"The Dark Side" on coloradorapids.com

I think someone in the expansion draft thread pointed it out, but after the list was already posted. It'll be interesting to see how far this column goes and if they actually get some articles of substance together. Maybe an interview with Balboa on his new job, once he gets it. Things like that would be cool. Hopefully the author doesn't get tied to simply putting the company line out there.

 

The link is dead. What is it referring to?

 

There was an article written by a Rapids staffer on coloradorapids.com. It detailed the expansion draft rules and how they would affect the Rapids. Basically a prediction by the guy about who would be protected and who wouldn't. Interesting it is down since it said it was the start of a weekly column.

 

Here is a working link Maybe the article was moved or something.

 

I liked the article and hope that this is going to be a continuing feature on the site. One that goes farther than just a press release. If it does that I will be a consistent and loyal fan, even if I don't agree with what it has to say.

 

Except this one works for some reason.

 

I agree. The first link didn't work, but the new identical link works much better, thank you.

 

Make that three...

 

I've clicked the first one a few times, it doesn't work for whatever reason.

 

Both links work, put away the rulers boys... they are the same length.

I noticed the article, good premise, but it is going to get awfly boring if the FO action constantly contradict the stories in the future. This guy is in the organization, and if it is an editorial, they should state as much.

 

Must be a browser issue or something strange.

 

Good to see on the Rapids site though.

Thanks for the link(s).

 

oooo!! oooo!! oooo!!

Capital "N" in "News" was required.

 

Ah... yessssss, you are correct sir, -now calm down before you hurt something.

Bonji break out the ruler, apparently you win my a millimeter, maybe even a micrometer.

greenie. you have been shamed for your non "n" capitalizing skills. You have been warned, it has not been noted and nothing shall come to pass.

 

I love millimeters.

 

Oh, greenie, you had me at DNS tables. *sigh*

 

And look your capitalization skills have already improved. You are a learn-ed man, sir.

 

Arturo's new column is up today....if nothing else, he's very verbose. That's a long column

 

I think his comments on the end about DLT are right on. Well as far as what the rest of the league was doing from a strategy standpoint. I often thought it would be better to have him in the midfield.

He doesn't touch on the possiblity of trade value for DLT and maybe that says something about it. It could be any one of the following; the trade value wasn't what we all think, the league mandated it, or the Rapids didn't think there would be a player made available that they would really want in the espansion draft and are still clueless when it comes to seeing the value of draft picks.
