After a tough Nuggets loss, I woke up this morning wanting an easy win – so I finally pulled the trigger on a DNVR membership. To all my fellow long-time listeners, not-yet subscribers, I’ll just say this: can you really put a price on these vibes? And in the spirit of good vibes, here’s my Russell Wilson story:
I teach at CU, as part of the process of getting my PhD. One fateful March morning, I’m going over the lesson plan in my office when an ESPN alert comes in: Russell Wilson is going to be Bronco. I immediately text my girlfriend, my best friend, and my dad – but it’s not enough. I need to share this joy in person. I walk across campus, go into my classroom, and lock eyes with the two vocal Chiefs fans in class. They haven’t heard the news, so I get to be the one to tell them: “The Broncos got Russell Wilson.” If I could bottle the look of frustration and disappointment on their faces in that moment and sell it around Broncos country, I’d make enough to outbid Rob Walton myself.
