Back to the Colorado Rapids Newsfeed

Surprise. Rapids are in 1st place. Time for Taylor Twellman to eat some humble pie.

Hey, Taylor Twellman, how does that humble pie taste?

Back in January, ESPN's soccer analyst went on MLS soccer podcast Extra Time Radio and proclaimed the Colorado Rapids had "no plan" and that he had "zero idea where the leadership is there."

The statements didn't seem outlandish at the time, but this week the Supporters' Shield-leading Rapids (7-2-3, 24 points) ascended to the No. 1 spot in ESPN FC's MLS power rankings.

Twellman on Monday returned to Extra Time Radio for his mea culpa and tried to explain the team's surprising turnaround.
