- Ross O'Donovan first created Gameoverse back in like 2008/09 and is finally able to make a full series for it nearly two decades later. That’s insane to me. It predates so much internet culture. Looking forward to this from @glitchprod.com.

- Can I pay a Tampa Bay Rowdies fan to get me goal scorers and details from today’s friendly against New York City FC at Al Lang? I know that there’s ways to watch lol. Major League Soccer teams hiding preseason is one of the most extra parts. #NYCFC #RTID
- Latest episode of the @seeingredny.bsky.social w/ @markfishkin.bsky.social & Daniel Rebain, talking Red Bull New York preseason. Shoutout to Sarasota Paradise on their preseason win, jump to USL League One, & the performance of former Manhattan SC goalkeeper Alex Sutton. Full pod below ⬇️ #RBNY

- Sounds like an MLS keeper to me. We have Matt Freese at home. #RBNY
- Uhhhhhhh Wow okay! This is a big one? Ethan Horvath would be more than a solid piece for Red Bull New York! lol My main concern is he’s losing out on valuable preseason right now but it’s not the biggest deal. #RBNY

- Red Bull New York loses to USL League One expansion side Sarasota Paradise, 3-1. Andy Rojas with the lone goal, assisted by new #RBNY signing Cade Cowell. Will say, good for Sarasota. Lost 6-0 to #NERevs on Saturday. First win as a pro team for the former USL League Two group. (Graphic by RBNY)
