Podcast – Hello Colorado Rapids fans. Welp, those two draws were no fun. Welcome to Holding The High Line group therapy.
Red talks about his experience at NBC’s Premier League Mornings Live Denver. He pulled a few strings and got to interview Tim Howard. We feature that audio at the end of the pod.
Then we recap the 1-1 draw with San Jose Earthquakes and the 2-2 draw with Minnesota United. Rabbi breaks down at the Sayed Abu Farkhi violent conduct red card. The boys discuss big picture where this leaves the Pids in the playoff race. Are Sayed and Morgan Whittaker busts? And what do we think of the remaining schedule?
We give Darren Yapi, Paxten Aaronson, Donavan Phillip, and Georgi Minoungou their flowers.
Then we turn our attention to Portland Timbers.
