Nuggets win big, Rockies limit manager search

    As I was watching the Nuggets open at home against the Detroit Pistons last night, I overheard someone make a comment, "Really? There's sports going on during the election?".  I couldn't help but laugh, as a nation we decided who our next president will be, but that doesn't mean that the world stops to watch.  Especially America, where we are always busy, and have something to do.  Even the election coverage, I guess that watching that coverage is pretty similar to watching a sporting event.  In this case, this would be what we call a blowout.  The University of Colorado's football team should be familiar to what Mitt Romney is feeling and going through today.  But nonetheless, sports were still played, orders were still taken, gas was pumped and we as a nation made an important decision together.
  Now, on to the Nuggets!  After an 0-3 start, they needed to get on the right track, and they showed they can with the way they played last night.  Starting center Kosta Koufas, had a great game down below, and Andre Iguodala is looking like he is getting more and more comfortable in this fast paced offense.  But it was the bench, with Andre Miller, Javale McGee, Corey Brewer, and Wilson Chandler, that came in and wore down the Pistons.
  Yes, it is early in the season, and a lot of people find it difficult to get into basketball this early.  I say, let's get excited.  We have an excellent football team, and a really talented basketball team, all going on together, we should get this city rallied and ready.  I got pretty pumped up myself when McGee, drove it down the middle and slammed it down in the 3rd quarter.  Expect to see much, much more of this!  Tonight they take on the new look Houston Rockets, with Jeremy Lin, and newly acquired James Harden who is averaging over 30 points a game.  Next home game is Friday night, against the Utah Jazz.
  Just found out that Trindon Holliday of the Broncos got AFC special teams player of the week with his franchise long 105 yard TD return on Sunday!  It's good to see our special teams make a play once every 8 weeks in the season!  Keep it up boys, and you might make another great play yet!
  The Colorado Rockies have announced that Jason Giambi, and Tom Runnels are out in the managerial search, and that former Rockies shortstop Walt Weiss, and former Giants infielder Matt Williams are now the front runners.  If the Rockies want to get the fans excited, the better decision would be Walt Weiss.  But the smart money is on Matt Williams, not taking anything away from Weiss, but Williams has a little more experience working at the professional level.  Whoever they decide, they need to get on the ball quick here.  Rockies fans are patiently waiting to see which direction to get ready for.  It would be nice to have owners that actually knew what baseball was, so don't get too excited, the Monforts are good at making terrible decisions, just breath with me people!!!
  Shua out!!

Broncos on a roll, Nuggets open at home

  Do you remember when Broncos fans use to worry about who was at QB?  That seems like a long time ago, now that Peyton Manning has this team working on all cylinders.  Expect him to break most of the single season records for the Broncos.  He already has 20 TD's, over 2,000 yards, and an unbelievable QB rating(108.6).  With Willis McGahee running for some tough yards, Decker and Thomas are starting to pick it up a lot more, and the awesomeness that is Von Miller and the Denver defense, the division should be wrapped up and won by week 12.
  I know I'm not the only one excited for the Nuggets home opener tonight!  Sure they lost the first 3 games, but they, like the Broncos, have a tough schedule to begin the season playing only 10 games at home.  But they played well against the Heat, who are blowing out teams, almost winning on Andre Iguodala's crossover jumper on D'Wayne Wade.  Then, the Heat won on a four point play.  I am excited for this team.  Ty Lawson was smart for signing that extension, expect Iguodala to do the same. This young team looks great, Kenneth Faried, the "Manimal", Javale McGee, Danilo Gallinari, I believe this is the young, fresh, fast team that George Karl has been working towards in Denver.
  I hope that we can all get excited for this team.  Especially since the NHL is pulling another idiotic lockout.  I won't get started on them, it's just not even worth the trouble.  The players don't even care because they can go play hockey anywhere around the world, and it's probably better hockey anyway.  Back to the lecture at hand, the Nuggets are the team for "The Can"(Pepsi Center).  Since there are a lot of games this season, it will take a few weeks for everyone to start meshing well with each other.  If you don't have tickets, it's cool.  When you're done voting, drop by the Paramount Cafe on 16th St. Mall, and watch the game with $3 Miller Lites all game, every game!
  Talk to you soon!  Shua out!
