TGIF: ODDS AND ENDS

It's Friday, so that means its the end of the work week and only one more day until the Red Bulls take on the Houston Dynamo on HDNet. Since today is traditionally a big Happy Hour day for most people, we added the above picture of what not to do when drinking. RBR did confirm that the fan was a college friend of Danleigh from URI, and Danleigh wanted to add that although he was happy to celebrate his marker with a close friend, he does not condone his friend's actions, and would discourage anyone from attempting to duplicate it.


Anyway, the club is looking to bounce back after its forgettable match last Sunday against Chicago against the two time defending MLS Cup champions. RBR caught up with some players to get their thoughts on the match:
