@MichaelBennet Trump is not running for Gov. The dems control the House, Senate and Governorship of Colorado. You are the problem

[Crazy Neighbor @Colobrad]

@VicLombardi And I hate what I am hearing is the cause. And just 3 days after he carried the torch in to the Canadians game on Monday

[Crazy Neighbor @Colobrad]

@MJBuffsVoice @NeillWoelk @CURadioNetwork And get used to it. This is about money, ratings and eyeballs. Another thing, do not feign like this is an academic issue. You would be screaming if you were left off of the National TV dollar cocaine train. You could not pay players without it. Damned if you do and you don’t

@RepDianaDeGette What is wrong is refusing to help enforce the immigration laws of this country. That is a Denver problem that could be fixed.

@RyanKoenigsberg You also do not deserve to keep your job if you are the coach

@Tyler_Polumbus We are wasting the window of a potential dynasty. New voice. He should be gone the day after they are eliminated and that will most likely be Wednesday

[Crazy Neighbor @Colobrad]

@Romi_Bean Bye bye Bednar

[Crazy Neighbor @Colobrad]

@Tyler_Polumbus Bednar cannot survive this. To many weapons given to him to fail again. Especially the way they lost tonight.

@Sassafrass_84 @PigWar They are essentially the same

@VicLombardi @KyleClark So sorry Vic. My father in law went through similar and was freed 10 years ago last March. Does not make it easier to say goodbye and let go. I am sorry for your and your family’s loss

@Rossputin @Costco It is not a new rule or some new change. I am actually one of what you call fancy people. Do not use this benefit but do like the checks that come back as a rebate every year. More than makes up for the cost. If you shop often enough at Costco, you should be fancy to

@JakeDNVR Horrible AD Rick George does it again. Cannot wait for real leadership of Lovo to fix all of this crap. Going to take time to unwind all the damage Rick did

This was not our plan.
The kids are all graduating within the next four years. We were going to get an RV. I wanted an Airstream, but I wasn’t sure if the interior would be tall enough for him. I love home improvement projects, so I was going to buy an old one and remodel it. I was going to make a podcast studio in it for him.
We were going to travel. I-5 along the West Coast was first on the list. We both loved the ocean so much. We decided we’d go to every state we hadn’t been to yet...but we’d also go out of our way to drive around Nebraska. We’d go to tailgates at CU. I would install a griddle and make muenster grilled cheese sandwiches for everyone, on sourdough, his favorite, while he covered the game.
He said that even after he retired, he still wanted to interview recruits. He looked forward to not having the daily hustle of getting content up, but he knew in his heart that he would never be able to leave sports. We were going to travel to high schools and go to games. He loved talking to high school coaches, parents, and especially young athletes. I was going to take pictures and videos. We were going to find the athletes who were off the radar, the ones in smaller markets, and give them the spotlight they deserved.
The future now looks so different. It is devastatingly sad, but it is not bleak. Somehow, it never has been. The stories, the pictures, the memories, and the outpouring of love have brought us hope in moments when it feels like my chest is collapsing.
I am glad we didn’t wait until “tomorrow” to fully live life together. I had 3,216 days with him, and we lived life in those days.
We traveled. Even though he deeply loved the Celtics his whole life, he had never been to the Garden. For his 40th birthday, I surprised him with a trip to Boston. A few years later, he surprised me with a trip to my number one bucket list destination, Lisbon.
Starting in 2018, I tried to go to one away game with him every year. I got to accompany him to Washington, Minnesota, Utah, TCU, San Antonio, Nebraska, and West Virginia, and twice to Las Vegas for Media Days. All but one of those games, we lost. I was bummed that my pictures kind of fell to the wayside because most people wouldn’t want to remember those games. But we always said the trips were amazing, aside from the football.
Going to New York to cover the Heisman ceremony was one of his favorite experiences. He was awestruck that he had the opportunity to do that, and I was able to go with him.
He’d go on Yelp and find the best places to eat. Nothing under 4.3 stars, unless there was no other option. We’d finish every single trip with a food ranking. He loved a list and a ranking. He’d find out if there was an art museum for us to go to. That was never something he would have done on his own, but he knew I wanted to. He never rushed me. We’d both go at our own pace, and I was always slower. He would be waiting for me at the end of the floor, on his phone. Texting recruits. Sending a newsletter. Calling a coach. I’d walk over, he’d look up and smile, turn his phone off immediately, and we’d go to the next floor.
Sometimes life would allow us to go on a spontaneous trip, and we did. When they announced that Kansas was playing in the first round of the tournament in Salt Lake City, he said, “You know, I don’t have anything big coming up and the kids aren’t here that weekend… we could actually drive there.”
And we did.
He went with me on a work trip to South Dakota because he hadn’t been there before. I ended up having to drive because that was the week Mel Tucker left. He was on his phone and computer most of the trip, but he put it away so we could go to Mount Rushmore and see all the places from North by Northwest. He loved Hitchcock and old movies.
We drove out to Lawrence, Kansas, to watch a KU basketball game almost every year. I am the Jayhawk, but he appreciated the history and the legacy, and he became a fan too. He loved that I loved sports. In October last year, he spontaneously said maybe we should go to Late Night in the Phog. So we did.
Sometimes we’d just go to an Airbnb in Boulder after a game instead of going home, just so we could experience something new. Or we’d take a weekend to stay in Golden with the kids.
I wanted more days. I wanted more years. But I am so thankful we didn’t wait for the “right” time to enjoy life together. We experienced life together to the fullest, every single one of those days we had.
Please take the trip. Treat yourself to really, really great food. Go to a hotel in your own city. Find somewhere that shows old movies. Go to a museum that maybe isn’t something you would normally seek out. Make time with your friends and family. Tell people you love them often, to the point of too much. Hug them.
We are not promised tomorrow, but we do have today.

@the_jefferymead Love this coming from someone who played the game and has experience. Athletes should listen to him rather than politicians who are grandstanding and creating a fake issue. Thanks @the_jefferymead for continuing to be a voice of reason and intelligence

[Crazy Neighbor @Colobrad]

@RepJackKimble Might be an improvement over many who are there

@Avalanche The Thrill of Victory and The Agony of Defeat!

[Crazy Neighbor @Colobrad]

@MN_Wild_Fans The Wild are a very good team and this series could have been even tougher than it was if you all were totally healthy. Glad we are moving on but hats off

[Crazy Neighbor @Colobrad]

Waking up and still amazed by this team’s resilience and ability to dominate (as well as take long periods off). Time to rest up a bit. Go Ducks tonight, extend that one to 7

[Colorado Avalanche @Avalanche]

BRETT KULAK ENDS THE SERIES 🚨

[Crazy Neighbor @Colobrad]

@mnwild Was better than the ending!

@CoachBGonzo Inferiority complex much? Have a nice off season after tomorrow
