I Just Can’t Listen Anymore As I drove my kids to school on Monday morning, I turned the radio to the sports talk station so that I could hear about the keys to the Broncos victory over the rival Oakland Raiders, but somehow that was not all I heard. Even the airwaves of sports media […]
The Politics of Fear
The Politics of Fear I’m a sports fan and a fantasy football junkie who also happens to write frequently about the current state of politics and social news stories, so the president’s recent comments directed at Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players who have used their stage to protest against the racial injustices of our […]

Everything I Know About Life I Learned from Playing Golf

Yeah, they might want to bring those back. Because shit with […]
Non-Affirmative Action
Non-Affirmative Action I seriously cannot believe I am about to type this sentence, but here it goes. I actually agree with a major policy decision of the Trump administration. Ok, there, I said it. Now please excuse me for a few moments. I think I need to go scour the stink off myself for the […]
Let Them Eat Cake
Let Them Eat Cake Funny, when people mention a Colorado baker, they are usually referring to a shaggy dude wearing a tie-dye t-shirt and baggy pants who came here on vacation shortly after the state legalized marijuana in January of 2014 and then somehow never managed to leave. But in the case of this week’s […]
