Thanks for confirming my suspicion on the authenticity of the jersey. It was great seeing you back in the kit @BMcBride20. #CrewSC #Crew96

@ESPNRefNHL @FinnMcCoolOH @Aportzline Hostage? 🤔

@FinnMcCoolOH @Aportzline Agreed, but Garland took the 'Canes player's arm hostage for 40'. There could have been a delayed penalty for holding before he gets thrown to the ice.

In what world is this still not egregious? Garland is trying to turn around and Blake picks him up, has him parallel to the ice, and slams him to the ground. But why #CBJ fans are so pissed is because we’ve seen way less get called on the #CBJ for 25 straight years now.

@SkeletonCrew96 @_Pat_Murphy @tbez10 @HSHCrew is so back

@_Pat_Murphy What is Hudson Street Hooligans doing with @tbez10 ? New supporters group leadership?

Since I keep getting asked about the rumor of Tim Bezbatchenko returning to #Crew96, here is what I can say. It sounds like something is going on between Bezbatchenko and HSH. How far along discussions are or what exactly that role is, I don't know. Seems like there may be some family reasons for the Bez family looking to return to the U.S. from what I've gathered. To be transparent, it's the middle of Ohio State spring practice and that's been my focus. But I was getting a lot of questions about this topic. I will say, it doesn't sound like this will make a major impact on the Crew. I know Issa Tall, Bez's hand-picked successor, has come under scrutiny from fans, but he is highly respected and was a major player in the moves that made the Crew successful over the last three seasons (more than most people probably realize). I'm taking an educated guess that if Bez does return, it will be overseeing more than just the Crew for HSH and not in a similar role to the one he left in the middle of the 2024 season. Hope that's helpful for inquiring minds.

@DegenerateTBone, @1Tyvis is a rookie who thinks he is a vet when it comes to “doctoring up” popcorn when talking about using a straw for butter. Miss me with the butter straw and probably not throwing it away. Have them fill it up half way, get butter then have them fill it up!

@DegenerateTBone @BoneAndTyvis971 In the years I worked at a movie theater I can count on one hand the amount of times I saw someone walk in purely to purchase something (popcorn? Maybe a drink too) at the concession stand.

@_Pat_Murphy @_felipinhof99 Hey Pat, remind me who the owners of the Crew are….. (That is not to say that they would want or be willing to pay, that’s a COMPLETELY different subject)

They could not. Just because you can pay whatever above the salary cap doesn't mean teams can spend unlimited money. Gazdag's salary at the end of last season was $2.6 million. Casemiro is on $18.2 million. As for him being able to play in MLS, he could certainly do it. But is running has drastically declined the last two seasons. It has been an issue for United, so much so that they've signed multiple other players to cover. With United playing so few games this year, it hasn't been as big of an impact, but it was. The physical toll of MLS is different than most leagues. For one, players kick and foul more (even if it's not called). Plus, there's the travel demands that don't exist in top European leagues. I've talked to multiple players/coaches about this. He may be able to contribute because he's a great, but his physical decline is concerning. It doesn't matter because it's not happening.

#Crew96 can't afford Casemiro's reported contract ask. Hell, Manchester United isn't willing to pay him beyond this season unless he takes a pay cut and he's arguably been their second-best player this season. Frankly, I'm not sure I buy LA or Miami (especially Miami) being able to afford him unless he just wants to live in those cities. The final thing is, he's 34 and can't do a lot of the physical things asked of a No. 6 any more. It's part of the reason United aren't willing to pay him as much to stay. The Gomes addition was a bit of a surprise at 32. The Crew has a clear track record when looking at international players. It was a silly rumor in the offseason and it definitely ain't happening now. The Crew signed their central midfielder.

Good to see @PROreferees have not gotten any better this year… in fact they may have gotten worse. Fix this issue @thesoccerdon like you said you would 10 years ago #MLSrefsSuck

@ouncesback @OnyxOdds @TheDunkCentral @speakeasytlkshw @TheNBABase Get back to me when Caitlin Clark has her own video game that lasts for decades

@OnyxOdds @TheDunkCentral @speakeasytlkshw @TheNBABase No disrespect to Tony Hawk but that’s a bad answer considering like quadruple more people know CC

@MLSicko Jabroni 😆😆😆 You DON’T have to. I don’t have a strong take either way on him BUT he could make a great signing while still leaving a lot to be desired and thus having people want him out. It’s really not that hard to comprehend.

Pick one Jabroni

@MLSicko How dare the fan base have standards. Both can be true by the way… he may have cooked with a signing and still have the same people want him out.

#Crew96 sign Gomes. #crew96 fans ISSA COOKING LETS GOOOOOOO 1 point outta 6 to open the season with two road games. #crew96 fans “ISSA BAD BOY FIRE HIM NOW” @ColumbusCrew still the worst fanbase in @MLS Get a grip.

@TristanBallar13 @crewshiesty @Garyskingdom The fact that that one series win in the playoffs is all you need to think you’ve done something says it all. It’s too easy. Hang the banner. Enjoy the season.

@PirateOctopus @crewshiesty @Garyskingdom kings of Ohio but have a worse atmosphere and lost 1st round 🫢

Hey Iran, Here is the location of all the US’s bombs. Do your thing

@NYCSportsAddict Instead of typing all that just tell us you haven’t looked at his stats or watched him play next time.

So many people are misunderstanding this post. He’s going to be a very good NFL safety. You just cannot take a “very good” safety top-5 in any draft. He needs to be absolutely special and a truly generational prospect. The positional value is too crucial for anything less that high.

Caleb Downs likely fell out of the conversation at Pick 5 after today. - 30.25” arms are really bad - 73.25” wingspan is really bad - Sub-6’0” tall isn’t ideal - Posses 0 standout athletic traits and ducked the combine These things on their own aren’t that concerning for his stock as a ‘generational’ safety prospect, but put them all together and it definitely damages his stock a lot.

@TristanBallar13 @crewshiesty @Garyskingdom Not kings of MLS, just Ohio

@PirateOctopus @crewshiesty @Garyskingdom acting big? that’s so hypocritical as you guys act like the kings of MLS because of cups 😂 you know damn well if the Crew one you’d be acting the same way 😭 do you not remember the way your fans were talking after game 2? not a brag, just a reminder. keep them tears coming tho

@TristanBallar13 @crewshiesty @Garyskingdom Keep acting big and telling people to take or “accept L’s” and I’ll be over here laughing at how you’re bragging about beating the worst Crew team of the past 3/4 years AT home. Hang the banner my man. Hang the banner.

@PirateOctopus @crewshiesty @Garyskingdom ok and if it was still just one game like it used to be than FCC is still advancing. just accept the L

@TristanBallar13 @crewshiesty @Garyskingdom The fact that Columbus even pushed it to game three is more of an inditement on FCC than it is Columbus but go on

@crewshiesty @Garyskingdom all them cups and still couldn’t finish the job 1st round 😭

@RhinoRoberts Like moths to a flame… they just can’t help themselves

🔮 🔮 🔮

@ChrisDoran18 Are we not counting Crew 2 or the Eagles? 🤔

THIS is incredibly exciting - potentially 2️⃣x the ⚽️ fun in Columbus!

@NORMAN_WILLIAM3 @NewEraCap @Seahawks @NFL @nflnetwork @espn I will gladly buy that hat from you

Hey thanks @NewEraCap you guys are doing a bang up job. Glad I ordered directly from you. @Seahawks @NFL @nflnetwork @espn #SuperBowlLX #nfl #dipshittery

@jennyofohio No!!!

Welp. Never leaving my house again.

@TaylorTwellman As someone that isn’t a facilities expert could SKC have been picked primarily because of their location?

And yet @SportingKC facilities were chosen by Argentina and England. The facilities in KC are next level and deserve a mention here if not THE mention.

@bfbqbgurumeat @RodObed @OhioTate It’s cute that you think I care. Let alone care enough to scroll through your tweets to see where you stand on this. Hope you’re having a good day!
