John Johnson breaks a bone — 90 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 90 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

James Howard hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Colorado Rapids can pretend not to have heard.

Luca Johnson keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Colorado Rapids may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

The wait goes on for Colorado Rapids

A masterclass from Uriel Lozano
Marked 8.08 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
