Extra time is exactly how I find out what's going on in the MLS.

Get off, get off.

Maybe this podcast has influenced me a little bit as well.

Everybody up here, every single day goes into the office, into the laboratory,

and try to cook up some great stuff for you guys.

That's why he's here.

Greetings folks and welcome to extra time. I'm your host for this one. Matt Doyle

joined by one of my many partners in soccer, the one and only Kalin Carr, rocking that East Bay, Oakland A's hat, Never Berkeley, always East Bay or Oakland, I like that. We are here to talk you through the start of

MLS regular season play in the wake of the League's Cup. We're here to talk to

you about the US Open Cup. We're here to talk to you about the U.S. Open Cup. We're here to talk to you about the Canadian

Championship. We're here to talk to you about Best 11 of MLS mascots that I know Kalin has been working very hard on for the past half hour.

You're shaking your head no, not a mascots guy.

Yeah.

I mean, I didn't even really realize we still had mascots in

nonetheless until pretty recently so but I'll try to pull I don't know if I can get

to 11 but I'll see how many I can get today. I know the Red Bulls just released a new man. I guess the Red Bulls mascot was their big signing of the summer window so that's good. They didn't let their fans down. They brought a guy who could put this team over the top.

But of course, my all-time favorite mascot

is Rapid Man.

I'm going to tell you, whatever 11 you come up with

for this team, Rapid Man is the guy in midfield pulling the strings.

He's the number 10.

Is this the one he had like dreads or I'm trying to remember what is rapid or is he bald?
