The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes movie was good. The book was FANTASTIC! Now, unto Sunrise on the Reaping. Pray for me that I make it through this.

Chris Armas on contract extension: "It's not moving as fast as I'd like, to be honest, but I'm hopeful. ... With five games to go, I would have liked to know where my future is. Hopefully I can be here for years to come."
Maybe things are as rosy on the extension talks as we were led to believe….
. @brendanploen.bsky.social, @merkenyon.bsky.social and I watched that Fulham goal get disallowed then went to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum. Neither was biggest disaster we witnessed today. #Rapids96
Ugly. Disgusting. Disheartening. Infuriating. Pain. Misery. #Rapids96
Simmered a little too long
Just gotta work on being better at finishing them now
Saucy!!!!!
THIS is what I wanted, expected, and hoped for from Cole! He is balling this match!!!
Rapids looked upset at the contact on Maxsø on the initial ball in. No excuse for the marking after that. Good finish. x.com/SportingKC/s...
No stutter step from Rafael Navarro this time but still it’s save. Colorado Rapids are good at drawing penalties. Scoring them, less so. x.com/SportingKC/s...
I’m just Leopold Fitz. Maybe one day, I’ll find my Jemma Simmons 😞
Via Alexis Manyoma’s Instagram, looks like people are offering farewells to him. Logic says he’ll find himself in Commerce City very soon.
Colorado Rapids availability report for tomorrow's match at Sporting Kansas City: OUT: Josh Atencio (knee), Reggie Cannon (yellow card accumulation), Kimani Stewart-Baynes (ankle). SKC: Manu Garcia OUT (quad). Connor Ronan is off the availability list and could feature.
A better look report for the Rapids! Ronan and Frederick are off the report. Cannon is out due to accumulation. Atencio and KSB as expected. SKC looking healthy as well.
They’re probably having another horrible week. My thoughts on their horror?
About time for another brand new episode of Commerce City Radio!! The boys talk about the Galaxy loss, how many points are left for the taking, field goal kicking? and more! Give it a spin and five stars where you get your pods 🙏 open.spotify.com/episode/09WJ...

So, if we’re going to “address the transgender issue,” I assume we’ll be addressing the white male and assault rifle issue as well…..right? RIGHT?!
Mass shootings carried out by transgender people with assault rifles: Three, give or take one Mad shootings carried out by white males with assault rifles: Too many to count

Why Did Paxten Aarsonson Sign With MLS? With Matt Pollard of @burgundywave.bsky.social youtu.be/g4zNtYtc0qU?...
Inbox: Colorado Rapids players Adam Beaudry and Noah Cobb make the roster for the USMNT U-20s for September. Beaudry still on loan at Switchbacks.
Northern Colorado Hailstorm are hosting tryouts for the squad to compete in the NISA Pro Cup. September 12-13. Looks like they'll have a different team from the League For Clubs summer games. Glad they haven't folded. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
There has been a lot of conversation recently regarding the MLS, USMNT, and European Football Leagues. Mauricio Pochettino has chosen the 23-man roster for the September. There’s been outrage and questions. Let’s discuss! #USMNT #FIFAWorldCup teamnbsmedia.com/usmnt-septem...
Both players will be looking to make their way onto the U20 squad for the 2025 FIFA U20 World Cup, which is September 22-October 19 in Chile. Best of luck to these young men! #Rapids96 #USMNT
Cobb last featured with the U20 side this past June and Beaudry (who is currently on loan with the Colorado Switchbacks) last featured last November.
🚨🚨🚨INBOX🚨🚨🚨 Colorado Rapids goalkeeper Adam Beaudry and defender Noah Cobb have received their call. Both have been called up to the U20 September Camp for USMNT! The camp goes from September 1-8 in Spain as their U20 squad will face Morocco in a couple of friendlies on the 5th and the 7th.
Frustrating Loss on the Road for Colorado- Rapids vs Galaxy Recap burgundywave.com/2025/08/24/r...
Here’s what the Rapids do about that match. You watch the tape. Watch it in silence. No need for conversation. Then, you take all physical copies that exists in your control. Salt and burn them. Twice. Shoot the ashes into deep space. Deep six all digital traces. Then, you move on. #Rapids96
MLS broadcast calling it a 4-4-2
It’s Murphy out and Ku-DiPietro in. I would it’s assume it’s a 4-2-3-1 with Ku in the Djordje spot and the Basset-Larraz double pivot but could be 4-2-2-2. As expected, Holding and Aaronson on the bench.
It’s the expected report for the Rapids. Frederick and Ronan close, but not quite there. Colorado will be spread of the terrorizing Puig that plagued them last season as he’s not ready either. Nascimento out, which hurts LA, and Yoshida questionable. No bueno for LA #Rapids96
I didn’t know you were there. I would have pulled up
Big Zack got scored on by Nico in GKU training. There’s was some pettiness in that 🤣
Half a dozen goals thread from #Rapids96 open practice with #Pax10. Rafa Santos
Just Rafa and Rafa out there enjoying the pleasure of each others company 🥰😍🥹 #Rapids96
Give me the Rapids 3-1. Rafa Navarro brace and a Paxten Aaronson nail in the coffin #Rapids96
-You have to expect some rotation with the Galaxy on Saturday. They went hard on Wednesday. Leagues Cup is their only shot remaining at silverware and they’re chasing it. Don’t expect them to just roll over and show their belly, but it’s a great opportunity at three points for Colorado.
-Have a hard time believing that either Aaronson or Holding start tomorrow. I think it’s more likely that Holding gets significant minutes but I also have a hard time seeing PaxTEN on the bench all match
I think they’re both really close but the availability report is the final word -In general, the team just has a feeling about them. They’re confident and riding high. If you would have asked anyone three weeks ago if this was the case, it’d be an emphatic no. It’s a team that believes in itself
-My first look at Rob Holding training with the team. I like he’s going to be good. Quick with his feet, more athletic than I expected, and just looks sharp -Wayne Frederick and Connor Ronan were limited participants, but as close as you can get to full participants.
Some notes from training: -PaxTEN Aaronson was at training! They indicated last night he should be there and he was. Hard to give a true assessment just yet. He’s been here for all of five minutes, but you can see what the club sees in him
For the final time, I have updated the Colorado Rapids MLS Secondary Transfer Window transfer tracker. Thanks to everyone who followed along with all my reporting, editorializing of others' reporting, and aggregation. Third most read article in BW history. burgundywave.com/2025/07/18/c...
One more training before another pivotal match in LA. And, yes, Paxten Aaronson IS training 😍 #Rapids96

All-time episode coming your way
Some additional sights from today’s press conference #Rapids96 #MLSTransferWindow
You can have your opinion, but there's no need to be an ass and overdramatic about it. Uplift your domestic league and players. Stop trying to tear them down. UP THE PIDS! #Rapids96
...at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you think. It matters what he thinks, what the Rapids think, and what the Rapids fan base thinks. Today, it was obvious that the concerned parties are excited.
However, at the end of the day, your feelings really don't matter. Paxten chose the MLS and the Colorado Rapids. He's excited for this move. He thinks this move will be beneficial for him. This is what Paxten believes will make him happy. You can bitch, you can moan, but...
...be more challenging. EPL, La Liga, Ligue 1, consistent starting minutes in the Bundesliga. That wasn't the case here. If his goal is to challenge himself and stand out to USMNT based for his play, and not which league he plays in, MLS is a fantastic and promising move.
He's looking to put a club and a team seen by many as mid and take them to new levels on his back. On what planet is that seen as not ambitious? How is that not a challenge? Has what it means to be competitive changed? There are definitely leagues in Europe that could...
...significant interest from other European clubs. Use your brain. Do you truly think he was guaranteed 90+ consistently then? It's unlikely. So, instead of being a small fish in the deep sea, he decides to be a good-sized fish in one of the Great Lakes.
However, please stop and think about it. It was on loan from his principal club, which wasn't the first loan. It was looking like he would be on loan again. His minutes were not guaranteed. If reporting from Tom Bogert is correct, which it almost always is, he did have...
...and I'm really happy to get started. For the USMNT bros upset about Paxten Aaronson coming to the MLS and the Colorado Rapids, your take is wrong and outlandishly stupid. Just from a football perspective, yes, Paxten did very well in the Netherlands.
...I had with them, and it also came down to where was I going to be the happiest playing my soccer. It came down to being coached by him [Chris Armas] and being in Colorado. It was the best decision for me, and I'm super excited that I made it...
Here's the full quote by Paxten about USMNT chatter: On my side, the puzzlement is fair from the media, but for me, no one ever really knows the full story. It also wasn't easy for me to make the decision. I battled a lot of it. But, at the end of the day, like I said, the call...
Very soon. Paxten Aaronson press conference!
You may choose to swap for an Aaronson #10 kit, a kit customized with select Rapids players available within existing Altitude Authentics inventory, or a blank kit within the same collection. #Rapids96
Fantastic move by the club and an absolute class move to do right for their fans! #Rapids96
Our friends @burgundywave.bsky.social and @braidonnourse.bsky.social have confirmed that the Colorado Rapids will be having a jersey swap! Since Paxten Aaronson will be wearing the number 10, fans can exchange their Headwaters and Original Green kits of Mihailovic 10 for Aaronson 10.
The Rapids look for Aaronson to meet, if not exceed, the hole left my Djordje Mihailovic as the transaction will be a club record for a transfer fee paid. Welcome to Colorado, Paxten! #Rapids96 #MLSTransferWindow 📸: Colorado Rapids
It is a five-year contact that goes through 2030. Aaronson last played in the Netherlands’ Eredivise on loan at FC Utrecht, where he had nine goals and six assists in 37 appearances.
🚨🚨🚨TRANSFER🚨🚨🚨 The Colorado Rapids have officially signed USMNT midfielder Paxten Aaronson! The 21-year-old will be a Designated Player and wear the number 10.
If the USMNT bruvs were pissed before, they’re going to hate the opening segment of @soccerwisehq.bsky.social from today
No talks, no offer. Rafa is happy in Colorado. Happy deadline day!
Your words are infectious Your eyes leave me breathless I think it's safe to say you're deadly in your own way I've never felt so alive until I figured you out youtube.com/watch?v=_cbE...
My work here is done
Rob Holding Now Training #Rapids96
Can confirm @tombogert.bsky.social’s report of a $7 million fee and $1.5 million add-ons for Paxten Aaronson. He’ll be a DP. Just about double the previous incoming transfer fee record for the Colorado Rapids. In a single window, Rapids have broken outgoing and incoming records.
🤣🤣🤣
🇺🇸🚨 BREAKING: The Colorado Rapids are finalizing a deal to sign USMNT attacker Paxten Aaronson from Eintracht Frankfurt, per sources: - Club record $7m fee + $1.5m add-ons - DP deal for Aaronson - Aaronson currently en route to Colorado More: www.givemesport.com/mls-summer-t...

The hissy fit being had right now by the USMNT fan base over Paxton Aaronson coming state side is not short of embarrassing
#Rapids96 fans after Djordje left and then they win two straight and (possibly) acquire Paxton Aaronson
The head of our order has spoken
Ahh, I see now. I was thinking of the U22 player model. So, this would fill the DP and leave one unusable DP and one U22 (after Manyoma)?
Do they have a DP slot?
Correct me if I’m wrong, @braidonnourse.bsky.social @burgundywave.bsky.social, but I believe he has to be U22
💣🇺🇸 BREAKING: The Colorado Rapids are in advanced talks to sign USMNT attacker Paxten Aaronson from Eintracht Frankfurt, sources say. Final details now for Colorado. A number of European teams were trying hard to get him. Potential club-record deal. www.givemesport.com/exclusive-co...
BREAKING: The Colorado Rapids are in advanced talks to sign USMNT midfielder Paxten Aaronson from Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. No word on fee, but majority of funds come from the sale of Djordje Mihailovic. Would be a huge get for the Rapids for the final stretch.
Put some respeck on his NAME!
After his three-goal contribution performance on Saturday, Rafael Navarro has been named Player of the Matchday for the first time in his career. He also becomes the third different Brazilian player to win the award this season (Evander and João Klauss). www.mlssoccer.com/news/colorad...
