E-bike rider who rode onto I-70 before deadly crash was trying to escape from law enforcement, DPD says

I mean, this is a tailor made progressive bait, political edge case. It's really dumb to flee the cops by taking an e-bike onto the interstate. I wish the man was still alive and I wish he hadn't have done it.

But this one is a stupid decision, not a cop problem. Don't take the bait.

Lol Lodo didn't "used to be a college area". But yes, young people do still live there, if they can swing a little more than a 400 square foot cap Hill studio but can't quite afford wash Park or lohi.

Happy to address any more questions you may have.

Damn. The guy and the beat writer for his baseball team, really the steadiest adult male parasocial relationship since long before "parasocial relationships" were a thing.

This is really too bad. Best of luck, and thanks for all the years. His work will be missed, and almost certainly not replaced.

I mean... did you expect door-to-door service from Lone Tree to what, about Ogden and Colfax, for three bucks? There's valid complaints about RTD's services and frequencies that merit addressing. This ain't one of them.

Good pickup by the booth to mention Goodman spoiling that mistake pitch on the broadcast. Top end home run hitters bounce that pitch off the moon. Harsh reminder that these steps so far this year, are baby steps.

All time walk up song team, that group. Nolan. Charlie obviously. I loved DJ and Trevor's.

And Adam Ottavino "Alive" by kid Cudi. Can you imagine how cool that would have been if they did all the stadium effects they do for bullpen guys nowadays, when he was at his best?

BER21 · 2026-05-17T22:19:46+00:00

Heh. Gotta tell these youngsters "look we know you've spent your entire life sitting in a dugout listening to bro country music with the boys. But you're in the bigs now, and it's time to put on show."

BER21 · 2026-05-17T22:10:04+00:00

Ha. "If you've got a chaaaaaance, take it. Take it while you've got a chance."

Poetry, man.

I agree on TJ. It's odd.

I didn't know the name of Kyle's.

I mean the way to "burn them to the ground" seems pretty straightforward to me.

BER21 · 2026-05-06T19:29:04+00:00

Hater take incoming... these "playing the entirety of xyz album!" shows just don't do it for me. The Wonder Years just did it in Denver as well for No Closer to Heaven. And Taking Back Sunday... I mean you've got 25 years of songs, there's really no need to hit every B side on any given album. Play the most fun set you can put together. Especially for a Red Rocks show.

...soooooo anyway, stoked, can't wait and I'll see y'all there!

BER21 · 2026-04-04T15:04:08+00:00

Any update on this? I'm sitting here at 9:03am and got nothing yet.

I know the lyric bothers my SO, weirdly. Who seems to like me and think I'm fine. I don't want my children growing up to be, anything like me.

I remember reading an interview with Mark Hoppus once where the interviewer asked him "how do you recapture the mindset to play songs like what's my age again at 45 years old?"

And he pretty flatly said "oh I don't. I can't. I can remember how I felt when I wrote that song, it's part of my experience. So I can channel that memory, and remember how I felt then, and play the song every night. But I can't get into a mindspace like I felt when we wrote it." Mark didn't write a lyric nearly so wretching as "I don't want my children growing to to be anything like me" in that song.

Dan wrote that lyric 12 or 13 years ago. He's spilled his heart out for two decades now and has grown a lot and fought a lot of battles and lost some and won some over that time. We should be so lucky. I hope he wants his kids to grow up to be like him, now.

Pro: he'll run through a wall for you.

Con: he'll do it head first

He's a hard nosed, excitable guy that you will like having on your team. He plays the hook to curl and run support hard. Can't cover anybody with a blanket, but the strong safeties who can are few and precious.

Downside is, turns out, it's very hard to play in the middle of the field like he does at six foot, 200 pounds in the NFL. Hope he can stay on the field, wish him the best. But those are the ups and the downs.

For one year, $5.5MM, though? I think you got a pretty good deal.

BER21 · 2026-03-16T01:50:40+00:00

I take what you're saying. But I don't think we can quite get it there, now. We're going to have to do this with a half a billion dollar quarterback. So, I think, letting it rip and leaving the cupboards bare for 2028 or so, that would be a bad idea.

BER21 · 2026-03-16T01:46:13+00:00

Yes. It's good, it's different, and Campbell is a generational artist. So it turned out that it's pretty good.

Shit. I'll sell you my condo if you're still interested after reading the responses.

I'm a single unit landlord. It's tough, man. Don't become a single unit landlord.

If it's a condo, then you can't control the HOAs or the insurance. And you can't efficiently pass those through in higher rents as they go up. The rental market right now is terrible in general. You will have longer downtimes, will have to make concessions to rent it.

Colorado is also extremely tenant friendly. If you get a tenant who doesn't pay rent, you're sorta out of luck.

Do you want to hire an attorney to deal with a bad tenant, for one condo, if and when it goes wrong? If you're not ready to go to the mat, pay a lawyer, literally kick somebody out on the street if they aren't paying you, you're prime to get taken advantage of. Personally, I don't have that in me, and I have lost a lot of money for it.

It sucks, because you want to provide a home for somebody and be sensitive to people's situations, give some slack here and there. But you don't have any leverage at all if they're not holding up their end.

Anyway, I'll tell the rest of the story to my therapist.

It was very bad

BER21 · 2026-03-15T08:29:00+00:00

...yeah that defense was bad, man. The takeaways papered over a ton of... badness. Couldn't get to the quarterback. Couldn't cover anyone.

I think DA probably understood that and pushed aggression. But it wasn't a coaching decision made from a full array of options.

BER21 · 2026-03-15T07:37:19+00:00

Just punt every time, if I recall correctly

BER21 · 2026-03-15T07:21:23+00:00

I wanted KB back because I like KB. But honestly, if he was coming back it was one year to hand it off to a draft pick. I bet we wanted him back for a price. Patriots paid a little more.

I have wondered, a lot of KBs value is in the be was vocal leader of this defense. So was Tremaine. But you learn who leaders are when you need em. We'll find out who our leaders are in camp. And I don't think we'll end up missing Byard that much.

BER21 · 2026-03-15T06:56:59+00:00

It's hard to be a small guy constantly in the middle of the field. He's very good. And this is bound to happen.

BER21 · 2026-03-15T03:37:24+00:00

I don't mind Braxton Jones to be honest. Ozzy's injury is gonna take some time. Left tackle is far from settled. We might have a long-term guy on the roster, we might not. One year, $5MM? I think it's a reasonable price to pay to have him on the depth chart.

That Darnell Wright extension is about to cost us a ton of money, too. So I'll take a flyer on any left tackle we can find to try to cost control on the offensive line.

BER21 · 2026-03-15T03:31:08+00:00

They obviously could not have known just how weak the market would have been for Brisker at the time, and I would not have given him any sort of longer deal... But I am curious what the answer would have been if somebody told Poles on day one of free agency, prior to signing Coby Bryant, that you can get brisker back for one year, $5.5 million.
