It's almost media day. Time when, despite the fall air creeping in, thoughts of renewal and hope creep in. Is there any hope for the Denver Nuggets? We will find out.
Somewhere along the line I went from the guy who wrote a weekly column called "Weekly Optimism" to a fairly cynical human who is known for what Andrew Feinstein calls "conspiracy theories" (they aren't theories if they're TRUE). I'm not sure when or where it happened.
The Denver Nuggets have been a passion of mine since I was really young, but two consecutive seasons of sub par to quite frankly miserable basketball have turned this once optimistic soul into jaded "Old Man Morton" (as a certain former colleague called me).
