I never really liked sports until I had a religious conversion when the Broncos lost to the 49ers in that one Super Bowl. Now I'm obsessed with all aspects of the Denver pro sports world. Oh yeah, I hate college football. It's crap. Talk to me on twitter @johnreidydenver

"The knock has always been that the Kroenkes only cared about the Nuggets and not the Avs. Well, this kind of proves it. That should make you feel better, but it’s kind of like installing a smoke detector after a fire guts your kitchen."

"Rockies scribe David Martin (@RockiesReview) made a casual comment about Dexter Fowler’s hitting the other night and Fowler’s wife (@AliyaFowler) stumbled to his aid with all the panache of a drunken hobo."

Reidy's Sports Roundup

"And where the Kroenkes have made a strong statement with keeping George Karl around, they’ve made more of a languid hand gesture with your Colorado Avalanche and the firing coach Joe Sacco."

"But is it fair for a young up and comer to cough up his or her seat so Drew Soicher can be there? I’m pretty sure if you figured who sits where based on attendance, Soicher would be sitting somewhere out on Park Ave. Let’s make this happen."

"People love Bruce Springsteen unconditionally too and when I heard one of his recent albums, I couldn’t believe how bad it was. Yet, you never hear a bad word said about Bruce. Radiohead is the same way and Hail to the Thief was their turd in the punchbowl that everyone kept drinking out of."

Climb aboard the Rockies Love Ship

"The Rockies Love Ship should be a testament to the Colorado sports fan and not an indictment of clueless morons shoveling their money into the Monfort’s furnace."

Learn to curl!

"Aside from being a blast, you’ll want to learn how to do it now because when the winter Olympics roll around, you’ll be all “I want try curling, that looks like fun and something a fat slob like me could do.” Well, you’d be right on all counts: it is fun and a fat slob like you could do it, but it’s harder than it looks."

Losing my Avs religion

"Sacco is like the PR guy from the latest cruise line to strand its customers in a feces filled stink barge, bobbing like a corpse out in the Mediterranean. Firing Sacco is akin to putting a band-aid on a gushing circular saw wound - and something he’d welcome like the sweet embrace of death."

"The problem is Knudson can only take an absurd stance only so often before people become suspicious. They will have to milk what they can from this latest topic and wait for more. Here’s some: “Hitler had some good ideas” or maybe an “AIDS is a punishment from God” column? The sky’s the limit guys! And those are ideas you can repurpose without crediting me."

"The win streak has been incredible and the Nuggets deserve all the credit for looking like a contender despite GM Masai Ujiri's claim to the contrary. But fans went from quietly optimistic, to planning the parade route through Lodo - not over the course of the win streak - but over the course of one night."
