Reidy's latest column: Sneaking onto the Rapids bandwagon early
John Reidy is finding solace from the mediocrity of Denver Sports by taking a short ride on the Rapids bandwagon. In this weeks edition of Jock Itch, his column over at the AV Club Denver / Boulder, John points out that the Rapids, for as lame as their name is, are a consistantly competitive team - unlike some others we could mention.
"The Rapids, no matter where soccer ranks in each fan’s list of sports, deserve accolades for simply being the most successful Colorado sports franchise of the last couple years. Unlike the league’s baffling playoff format, the Rapids’ success is not confusing at all."
read Reidy this week and every week RIGHT HEREReidy's latest column: Of full ballparks and birth fans
Resident sports columnist John Reidy talks the Rockies and their bounty of fans this week in his column, Jock Itch at the AV Club Denver / Boulder:
"Still, one area of the Rockies’ most disappointing season to date has been nothing but sunshine and rainbows: the suckers who filled the seats at Coors Field."
"amidst one of the worst flame-outs in Denver sports history, the Rockies still enjoyed healthy crowds out at the ballpark. Attendance was actually up from any previous year out at Coors Field since 2001"
Check out Reidy's column HERE and be sure and leave a comment. He loves comments.
