Some of you may remember back in 2008 we did a video celebrating Taylor Twellman’s 7th (28th, really) birthday, as it was a leap year and he only gets a “real” birthday every four years. Well, during that video shoot, captain Steve Ralston complained that no one did a birthday video for him, and that his birthday was on Flag Day, etc.

Well, Steve, be careful what you wish for. Without further ado, we present a birthday video tribute to you. Happy 35th birthday, Rally! Click here to watch!

After taking two days off to recover from Saturday night’s grueling victory over D.C. United, the Revs were back in action on the training field today as they prepare for another rivalry showdown with the New York Red Bulls on Sunday night at Gillette Stadium.

Present and participating in today’s activities was Taylor Twellman, who was eager to get back on the field after playing 65 minutes on Saturday night to mark his first competitive game action in more than seven months. We caught with up Taylor to ask him how his body reacted to the game and today’s training session.

Check it out!

Watch as Matt Reis and Jeff Larentowicz (Team SoCal Born) take on Jay Heaps, Mike Videira and Darrius Barnes (the Dukies) in answering six random trivia questions after training this past Thursday. As you can imagine, there were some funny outtakes to this one as well, which we’ll have for you on youtube on Monday.
