Gregg Berhalter’s session with the media Monday turned into a math lesson.
The Crew SC coach and sporting director began computing the points lost in the standings to late goals allowed by his club. In his mind’s eye he saw potential wins that became ties and ties that ended in losses. By the time his count stopped, the point total had reached nine.
“If you take away goals late in the 80s (minutes) and in injury time we’re probably third in our conference,” he said.
For a moment, Berhalter sounded like former Cleveland Browns coach Butch Davis trying to put a more positive spin on Jamal Lewis’ 500 yards rushing in two games against his defense in 2003.
