Hello Darkness My Old Friend. Also hello Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, our Group Think PTSD is back. We banter about MLS Commissioner Don Garber's comments about journalists being lazy by covering Lionel Messi. The boys have takes on what Garber may not realize about covering MLS and the underlying concerns that Messi's impact suggest. Then we do Good Thing, Bad Thing, Big Thing on that 4-1 loss at Portland Timbers that looked just like last year. There's a lot of Blame Pie to bake and serve.

The guys then look ahead to the home opener against Nashville SC. Return of the Chris or Revenge of the Smith? Must win if Hany Mukhtar doesn't play? What lineup changes might we see? Also, Rest in Peace Joan.

Lastly, we feature Red's guest spot on Urban Pitch to talk about the Rapids away day experience, fan culture, scran, and soccer street fashion.
