Hello Rapids fans. This week on the pod, Rabbi Mark Goodman's off for a Jewish holiday. Matt Pollard banters about the possible PRO referee strike and an American being denied a move to Russia. He discusses the club's new primary kit, which might not be all Burgundy.

We touch on a few things on Sam Vines becoming official, with the #3 shirt in good hands. Two SuperDraft picks are officially on first team contracts. Miguel Navarro, Aboubacar Keita, and Lalas Abubakar could be on the way out. Rémi Cabral has signed a first team deal. The Rapids lost their first preseason game and Lamine Diack is a new No. 6 target.

Then we feature Matt's interview with Mr. Rapid, Captain Keegan Rosenberry, from Monday.
