Last night’s debate was probably one of the most engaging debates that I have watched in my political life.

Not every win is a pretty one, but every win is still a win. Last night was exactly that for the Buffaloes. 17-14 over West Virginia in a game that I think was more dominated by good defense (and a few really boneheaded play calls by WVU’s coach) after the 1st quarter ended. As I [...]

Wow - what a game for the Broncos this afternoon. An amazing game to watch and one that I am really thankful to be on the “winning” side. The Broncos should feel pretty lucky to have this one courtesy of the call at the end of the game (which I chose to not have pictured [...]

Ok - I will post something that is not political in nature. I had the pleasure this evening of participating in my annual fantasy football draft. It is a ritural that began in my college days with a group of 12 of us and has continued each year since. Of the 12 in the league [...]

Thursday Night - Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at Invesco Field Mile High Stadium.

Growing up near Denver, we had two sports religions in our house - the Broncos and the Buffs. I vaguely remember the old Colorado Rockies NHL team (who later became the NJ Devils) and my dad took me to some DU hockey games growing up, but that was about it. My most passionate [...]

Three things in my golf life that are likely only in my wildest dreams…
1. A hole in one (on any course)
2. Playing a round at Augusta National (sexist policies and all)
3. A hole in one at Augusta
Great shot today by Ian Poulter on the 16th
I’ve always loved the 16th. I know [...]

When you marry someone, you marry their sports fanaticism as well. Growing up a Colorado football fan, I have been raised to hate strongly dislike Nebraska football (as well as Notre Dame football on general principle) and so most of my football fan life, I’ve paid attention primarily to Big 8 / Big 12 [...]
