Semi-retired provider of Colorado Rapids coverage from the Mile High City for Burgundy Wave. Rapids STH. Full-time ranter on MLS, sometimes Arsenal, Forest Green Rovers, and just tired of the noise.
Again (here), I respect & thank Chris for standing up and reaching out to Matt in a sincere way, as well as sharing his honest feelings with @coloradorapidssc.bsky.social Nation. Chris is a good coach & a good dude, and I'll continue to appreciate chatting w/him both on- & off- the record. On to 26💪
Update: Chris Armas reached out. We spoke on the phone. He apologized. I accepted his apology. He posted a public apology on the other site.

Inbox: Colorado Rapids loan Jackson Travis to Birmingham City (USL Championship) for the rest of 2025. Birmingham are 3 points below the playoff like in the east. 10th place. Option to recall. It’s Sam Vines and Rafael Santos at left back for now.

Another great Rob Holding story - He already ticked a Red Rocks show off his bucket list, but unlike most was onstage singing along with Zach Bryan! “That was just singing! If he’d asked me to play (guitar) I’d have said ‘no chance!’. Just singing, that was good fun”. @coloradorapidssc.bsky.social

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

I think the Atlantic piece is probably the scoopiest scoop of the last few decades. And it has clarified one thing - other than the total idiocy of sending opsec over group chats - Hegseth and Vance have a genuine animosity towards Europe. Something for us all to ponder.

Defense Department takes down, then restores ‘DEI’ webpage honoring Black Medal of Honor recipient
According to archives reviewed by theGrio, the page honoring Army Maj. Gen. Charles Rogers was removed Saturday and was reinstated Monday.
