From J to Z

Not sure what to do with yourself now that the construction cam is out of focus and most of the action is off camera? You MUST check out the new podcast form Zarek Valentin and Jeff Attinella. From J to Z is already 3 episodes deep in only 10 days. I hope they don’t burn out. Make sure you start with episode 1 where the guys talk candidly about the their experience in the MLS Cup. This is must-listen content if you have any interest at all in player personalities and what makes them tick, or peeking behind the scenes of the MLS experience from the vantage point of the guys on the field.
