I think they came off looking like a classy & professional organization.

The marketing was completely overblown, however. Especially since he was expected to be on the roster this year. Nick, have you heard any news on any other potential player signings? Clearly, Terry Dixon's name is floating around. Also, Claudio Lopez is available after not reaching terms with the Wizards. Any thoughts on the potential of either? Thoughts on Devon Hodges?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8249539192401757288.post-29668065195561146032010-03-05T08:32:21.810-07:002010-03-05T08:32:21.810-07:00Personally, I'm surprised he didn't move o...Personally, I'm surprised he didn't move on. They must have offered him some good money. I think the Rapids did very well to hang on to him. The marketing of it as a major player transaction was maybe a bit overblown. Scott, I see Casey in the U.S. squad for the World Cup so we will need some strong back-up.Nick Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530941554925335967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8249539192401757288.post-10284533091778920292010-03-04T21:24:58.050-07:002010-03-04T21:24:58.050-07:00Tying up an aging striker for three years at an el...Tying up an aging striker for three years at an elevated price could prove to be a bad move. I hope it isn't and he scored 30 goals or more over the life of this new deal, but I'm skeptical and worried the Rapids prevented future flexibility.Bonjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994311016750091672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8249539192401757288.post-73904168399785134632010-03-04T16:36:39.573-07:002010-03-04T16:36:39.573-07:00My loss of sleep last night was not justified.

That is what I am thinking right now.<br /><br />As far as Conor and the National Team goes, I am not expecting him to be in South Africa this summer, even with a strong showing for the Rapids.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819110123986983079noreply@blogger.com
