My theory is no one actually watches the Rapids or pays any attention to them, so they see the results, read the match preview or injury report and put something that makes sense to the 95% of MLS fans out there who could care less about our beloved Rapids. Its all right to me as long as Gary Smith is telling the squad every day how nobody else believes in them and they are ready to prove the nation wrong. -Ben!
