#HEY PACHUCO PEP BAND FULL#
Oh, btw, there's also the latest 'fight of the century,' golf is in full swing, college basketball's Hot Stove is boiling, and I heard a rumor that NASCAR and MMA are still things. the only weekend a year we as a nation pretend to still care about horse racing. Still wanting more? Well, the Kentucky Derby is this weekend - i.e. Even without either of the Nuggets or Avalanche competing, they're full of drama and intrigue. Not a seamhead? The NBA and the NHL playoffs are in full swing, and well worth your consideration. What else is there to talk about, you ask? Why, how about baseball? Denver even has a team in that sport, one that is currently competitive (go Rox). It's only a topic of conversation 365 days a year because our sports media has grown tired and lazy, either unwilling or unable to stretch their legs and come up with unique segments.
I hear a constant refrain that the NFL is a 24/7/365 league, which only makes me weep for this once proud, diverse sporting country.
I understand that the NFL is a dominant piece of the sporting landcape, and the absence of local playoff entrants in either of the two tournaments currently being played hurts, but this continuing myopia, from a supposedly 'major' market, is criminal. A rehash of the NFL schedule release, an early (exhaustive) look at the NFL draft, and nary a non-football thought. It's not a frequent occurrence that I turn to Denver's view of sports, and I should've known what I was getting into, but I was aghast at the content. I was in the car Friday, stuck in traffic on US 36 (a shitshow of epic proportions, btw), when I decided to try out some local sports talk.
