Tired of watching the Broncos lose? You’ve got options in Colorado.

What’s a football-loving Coloradan to do?A Denver Post reader recently left a voicemail for the staff taking issue with the front page of Sunday’s sports section. “CU losing,” the caller said, sounding fully fed up. “Broncos shouldn’t even be playing. … CU and the Broncos should  not even be covered until they manage to win a game.”A little stern, but I’ve received much nastier messages than that in my career. And the caller has a point.Denver’s got a Super Bowl-winning coach teaming up with a Super Bowl-winning quarterback to present some bafflingly inept football for a three-time Super Bowl-winning franchise. Yuck.Now, The Post is not about to stop covering Colorado’s NFL team or its flagship university’s football team. Wouldn’t be prudent, to quote Dana Carvey quoting George Bush in skits that aired when I was in preschool. But I suspect this reader, who did not leave a name, isn’t the only one who’s sick of watching the Buffs and Broncos lose.I’m here to tell you you’ve got opti...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:28:44 GMT

Silicon Valley Reads will be exploring environmental sustainability with its book selections for 2024, which speak to the theme, “A Greener Tomorrow Starts Today.”The books chosen for next year include two nonfiction titles, “All We Can Save,” an anthology of writings by 60 women working on climate issues edited by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Katharine K. Wilkinson, and “One Green Thing,” a guide to action by environmentalist Heather White. There’s also a novel, “The Light Pirate” by Lily Brooks-Dalton, about a Florida town preparing for a hurricane.Climate change can be a very scary topic, so it’s worth noting that Silicon Valley Reads opted for a more forward-looking stance on the environment instead of the doom and gloom predictions we’ve heard so often (and maybe have started to ignore).“The environment is top-of-mind for many young people, and I’m looking forward to the information exchange between generati...
