Scott Palguta Memorial Depth Meter – Scott Palguta was a really bad player on the Rapids from 2009-2012, and he stuck around so long despite all the odds that we figured he would never leave. In his honor, we started up a depth chart rating based on how quickly the team was liable to reach Palguta-level players due to injury.

BENITEZ FACE – FC Dallas defender Jair Benitez makes really wacky faces while playing, many of which show up in Getty’s image archive. Expect to see several instances of BENITEZ FACE every time Colorado plays Dallas, and the original picture of Benitez pushing Jamie Smith away every time UZ gets an excuse.
