I suffer from a chronic ailment since I started covering the Colorado Rapids and more importantly when I became Managing Editor last February. It is called:
Burgundy-A-Phobia
Loosely translated:
I want the Rapids to win, and if it is not by some heretofore unknown way, I am unsatisfied. It gets to the point that the result doesn't matter if the win is not the way I envisioned it.
Lame. I know.
But I'd argue that complaining that the Rapids did not win "pretty" is sure a heck of a lot better than seeing them play like they did in 2014 and 2015.
