What They're Saying

"I want to apologize for my comments after our game on Saturday night against Kansas City. I was still caught up in the heat of the match. I regret implying that we were looking for payback. I know my comments don't reflect the feelings of my teammates or the club."

-- A statement by New England midfielder Shalrie Joseph released by the club. During the Revs' game against Kansas City, Khano Smith was red-carded for a foul on Hercules Gomez, who earlier this month delivered a tackle on Rev Steve Ralston that broke Ralston's right fibula and ended his season. Joseph told the Boston Globe that "we definitely wanted to give him [Gomez] payback and make him know we didn't appreciate what he did to Ralston."
