I do think that this episode was a stain on Bufon. He was wrong. He should just come out and say,

I was wrong. And I don't think anybody begrudges him a moment of just losing his mind and emotion and passion.

We don't want that that to go away.

It's not an excuse for what he did.

I just thought it was a little bit much.

Hello, Sunshine, I'm Alexi Lai. I just thought it was a little bit much.

Hello Sunshine, I'm Alexi Lollis and welcome to the State of the Union Podcast where we look at the beautiful game on and off the field through the lens of red white and blue colored glasses.

As you heard, we will be talking about how and when the laws of the game are applied or should

be applied.

We'll have our Mossy Makes the Case segment.

We'll be answering your questions in our Ask Alexi segment. We'll also have

our World Cup Date segment and so much more. But as always joining me, my friend, my colleague,

my guiding light, David David Mossy a soccer

avant a fox soccer researcher and writer extraordinary

how are you David

i am good the jersey of choice today is a runaldum fluency Jersey. There's actually a

story behind this. You want to tell it or you just going to lay that out there? You did a

podcast for Fox before this one correct the mutant something? Yes I did yes and your sidekick was a young man

named Max Odenheimer yes who has since moved on he works in the front office of

LAFC but he was also briefly my assistant at Fox I was was something of a mentor to him, and he was so appreciative of my help that he bought me this jersey as a Christmas gift.

Now truth be told, this is actually a terrible gift.

I'm sure he figured Fluminante is my favorite team.
