We were kicking around ideas on how to properly highlight Diego's Valentine's Day birthday here on The Post, and this just seemed fitting. It was either this or "Seventeen" by Winger, but that song was written over ten years before Diego was born. Feel old yet? I do. Happy Birthday Diego! And to anyone out there who celebrates their birthday on this day of love, happy birthday to you, too.
UPDATE: Matt Reis had his own special way of wishing Diego a happy birthday following today's training session:
Yours truly, Jeff Lemieux and Cathal Conlon (minus JWro for today, who is unfortunately out sick) along with Kevin the producer bring you the first Far Post podcast of 2012 today. Give a listen below. If you want more, check out older episodes here, and be sure to subscribe on iTunes.
As you may have noticed in visiting our new blog, there's a little tab up there for "The Far Post." This section of the blog goes hand-in-hand with the Far Post podcast, which returns tomorrow.
In the meantime - cat videos! No really, check out this cat invading the Liverpool-Tottenham match last night. We've only had one cat experience here at Gillette (to my knowledge), and that was during our first-ever shooting of Revolution Gameday in 2010. Sadly, he was too fast to get on video.
In case you missed our final video from Casa Grande (Video Update: Jay Heaps), coach Heaps tried to throw Jeff Lemieux off his game a bit.
Jay Heaps, Jay Miller and Ryan Guy talked the players at Grande Sports Academy last weekend about what it takes to reach the pros. (Video via Grande Sports Academy)
Just like his fellow countryman and teammate Kenny Mansally, Gambian Sainey Nyassi is entering his sixth season with the team. And just like Kenny did last Friday, Sainey today celebrates his 23rd birthday.
Sainey shares his birthday with musician/actor Justin Timberlake, actress Minnie Driver and MLB legends Nolan Ryan & Jackie Robinson. And of course,
Sainey shares his birthday with Montreal Impact midfielder and twin brother Sanna.
Do you share a birthday with Sainey Nyassi? If so, happy birthday!
Kevin Alston checks in from Casa Grande, Ariz. for the third and final time.
Veteran Revolution midfielder Kenny Mansally is entering his sixth season with the team. Despite his tenure with the club, Kenny turns a mere 23 years young today.
Kenny shares a birthday with comedian/actor Patton Oswalt, actress Bridget Fonda, NFL analyst Cris Collinsworth and the one and only Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Do you share your birthday with Kenny? If so, happy birthday!
