In Jim Brennan's post game interview posted on the TFC website, he makes a sarcastic comment to a reporter off camera...I wonder who that reporter was and what prompted the comment. Any ideas?

Note to Brennan: If a sports writer wrote a critical piece on the state of the team, immediately following a loss isn't the best time to call him out.

He's the captain. It's always his job to defend his team, win or lose

I'm not disputing that, I'm questing his timing. If you watch the clip, he kinda goes out of his way to get his dig in. He's not responding to or defending against comments made at the time, he's chosen that time to bring up something written/said in the (recent) past - chosing that time/place to do that seemed odd to me.

Two awesome goals by Javier Morales. This guy is out to prove that last season when he sucked was fluke

What was supposed to be the point of his ramblings???? Is this what passes as journalism now? Maybe he should have done up an article on why there was only a few hundred supporters there instead of a couple of thousand?

But then again it as the Sun!

I don't know if I'd say he "sucked" last year. But it was definitely Beckerman who was carrying the middle. Morales still had a decent amount of goals-assists. It was kind of comparable to what Guevara did for us last season.

He failed by his own high standards, but wasn't exactly bad.

6 goals, 15 assists in 08. 1 goal, 5 assists in 09

Totally!

Let's write a story about the fact that nothing happened in Columbus!

Great idea.

Man are they quick. The video on the website cuts off before the comment now. What did Brennen say?

Its still on there (at least I can see it)...he's talking about negative press and says "people are writing stuff about us" then he turns to someone off camera and says "right bud?" in a snide kind of way - drawing attention to whoever wrote the article and put him on the spot.

It's not a major incident, just a sarcastic comment but it struck me as odd.

I'm just curious of the context of it all...I wonder who the reporter was and what article he was referencing - odds are we've read it, just wondering what in particular seems to have gotten under Jimmy B's skin.

It was Wheeler. He mentions Brennan's comment in his own article.

Ah! Thanks...I tend to skip Wheeler's articles - I guess I'll read todays :D

Edit: where is the article? I don't see it on the Sun's website?

if it's Wheeler Brennan's talking to then Brennan's sarcasm is perfectly warranted. :)

I don't see anything from wheeler on the Sun website either. Not since the thinly veiled threat to stop writing about the team. I was kinda hoping he would too. Quit writing that is.

Just remember one very important thing. The Toronto Sun isn't a newspaper. It is a rag.

Defenders panicking even when they have time, forward pairings making bad choices because they didn’t expect their partner to show, a midfield playing quickly over the top to no one at the first sign of pressure, an inability to carry out the tactical plan. In short, Saturday’s first kick match.

And that one, without insufferable damage, is behind us.

The coach has been talking all along about being patient – often in the same breath proclaiming it has been a long preseason – and most people who care about the long haul are doing just that. What is bothersome though is it was also a long off season and it should not have come to this.

“Marvell was outstanding at centre back,” Smith was quoted on MLS’ official website. “He had a five-hour flight, a three-hour time difference and played out of position. I think he was the difference between us getting some points and not. He recovered very well on two or three occasions when mere mortals wouldn’t have got there.”

They love that he recovered now, but they'll soon hate the fact that he gets caught out on two or three occasions.
