A Colorado Convert, he started covering the Colorado Rapids as a credentialed member of the press in 2016, though he\u2019s watched MLS since \u201996. When he\u2019s not watching or writing about soccer, he\u2019s 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\u2019t figure out how to stop this madness. He also hosts <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/soccer\/tag\/last-word-sc-radio\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word SC Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rabbimarkashergoodman.com\/soccer_rabbi\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mark Goodman<\/a>, the artist formally known as <em>Rapids Rabbi<\/em>, moved to Colorado in 2011. Shortly thereafter he went to Dick\u2019s 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\u2019s U-8 team, he\u2019s 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghsoccernow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pittsburgh Soccer Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo Credit: Mark Shaiken, Last Word on Soccer.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PODCAST &#8211; Hello Colorado Rapids fans!
