Troll so hard: Oren Lomena calls Denver “a bandwagon sports town” on air
I wasn’t listening to the Press Box show on Mile High Sports radio this morning as I normally do for one really simple reason: the signal was down when I tried to tune the station in. It seems to happen about once a month in the morning that MHS’ signal will be nothing but static. I guess I missed out on the real static, though. Once the signal returned Press Box co-host Oren Lomena said “Denver’s not a good sports town, it’s a bandwagon sports town.”
I know trolling and that’s some good trolling.
Not surprisingly, Lomena took a beating on Twitter by 50 or so not-so-happy Denver fans. Personally, I think Denver is a great sports town. But I can see where Lomena was coming from. We tend to be front-runners where every team but the Broncos is concerned. But who can blame us. Denver is a beatiful place and we have lots to do here. Teams kind of have to “earn” good attendence. This isn’t some filthy East Coast city where people will show up to watch a team like the Knicks just because there’s nothing better to do. We will respond to success.
A bandwagon sports town? That would be Seattle, Mr. Lomena. But nice job firing up Broncos Country.
