Hopefully this humble beginning is just that– a beginning.
This is a place where I thought it would be great fun to just start writing and discussing the teams we love here in Colorado. Just because we love them doesn’t mean there aren’t times where they frustrate us to no end, or make us want to scream unedited obscenities… but when it comes down to it, we’re fans. Denver started as a sports town and grew into a sports region, each team with its own rabid fan base.
So let’s talk! For now, I’m the only writer. In the next several days, I’ll outline the site direction… who we want to be, and the policies to that end. And in that time, I hope to add some other voices to the mix… I’m not the only voice here, I just want to have a little fun with it. Also, please note that I’m not trying to take over any of the other blogs. I read and follow many of the other Broncos fan blogs, Rockies blogs, etc., and I greatly respect and admire all of them for what they do. So don’t stop reading them or make this a competition… there’s plenty of room for a new voice in the crowd, and that’s all we are.
Also please note that this is not simply a place to parrot what any of us can read in the Denver Post, or the team sites. We’ll link to news stories inasmuch as they are timely, but the point is to foster discussion, not to simply be another news aggregator.
The final thing to be aware of is that while I’m all about openness and free speech, I’m a big fat jerk when it comes to abusive people. Good natured barbs and poking a little fun is ok, especially between fans of opposing teams, but when it gets personal, or profane, I won’t hesitate to break in and delete comments and ban users. And I probably won’t be incredibly fair about it… but I simply won’t tolerate disrespect. If that means only 3 people read here, then that’s fine with me. I’d rather have 3 adults who respect each other than 10,000 adolescent internet jerks who can’t control themselves.
Whew. Sorry, didn’t mean to get all high and mighty there.
Anyhow… like I said at the top, welcome! I hope you find that this is an enjoyable place to stop in your daily web-browsing. If you’re interested in contributing to this site, drop a comment here and let’s talk!
