Man Hugs and Fist Pumps

October 16th, 2009 CallItMileHigh 2 comments

Man hugs and fist pumps dominated my life over the past two weeks.
Yesterday, I returned from a thirteen-day cross-country road trip that culminated in a college reunion (a “brounion”) two weekends ago in central New York. It was a weekend of debauchery. It was a weekend of memories. It was a weekend of man hugs [...]

Eight years and two days ago, the course of NFL history changed. History has since been revised. Thank you, Morris C. Lewis.

The Marshall Plan

Hypocrisy stands at the root of my issues with embattled Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall. His freakish strength and unparalleled ability to create plays after the catch do not mitigate his criminal record. It is the NFL’s duty to discipline Marshall when he steps out of line. As long as Marshall beats a criminal charge [...]

Take a Minute and Give the Broncos a Chance

I constantly tell my friends from other parts of the country that Denver is a Broncos town. We have the Nuggets, Avalanche, and Rockies, but we just don’t love these other teams in the same way we’d instantly take a bullet for our Broncos.
