"Why would anyone want to play for and live in..." DMac, Vic Lombardi, Mark Schlereth, Alfred Williams (the former Bengals player), Joel Klatt and other respected guys who were enjoyable to listen to always defended beloved Colorado at the expense of other places. I found it to be a strange narrative.

Colorado is a bit like California in that anything outside the state isn't worth discussion to them. They can't imagine why someone would live anywhere else. My kids say "Find someone who loves you as much as Coloradoans love talking about Colorado."

When we told people we were moving to Florida, you would have thought we told them we were moving to Mars.
