This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - do a live podcast from Peticolas Brewing Company Taproom to celebrate Buzz moving out of town. A live crowd spices it. For FC Dallas, there was a good/bad scrimmage win (over three 45-minute periods) against New York Red Bulls, missing some pieces. A 10-less formation, some poor build, but lots of goals. The Houston and Atlanta games are this week. So what's

This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - break down what they can from the very limited access of FC Dallas vs RSL. Then it's a vibe check on the state of the team about halfway through spring camp. And the big question, will FCD get a 10 or not? Dallas Trinity kicked off the second half with some new additions getting right into things. Maybe one more addition to come? And finally, the USL Premier

This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - check in on FC Dallas as the team heads to Portugal. Dan Crooke has an early camp training report. Then the trio plays secret agent to suss out who is in the overseas camp, and who isn't. Plus, a name has surfaced for a 10-target that might be worth paying attention to. Frankly, with the club being secretive, there's not a ton to talk about. Thankfully, Dallas

First, it's FC Dallas with a new wing-back on the way, and that signifies a couple of things. Perhaps most of you will want to hear what your hosts know about a playmaker.

First, FC Dallas is making some news, landing their first signing. So what's next, and are they really talking to a center back? How about a DP 10 or any other rumors? FCD also traded up to the 3rd overall pick in the SuperDraft. Dallas Trinity won again, this time on a Missimo goal; they're now up to 4th with one

It's the good, the bad, and the ugly. Much of it on repeat. Yes, 3-5-2; no, new center back, maybe some mids and forwards; "flexibility;" show don't tell; and much, much more.
