Podcast (February 15, 2019) – Happy Singles Awareness Day Rapids Fans! This week on Holding The High Line, Rabbi is back in town for some work convention thing! So because our respective romantic lives are DOA, we recording a podcast. MLS jersey reveal season is in full swing, so we try to make a meal of that (and Dillon Serna at left back) given how slow the preseason has been.
Colorado Rapids Podcast: HTHL talks Dillon Serna left back experiment
We start off recapping the new jerseys released so far for the 2019 season. The guys discuss jersey design and trends in general, bag on the new RSL secondary kit (did the freaking printer break again?), and discuss what the Rapids new secondary kit could and should look like. Oh, and Red goes on a rant about why white kits are pointless.
The guys then try to talk about the Rapids loss to Toronto FC 2-0 earlier this week, breaking down preseason minutes, player decisions, and Dillon Serna at left back.

Matt Pollard is the Managing Editor of Last Word on Soccer and an engineer by day. A Colorado Convert, he started covering the Colorado Rapids as a credentialed member of the press in 2016, though he’s watched MLS since ’96. When he’s not watching or writing about soccer, he’s being an outdoorsman (mostly skiing and hiking) in this beautiful state or trying a new beer. For some reason, he thought that starting a podcast with Mark was a good idea and he can’t figure out how to stop this madness. He also hosts Last Word SC Radio.
Mark Goodman, the artist formally known as Rapids Rabbi, moved to Colorado in 2011. Shortly thereafter he went to Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, saw Lee Nguyen dribble a ball with the silky smoothness of liquid chocolate cascading into a Bar Mitzvah fountain, and promptly fell head over heels in love with domestic soccer. When not watching soccer or coaching his son’s U-8 team, he’s generally studying either Talmud or medieval biblical exegesis. Which explains why he watches so much MLS, probably. Having relocated to Pittsburgh in 2019, he covers the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL for Pittsburgh Soccer Now. His popular Back Pass column will feature at the Denver Post this season. He also writes for American Soccer Analysis.
