The Denver Post should pursue Andrew Mason
“Mason has established relationships at Dove Valley, yet he is honest in the way he evaluates the Broncos. As a sometimes co-host on Mile High Sports Radio with Renaud Notaro, Mason calls them as he sees them.”

Denver’s last remaining hometown sports section is undermanned. The Denver Post is covering Broncos camp using a platoon of scribes from various beats in order to cover for the loss of two football writers over the past year. Lindsay Jones-Paul and Jeff Legwold have both departed for jobs with national outlets leaving only Mike Klis formally assigned to Dove Valley.
Denver Post veteran Terry Frei told 104.3 the Fan’s Sandy Clough on Wednesday morning that the paper is on the hunt for a Legwold replacement. If that is indeed the case then the bosses need to look no further than DenverBroncos.com. Andrew Mason, a contributor to the site, has been covering the Broncos like an orange and blue blanket for the better part of a decade.
Mason has been writing about sports for twenty years. According to his online resume, he started with the St. Petersburg times in Florida as a correspondent. He then helped develop content for NFL.com on ESPN.com, working in Seattle and in Bristol, Connecticut. He wrote about the NFL for CBS Sportsline, too. He then went on to be a managing editor for DenverBroncos.com and Marketing Communications Coordinator for the team after spending several years covering the Arena League. Mason’s own web site, Max Denver, has been a go-to source for inside Broncos scoops for many seasons.
Mason has established relationships at Dove Valley, yet he is honest in the way he evaluates the Broncos. As a sometimes co-host on Mile High Sports Radio with Renaud Notaro, Mason calls them as he sees them. Despite having been employed by the Broncos organization at various times during his career as a writer, he is not fearful of expressing his well-developed opinions on position battles, strategies, coaching and play calling.
Mason would make an excellent addition to the staff at the Denver Post. This sentiment is shared by the great writers at It’s All Over Fat Man. He’s happy with his current gigs, though. He told me so on Twitter. The Post will never know, though, if they don’t make a run at Mason.
The Broncos are the consensus favorite in the NFL this season – largely because the team has not been reluctant to go get the players that they feel will get them over the top. Andrew Mason is to Broncos coverage what Wes Welker is to the Broncos receiving corps. The Broncos went and got Welker. Now it’s the Denver Post’s turn to show the same aggression.
