Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on HTHL, the guys banter about not caring about USA vs. Mexico. We recap a fourth positive result for the Pids and look ahead to a first ever meeting with St. Louis CITY on Saturday. The guys comprehensively discuss the changes to the front office over the last week. Did the suits just give themselves promotions and pats on the back now that there’s more money coming in? What is changing about the day-to-day operations of the club? Who are all these new hires and what do they mean? We discuss.

During the show, we discuss four separate press releases for the club. You can find those here, here, here, and here. Mark also brings up a piece he did awhile back on Fran Taylor.

About Us:
Matt Pollard is the Site Manager for 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 2017, he covers the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL for Pittsburgh Soccer Now.
