Lauren 2.0 is already working Rapids games, I guess we'll see if they work her into Avs broadcasts or just use Vic on double-duty for the remainder of the season.

I’m amazed that no one covers the Makar story and gets answers. So many questions, so few answers.

Vic has been pretty good.
The new girl looks fine, but I'll only creep about the original Lauren, thank you.

I don't see the problem there at all, a lot of us are fans of both teams.

And more importantly, Kroenke owns both teams and the channel.

Vic is hands down one of the best sportscasters the state of Colorado has ever had. And he's perfectly fine covering the Avs even though he was brought in specifically for Nuggets broadcasts. Mind you, I don't think the history of Denver sports coverage has been amazingly stellar, but there have been more than a couple standouts.
So sad to be seeing (from a distance) what a f***ing tabloid-level joke 104.3 The Fan has become. They used to have stellar Avs coverage. Now they're still acting butthurt about losing Avs/Nuggets rights with sideshow antics.

Can you expand on this whole thing? The last time I listened to Denver radio was when The Fan had active coverage, so I don't know what's going on.
Vic is just a fill-in with LG departing - and it is fine because Vic is very talented. Yeah, his passion is the Nuggets, but he is just in a temporary role, so no biggie.
I do wish Altitude could get a former hockey player to come do local radio. It would be nice to have someone who can talk more technically about the sport. They talk Avs some, but outside of Moser, no one is really an expert so the talks don't last long or go too deep and mostly stick around with a 'Rah-Rah' shtick. Compare that to the advanced stats and strategy discussions we get about the Nuggets, and it is night and day.

followed up by this today:
Mostly they just exist to troll Avalanche fans, to be honest. They wait for the team to have a down slide, and then jump all over them with 'trade everyone, fire everyone, Denver has terrible fans' pronouncements. Last year I got in an argument with Mike Evans because Mike thought the Avs should trade Makar and other prospects for someone to help us in the playoffs. I tried to explain to him the Avs weren't at the stage, and it turned into a whole thing.
I finally had to unfollow Evans. He was reaching self-parody levels of ridiculousness. I like Schlereth for football takes but this is just asinine, and tries to play it like he's being attacked for making one little comment. No, Mark...you were going out of your way to troll a fanbase, they responded, and now you're acting like they overreacted. Again, this is just more of The Fan's M.O. I'm sure they'll top it again this year by inserting themselves into another Broncos-related controversy.
Everyone's better off following Schlereth's daughters Alex and Avery anyway.

That's weird. So is that because the hockey stuff is now all on Altitude Radio, or what? Seems self-destructive.
Also, OT but can I ask, why is this not the first time I've seen Dionysus referenced in a nickname in an online context? Is there a gaming reference or something that I'm missing? Because Dionysus isn't like a particularly badass Greek god by my understanding, so what's up?
Dude, he's the party god, he's all kinds of badass! Almost as badass as Ukko!
They're just hellbent on telling everyone that the Broncos are the only sports scene that matters, and anyone who disagrees is an irrational ignoramus. On top of that they essentially engineered an idiotic feud between Marquette King and D-Mac to stoke the flames like some cheap reality show.
AJ is having none of it, much as they claim to give the Avs the light of day, they've sent NO ONE to cover the Avs, and he pretty much said that Sandy Clough would be the only guy there who'd know where to even go if they did send someone to The Can.
When I was a kid, online games were starting to become a thing. I played a game called Starsiege: Tribes and I used Achilles as my handle because I thought it was awesome. It started getting hard to find that handle however, so I was mulling over a change. Then I moved to a competitive clan called enDless, and everyone had a handle starting with D, so I picked Dionysus (Dionysus.enD) as a teenager amused by God of partying (more or less). That handle was also hard to find as time went on, so I replaced the Y with and I.... And then that got harder, so I typed some numbers one time when registering, and haven't had a problem with the handle since Now I am middle aged guy and use this handle cause it is a username I can remember, even if corny.
As far as the ontopic comment.... They get roasted pretty hard on social media for their 'no off-season to talk Broncos' stuff, so I think they are just leaning into it.

I keep saying it again and again, but Altitude 92.5 is the only Sports Station in town. They aren't perfect, but all of the shows are entertaining, and it's the only place you'll find any Avs, Nuggets, or Rockies talk. Plus, Ryan S Clark is on all the time and gives great Avs analysis. They're doing remotes from the Can for the games and giving away tickets. I don't understand how anyone wastes their time listening to that station up the dial.

What the f*** did I just witness. I can't even fathom why he would do that, to alienate hockey fans? Stick to football, not 'comedy'.

I guarantee the people at that station up the dial are actively rooting for the Avs and Nuggets to lose.
