When people come up to me and ask what I do for a living, I tell them I'm an editor who works for the @csgazette. In reality, though, I should say this: I make a living telling the truth, and so do my coworkers. It's amazing how so many people fall for the slanted lies of many

Huh. That’s interesting… especially since we wrote a story in our paper saying that Colorado GAINED 24,000 people for this period. It also said U-Haul surveyed Colorado as the 23rd most popular state to move to, up from 40th the previous year. https://t.co/OorbBRqqxp

Denver is best sports city in country now with Avalanche, Nuggets and Broncos. No city has ever won 3 championships in same calendar year. Detroit won 3 in 1935-36. Denver could do in 2026 with Super Bowl, Stanley Cup and NBA Finals.

Off the top of my head, the only other time Denver may have had this was in the 80s when John Elway was with the Broncos and Alex English was with the Nuggets. But the Avs, at the time, were still in Quebec. Am I wrong?
Pro sports in Denver has never looked this good. Not at the same time. Ever.

Wow. What an incredible moment that must have been to see that in person!
14 years ago today…the greatest baseball game I’ve ever seen. Watching the game swing back and forth, seeing the champagne being wheeled toward the Rangers’ clubhouse before the bottom of the 9th, seeing all that led to the walk off…almost hard to believe it was real.

I literally mirrored my coverage of @oregonfootball, @OregonState football and @uccriverhawks after what @gjsportswriter did for @CMUMavericks sports, and they’re all still very complementary about it. Read Matt’s column. It’s spot on.
Thanks to @DanMohrmann for letting me write about Patti. She was my very first boss and so much of what she taught me has hung with me through my career. #copreps

I was a sports reporter for 20 years. I saw crazy football games at all levels. This was the craziest ending ever. By far. #BroncosCountry #NYvsDEN

Well done on this article, sir. And BTW, thanks for including me. Means a lot. 😊
ICYMI: The Colorado sports journalism world lost a pillar last week. Thank you to @DanMohrmann and @coloradopreps for giving me a chance to honor Patti Arnold, who had an immense impact on me @DailySentinelGJ

As for me, I was lucky enough a while ago to call her after her retirement and tell her, in person, that I owed my career to her … because it’s the honest truth.

She’s seen it all, everything from seeing players like Curt Schilling and Bryce Harper at JUCO to seeing @CMUMavsBaseball reach the Division II World Series multiple times. Tens of thousands of Mesa athletes knew who she was. She was one of Colorado’s best ever.
