Former Rapids - where are they now? (part 2)

Let's not get too carried away here - Beckerman is now stuck playing for Fake Salt Lake, Noel played in the USL and is hoping to catch on with an expansion club, and Cletus has to go to Greece to find someone willing to pay him big $. Not all necessarily better.

Cunningham did so well in RSL they shipped him to Toronto, where he is tearing things up - NOT.

I wouldn't call it getting carried away - look at the list of former Rapids, how successful have those not under the Clavijo regime been? It's not like we're producing Champions' League-rs here, but most former Rapids have gone on to rather anonymous careers post-Rapids, except for Clavijo's players.

It's all about how low the bar has been set

I noticed on MLSNet that Nat Borchers got in at the 60 minute mark today for RSL in their loss to Lynn University.

Who was comparing Cunningham and Casey, not me. But since you brought it up:

2007
Casey 2 goals, 3 assists in 977 minutes
Jeff C 3 goals, 1 assist in 1034 minutes

As for Jeff with RSL, he led them to what place in the standings?

Chris Henderson still cares for Denver. (And has a residence?)

"Of all the stops in your career, next to Seattle where did you feel most at home?
Denver. I met my wife there in ’96, our first son was born there and we still have a residence there. The best team I played for was in Miami in 2001, but next to Seattle Denver is where I felt most at home, and there are a lot of similarities in the lifestyle in Colorado and Washington."

David Patiño is the head coach for Monarcas in the Mexican first division.

...looks like El Pibe has a "special friend"! Good luck with that!

G'Day...Ron

And I wish I could find the picture of Patrick Roy poke-checking Dino Ciccarelli back in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Either way, there's an unpleasing theme to Colorado sports.

This makes me tear up every time I watch it....
