Rowdies fans are part of the soccer experience

July 25, 2016 Rowdies

Monday, 6 a.m. I have a confession to make. Deep inside, in a part of me that I don’t talk about much, I want to be a mobster. I want to chant, and I want to sing, and I want to pound the big bass drum. I want to dress in green and gold and […]

Adu makes his debut late in the Rowdies’ defeat

July 25, 2015 general

Saturday, 11:55 p.m. It took 76 minutes of waiting for Freddy Adu to make his debut. The grin, however, was instantaneous. No one knows how much of an impact Adu will make with the Tampa Bay Rowdies. No one knows if he will return next season. No one knows if this is the home he […]

Three major league baseball All-Star games. Three NHL All-Star games. They stood shoulder to shoulder in the recent snap. Evan Longoria. Gerald McCoy. Steven Stamkos. You could not help but […]

Rowdies win big, finish spring in 2nd

June 14, 2015 general

Sunday, 1:34 a.m. The Rowdies did their part, winning by three. The Cosmos, however, would not cooperate.
