Hello Colorado Rapids fans! This week on HTHL, the Rapids have a Designated Player! Rabbi and Red banter about Axel Sjöberg retiring and debate what is Rapids legacy is. We recap a frustrating scoreless draw against Charlotte FC. At least Owl Watch (https://twitter.com/jspsam/status/1518027902553665537) was fun. Then the guys break down all the details of the Gyasi Zardes trade with some insider information. Then we finish the show off previewing Saturday's home match against Portland Timbers. During this episode we discuss Red's article for Last Word (https://lastwordonsports.com/soccer/2022/04/22/gyasi-zardes-trade-rapids-crew/) on the Zardes trade and his Substack piece (https://holdingthehighline.substack.com/p/red-feyenoord-cole-bassett?s=w) on the Feyenoord game he attended.
