    Gotta admit…it’s never boring. It seems the infighting on the slopes has mad it’s way Sports Illustrated and beyond. Personally I’d like to say, Can’t we just get along.

    I’ll be back later in the day for a bit of Rocky Mountain News memories. It was one year ago today that we closed the doors and stopped the presses on the greatest newspaper in Colorado. I really hope you’ll join me.

    And, finally, yes, I’ll be making some more changes to the blog to make it feel more like a sports blog. Please be patient. Thanks.
