Bulls entered the 2016 MLS Playoffs as the top team in the Eastern Conference. Going off of their first match against the Montreal Impact, you wouldn’t know it. In a series where away goals are almost counted double, the Red Bulls, and every other higher seed in the playoffs, did nothing with that. A 1-0 loss to Montreal was not a good result to the first round. Can the Red Bulls...

The New York Red Bulls are off to the playoffs, and they are off there with a two to nothing goal win over the Philadelphia Union in their final match. Oh, the Baby Bulls also took care of business against Swope Park Rangers in the USL Cup Finals with a major 5-0 victory. Brandon Allen was a tour de force as he also took home the USL Cup MVP Honors. The MLS side though can’t bask in the success of...

It was yet another busy day for the New York Red Bulls organization. The MLS side got some wonderful help from former member Lloyd Sam and the worst team ever, D.C. United, who beat out New York City FC, handing first in the East to the Red Bulls. Of course, that alone wouldn’t be enough. The Red Bulls took care of their own business (barely) when they took Columbus Crew SC from the playoff pictur...

The New York Red Bulls were off this week, but a few players were on international duty, with Sacha Kljestan seeing a lot of playing time with the United States. Oh, the baby bulls were having an exciting time of things in the USL Playoffs. A few lead changes. A penalty kick in Extra Time to force penalties, and a wild miss to see New York Red Bulls II through into the Semifinals with a chance to...

So the New York Red Bulls had a match against the Philadelphia Union. They came back from a goal deficit, gave up a one goal lead, then won the game. It was an exciting affair for all involved, well, unless you are a Union fan but whatever, you have to live in Philadelphia, so a loss is still a win. Meanwhile, New York Red Bulls II continued their fantastic form in USL, dispatching Orlando City B...

Hey, that Roy guy is pretty good! Wait, his name isn’t Roy Miller? What’s his name, Daniel Royer? Well, I guess that’s good, as long as he doesn’t put a free kick into the upper deck, he can call himself Roy all he wants, especially if the team manages to not drop a 2 goal lead. Granted, they never had a 2 goal lead against the Montreal Impact, but still, it’s an improvement. Oh hey, the New York...

On the heels of the Red Bull Rant live 200th episode, how did the New York Red Bulls celebrate? With a 3-3 draw which included a blown 2 goal lead! It really is impressive how thoughtful the players and coaching staff are. They obviously don’t want us to gush over a win, they really want us to live up to the “Rant” part of our name. I mean really, 6 draws in their last 12 games came from dropping...

The New York Red Bulls are undefeated in 11 games! However, they have blown leads in 5 of those games, including their latest, giving up a 2 goal lead in stoppage time to D.C. United. Would the CONCACAF Champions League match against Alianza be any better? Pat & Jason found out during a special live episode of the Red Bull Rant to celebrate episode number 200. What did they talk about? You won’t h...

A win on the road? Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? It may have been because of a fluky goal, but a win is a win, and the New York Red Bulls officially have their second road win of the year. Now it’s time to get back home and hate on a struggling D.C. United and returning Lloyd Sam. Sacha Kljestan had a great time on vacation with the United States Men’s Team during World Cup Qualifie...

The New York Red Bulls can win a close game? I mean, it's great when it happens against the New England Revolution, but can they do it on the road against the Vancouver Whitecaps? Can they finally get another road win? Can they do the job without MLS Most Valuable Player candidate Sacha Kljestan? Oh, they'll also be missing Kemar Lawrence. Finally, the guys have a big announce about their upcoming...

What's worse than a 2-2 Draw on the road? A 2-2 draw against D.C. United. To make it even worse, the New York Red Bulls gave up the draw in all of a three minute span. At least they have a home game coming up. At least they can win those. Oh, it's also against the New England Revolution, who are not having a great 2016. Hopefully some home cooking will get them back on track for the playoffs. Musi...
