Been called “The First Fan of #NewYorkCityFC” (chronologically speaking)
I started organizing the Third Rail on Day One (5/21/2013), served as its 1st president (2014-15), & am still Member No. 0001.
Proud to have coined the nickname “Pigeons” #DaleNewYork
FUCK YEAH #NYCFC

You have any favorite films that are absolutely perfect… except for one scene? Like the director makes one mistake that just holds the film back, or undercuts the message, or spoils the film?

Just one scene in an otherwise perfect film you wish you could cut out forever and make everybody forget?

Dig that funky beer mug All-Star Game logo patch they’re wearing on their shorts (the game was held in Milwaukee)

Remember when the MLS badge was introduced, and we all customized it by putting things in that open space? Have to see if I still have those graphics somewhere.

The league even got into the act with the MVP trophy.

Some of these are pretty cool, though.

Still kinda bugs me that #MLS does this team personalization with the Apple TV logo, when the league logo is just CRYING OUT for it instead.

Because then where would he keep his keys?

On November 11th?

Seriously, Coca-Cola, get bent.

Make it so.

Oh HELL YES #NYCFC.

Well done, lads. #FlyYouPigeonsFly

Good they’re getting a team.

Terrible name, though. Been used before and it’s bad there too.

Saw Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein last night.

There a lot I loved about it, but there’s a choice in the final shot that really baffles me. Anybody who saw it want to talk about it?

I don’t even care that the sticker is red.

Oh yeah, #NYCFC. That’s what I like to see.

Now bring on the home playoff game.

Yes, Elmo. I am.

And I CANNOT WAIT.

I wonder what immediate impact wins and losses have on merchandise sales. Am I less likely to buy an #NYCFC tshirt today because I’m still smarting from Wednesday’s debacle? Would I be more likely to buy something if we had crushed them 4-0?

I’m sure the league stores track this.

Thank you for the push notification, but yes, I know. We’re on our way to Queens!

Saw this in the team store at the last #NewYorkCityFC match.

I love that #NYCFC is leaning into the pigeon. When I first suggested the nickname back in 2014, I had no idea it would catch on so wildly.

They are bedeviled by occasionally sloppy play and bad communication holding them back. We still have a couple pieces to fill in. Mostly it feels like they need some time to come together.

With a couple signings and a little seasoning, they could be SCARY good. Just in time for the new stadium.
September 21, 2025 at 11:54 AM
Now this is a club. Well done, #NYCFC.
September 20, 2025 at 7:44 PM
You love to see it. #NYCFC
September 20, 2025 at 6:14 PM
OH HELL YEAH.

He’s a keeper.

This was my favorite of the four badges I pitched to the Third Rail.

Still very fond of it, and definitely use it for another Brooklyn-themed project in the future.

My favorite “Robert Redford movie that wasn’t” is Rosemary’s Baby. I love Cassavetes as a filmmaker, but he’s the wrong choice for the husband. Redford was apparently up for it at one point, and he would have been a MUCH better choice. Cassavetes plays the ending, Redford would have been a shock.
