Nos Audietis, Episode 30: Might Kasey Featuring Adrian Hanauer and Arlo White

Nos_audietis_05_medium

We recorded on Monday so this week's episode of Nos Audietis is pretty much about all the festivities surrounding Kasey Keller's final regular-season home game. And what a game it was. Not only did Sounder at Heart host a pretty awesome little get together, but the Seattle Sounders treated the fans to a pretty impressive comeback victory that allowed Keller's day to be a real celebration.

Speaking of the S@H event, we spliced in several clips from both Adrian Hanauer and Arlo White's Q&A with the group. The plan is to release an MP3 of the entire event sometime soon, but if you missed it, be sure to give this week's episode a listen in order to get some of the highlights.

Beyond all that, we discuss the various MVP credentials of several Sounders players and we of course take some of your questions. Just a reminder to give @NosAudietis a follow as that is the best way to get your questions answered on the show.

Mvp

Montero has to be the team MVP. I loves me some Rosales and Alonso but Montero is the only one whose absence in a lineup makes me think Sigi is dogging a game. Without Rosales we get Neagle w/o Alonso we get Evans or Carrasco. W/o Montero we get noonan or Jaqua!

MVP discussion

Good show as usual. I was a little surprised at how both of you seem to scoff at the idea of Alonso being a legitimate MVP candidate while heralding the “things that don’t show up on the stat sheet” for Montero’s lobbying. Be interested in hearing your thoughts on why you don’t rate Alonso’s contributions as highly. Is it a goals/assists thing? It’s good to support a club where we can debate who the MVP candidate should be!

For me it's an issue of which player is more easily replaced.

Alonso is fantastic, but there are two or three other players in the league (at the very least) that can give you close to what he gives you in terms of value. I’m increasingly convinced that there are zero players in the league about which you could say the same for Montero.

Ironically

That’s the exact reason I would put Alonso over Montero. There just aren’t guys that can cover as much ground, complete as many tackles, step in front of as many passes, turn it all into an attack, and provide a semi-legit outside shot threat. And while I totally respect the many great things Montero brings, there are closer proximations to him around the league.

Definitely a huge Fredy fan and always hated the nitwit commentary that he was lazy or whatever. I might even sing a different tune were it not for the early season wrist injury that seemed to affect his play, but Alonso’s uniqueness and his impact on games just seems a level above.

not to parrot aaron

but that’s basically it. I’m just convinced that Montero is more irreplaceable.

podbean sucks

We’re basically planning to switch hosts. This is ridiculous. It’s now working, but they don’t make it easy.

iTunes link works

but the Flash widget, and Download Link doesn’t. And since iTunes works, I didn’t bother with the RSS link, but just wanted to let you know.

Captain question

Mauro seems like the natural pick too, but in response to Aaron wondering why defenders seem to get the armband so often, it’s because everyone knows they’re the smart serious players. Strikers are the silly boys who dive and get bad haircuts. :)
