About

I could write this in the third person and make it like a traditional, garden-variety biography, but that would be foolish and would undermine a chief goal of our site:

To make it personal.

This is what I'm doing most of the time. However, my wife would prefer I wear a more fashionable shirt.

So let’s get the personal introduction out of the way … I’m Andrew Mason, and I started this site after spending eight years working with NFL teams.  During my career, my work has been published in various publications, including The New York Times, and you can hear me discussing the Broncos and other local sports topics regularly on Mile High Sports Radio, on your dial at 93.7 FM and 1510 AM in Denver, and on Broncos game days during the pregame show on KOA-AM 850 and the Broncos Radio Network.

You can also hear me on a variety of other radio outlets depending on the week or storylines, including outlets in markets as varied as Dallas-Fort Worth, Jacksonville, Fla., Hartford, Conn., Asheville, N.C., and Cleveland, as well as Sirius/XM Fantasy Radio and Sirius NFL Radio.

In my 12 years working on NFL and team websites, I’ve seen the nature of coverage change drastically. Just over a decade ago, NFL coverage on the Internet was pretty much the same thing as you’d read in a newspaper, only published sooner. Now, it’s driven by Twitter, fueled by fan blogs and propelled by an increasingly insatiable interest in the sport, one that doesn’t cease with the end of a season.

But some things haven’t changed. There’s still a need for fair, objective analysis. The perspectives of the sport’s long-timers are still valued. The researched, nuanced take on the sport is still worth a read. And most importantly, sports are fun. Fun to watch, fun to discuss, fun to enjoy while making jokes or making pop-cultural references that tangentially connect with what we’re watching.

Our coverage will be unconventional at times. Interviews are important but so is everything that happens when the recorders are stopped and the cameras aren’t rolling. I study tape. I research statistics. I delve into history. I know that sometimes Homer Simpson says it better than I can. And yes, I like using 25-cent words when appropriate.

Most importantly, this site will be responsive. Via Twitter, via e-mail, via comments or any other methods of interactivity, I know that our coverage will be as much determined by interaction and discussion as the news of the day.

Eventually, we’ll cover other sports. For now, we’ll go heavy on football. Every piece of research shows it’s the most important sport to the most people in Colorado.

I hope you’ll enjoy what we have to offer, and that you’ll come back often. The door is always open to you.
