Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we've got Rapids transfers to discuss. Lucas Herrington has reportedly completed his medical at Hull City. We're just waiting on the press release at this point. We discuss the three rumored players in Couhaib Driouech, Filip Thovaldsen, Sayed Abu Farhi. It doesn't look like the Pids will sign any of them but we talk about them nonetheless. What does this say about where the Rapids stand on the transfer window with the Lucas funds coming in? We have thoughts. It feels different this time. Then we touch on the Leagues Cup and Concacaf drama as Mexico supporters Infantino. We have a laugh at Azteca Portlandia (the same thing would happen to the Rapids, maybe worse). Then we preview Sporting KC. Surprise, it's another most win for the Pids at DSGP. Excited to see Calvin Harris again. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

From the Touchline is a short-feature podcast with Rev Brad Kenney, Founder and Executive Director of Soccer Chaplains United and Volunteer Chaplain to the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer. Rev Brad and occasional guests touch on various issues around the topics of faith, family, and football (soccer).

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. Holding The High Line is back. We talk about the first episode of the new Ted Lasso season. We give our takes on the Lucas Herrington transfer to Hull City rumor. Here's the math behind the $17 million plus $6 million plus 15% sell-on clause. The guys have thoughts on what the Pids should and will do with the money assuming the transfer goes through. We speak on the transfer window as a whole and our experience with silly season. Real Pids move in silence like lasagna. The guys break down the 1-0 win over Austin FC. It was kind of good, kind of underwhelming, kind of bad. Should we be optimistic about the Pids or worried? We discuss. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
