While I've never wavered about Tim Howard’s skills as a goalkeeper and my fandom with him as the keeper for our USMNT, I’ve always been a bit mixed about Howard coming to the Colorado Rapids. Yes, he was certainly a plus for our squad, and he gave the Front Office a bit more credibility with a discouraged and disgruntled fanbase. I get it, and I appreciate the effort and initiative it took to bring him to Commerce City.
I remember sitting at the July 4th game last year when the Rapids played the Timbers to a 0-0 draw.
