The pre-1996 DC United Jersey and Shield

No offense, but this quest has defeated stronger men than you.

 

I'm convinced he has something on Kroenke and was made to disappear.

 

Worse. RapidMan disappeared while Anschutz owned the Rapids & he could make all of us disappear at the blink of an eye.

 

I forgot he wasn't the original owner (AEG). Do we know when all signs of the Original RapidMan disappeared?

 

perhaps the original was actually Phil Anchutz - I might believe he has the power to make pictures of himself disappear from the internet.

Or what sitruc said Maybe it was a contingency of Kroenke's purchase of the Rapids.


edit: dammit song219, why do you take advantage of my poor, slow typing to seem to mention Uncle Phill before me

 

I started to question my new theory as soon as I posted it.

 

None taken, but damn if that isn't a challenge. There has to be some video of Rapids games in '96, I will fine tooth comb that shit just to get a glimpse of that freak in the background.

 

Maybe you better ask the Mods to up the security around here. There are posters who used to post who are here no more. Did they get too close? Did they ask too many questions?

 

Thanks for the heads up. Going underground for a spell....

 

Not what we're looking for, but funny all the same:

 

You know that does pose a possible solution to one mystery. The original RapidMan was a quest of one Matt Mathai (sp?). I haven't seen him posting here in quite a while.
Very curious.

That looks like RapidMan's flabby brother, Not-so-RapidMan.

Pffft ... sitting on your ass and googling does not qualify as a quest. It's not a quest until someone breaks out the microfiche ...

 

It seriously may come to that. The Denver Post website is useless, and I'm running out of ideas. I've followed every link to most every player on their '96 team and not a sniff.

 

Ironically, the dude who filed a lawsuit claiming that phrase is true is now "internet famous" for exactly what he did not want showing up about him on internet searches

 

It looks faster.

 

um Crapid man?

 

My god, I can't believe we are doing this again, someone necro the old thread on this.

Cross post -it here. (found one): http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/the-original-rapidman.576179/

We got very far in our quest... but not to Modor, if you will. So off again are we lads?

 

If it exists, would it be in here: http://www.mlsarchives.com/coloradorapids/1996-coloradorapids-mediaguide.html

 

Well this thread took a hilarious turn lol. Just in case anyone wanted to see the Shirt Sandon Mibut talks about on last page, I see it in this video when they Show Diaz Arce training in his first practice with DC...



My next update to this thread will be when I get those jerseys I mentioned finally aquiring.

 

What is that? Fallopian Tube Man?

 

To try to help out the cause I contacted the Rapids media relations department for a picture. They don't have one to share yet, but they are currently digitizing all of their archives so I can contact them again in a few months and the may be able to help me.
