My son and I will be traveling to Denver for our first visit to Coors Field this weekend to catch two of the games against the Giants on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.  Does anyone know who the probable pitchers are?

We've been enjoying watching the Rockies beat up on the Padres earlier this week and the D-Backs tonight (thank you DirecTV and their free MLB Extra Innings preview) and can't wait to see them live at Coors.

Are we still planning on the MHR-athon (MHR-con, whatever) this summer during training camp?

I need to start making reservations (as I'm sure that other need to do as well) and want to find out if the new administration at Dove Valley has changed our plans to get together in time for training camp.

We're looking at probably around August 7-13 (the original goal was to catch a Rockies series - looks like the Cubs) and we're hoping to hook up with you all at the same time.

Anyone have a status on where we are on this?

Former Broncos tight end Shannon Sharpe is among the 17 finalists who will be considered for election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Sharpe is one of four first-year eligible players being considered for election.

He caught 815 passes for 10,060 yards and 62 touchdowns in his career. When he retired, he was the all-time leader among tight ends in all three categories.

Looks like TD didn't make the next to final cut.

1. 98% of Americans will scream before going into a ditch on a slippery road.  The other 2% are from Colorado and say "Hold my pop and watch this"
2. You eat ice cream in the winter
3. It snows 5 inches and you don't expect school to be canceled
   
4. You wear flip flops every day of the year regardless of temperature
5. You have no accent at all but can hear other people's and you make fun of them
6. "Humid" is over 25%
7. Your sense of direction is: Toward the Mountains and Away from the Mountains
8. You say "Interstate" and everyone knows which one
9. You think May is a totally normal month for a blizzard
10. You buy flowers to set out on Mother's Day but try to hold off planting them until just before Father's Day
11. You grew up planning your Halloween costume around your coat
12. You know what the Continental Divide is
13. You don't think Coors beer is that big of a deal
14. You went to Casa Bonita as a kid (and as an adult)
15. You've gone off-roading in a vehicle that was never intended for such purposes
16. You always know the elevation of where you are
17. You wake up to a beautiful 80 degree day and wonder if it's going to snow tomorrow
18. You don't care if some company named it, the Broncos still play at Mile High
19. Everybody wears jeans to church
20. You actually know that South Park is a real place and not just a TV show
21. You know what a Trust Fund Hippy is and that its natural habitat is Boulder
22. You call it Elitch's, not Six Flags
23. A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you
24. Your two favorite teams are the Broncos and whoever is kicking the crap out of the faders
25. When people out East tell you their state has mountains to, you just laugh
26. You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels "sticky" and the sky is no longer blue

I can also personally add going out to get the paper in bare feet when there is snow on the ground.

My parents live south of Tucson, only have cable and are unable to watch any Bronco games (other than SNF and MNF).

My dad is caring for my mom (who is suffering from Alzheimer's-like dementia) and she really misses seeing her Broncos playing!

I told him about ways to get the game off the Internet, but having her sit in front of the computer for the entire game would be difficult.  I know that my laptop has a connection that will put out NTSC that will allow the screen to be converted to a TV signal, but he doesn't have a laptop and I'm not sure what kind of connections he does have on his computer.

So, the gist of this post is to ask all you guys that have to watch on the Internet how you watch the game?  Do you sit at the computer and watch it or have some kind of converter to display the game on a TV?  Does anyone know of a card or box that will convert the signal from a PC to a TV?

I appreciate any help the wise people at MHR can provide in helping this old Broncos fan help keep the spirit alive in a woman who taught him how to be a great Broncos fan.
