Alert the FCC.

The South Stands are going to sit at the adult's table (right next to old Uncle Les) for the next three Thursdays in a row.

This Thursday we are sitting in with Renaud Notaro from 6-8 PM.

On Thursday the 28th of June and on July 5th we will handling his show for his while he goes "on assignment". 

Please give us a listen, call in, text in, tweet us and all that Jazz.

Troy Renck Tweeted out the Rockies lineup card for their first game versus the Phillies within the past hour and the reaction on Twitter has been one disgust. No Tulo (he still doesn't know what's up with his groin). No Cargo (water on the knee). No Dex (are the fixing to move him?)

Today's lineup reads like an admission that this season is basically over.

Here are some responses from Twitter.

With the #Rockies best two hitters hurt and unavailable, Tracy has his 3rd best hitter on the bench the day after an off day. #headscratcher

Jim Tracy back to the "pull the lineup out of a hat" game. Absolutely ridiculous. #Rockies

I feel like Dan O'Dowd and Jim Tracy keep trying to push the envelope to see what they can get away with without being fired. #Rockies

One of the most irreverent and entertaining Broncos Blogs is one you might not have heard of.

We have made no secret of our extreme admiration for Footballguys.com and their Denver guy, future Bristol, Connetticut resident, Cecil Lammey (@cecillammey).

We friggin' love the Audible, the Foottballguys.com Podcast and we are all paid subscribers to the web site, which is the single most useful tool available to fantasy players BAR NONE!

Now, Footballguys is growing. Not only are they launching a magazine for tablets and mobile devices that promises THOUSANDS of pages of content, but Cecil is now hosting Footballguys TV on YouTube which is pure fantasy candy.

There are five episodes already and tons more to come. Hurry and enjoy it now, becuase we believe that Cecil is well on his way to a National gig. He's awesome.

In this Denver Post story from 2010, then Metro State head men's basketball coach told the paper:

"Colorado is the job I really want". Well, he didn't get it. It was Tad Boyle who instead replaced Jeff Bzdelik for the Buffaloes.

Prior to that missed job opportunity Dunlap, then a Nuggets assistant, was turned down by Oregon State for thier top job.

Dunlap was most recently an assistant coach at Saint John's.

But now he works for Michael Jordan. That's right. The guy who could not get his hands on a Division 1 COLLEGE job will now be coaching in the NBA. Well, sort of. He was named the head coach of the Charlotte Bobcats today, according to numerous reports.

The Rockies organization must stop blaming their pitchers (and their ballpark) for their nightmarish performances and get busy solving problems.

A special Fathers Day edition of the Quickie. It was actually quick this time.

I never attended a professional Sports event until I became an adult  capable of buying myself a ticket.

As far as playing organized youth Sports was concerned,well, that was for the other kids - the kids whos parents were willing to invest the time, drive to the park, toss the ball around a little, shop for gear - all that stuff.

My mom signed me up to play two seasons of rec soccer - but I hated it. Too much running. I wanted to play baseball. But Baseball was too expensive. We were barely getting by.

I grew up without a sense of team and without the bond with my father that only Sports could have provided. I hope my son will have it.

I'm a Sports Dad.

I knew even before my son was born that I wanted to be one.

I wasn't going to let him grow up with the same regret I have.

My wife and I are, thankfully, better off than my parents were. The cost of having our kids involved in Sports pales by comparison to the cost of not doing so.

My son is eleven.  He's a middling baseball player with a fairly steady bat (he loves the game), an awkward soccer player and a promising swimmer. My daughter, who is five, is also involved in soccer and is the more natural athlete of my kids by far. I predict that she will be a track star someday. Maybe a basketball player.

I live for taking them to practices and attending their games. Nothing is more meaningful. 

Maybe they will stick with sports. Maybe they won't. I won't push them either way. But I will die knowing that they had the opportunity to play and that they tried. 

We have a ticket stub collection in a drawer beneath the television in our living room. There are nearly a hundred little peices of paper in there and each of them represent the memory of a time we spent together, cheering on our teams - live and in person.

Between Broncos, Avalanche, Nuggets and Rockies games I have spent thousands of dollars making sure that my kids are exposed to Sports. I want them to grow up as fans like me so that we will always share that connection.

I shout "Marco". They shout "Scutaro".  We all clap for Tulo. And, on Broncos Sundays, it's all about the dip.

On this Fathers Day I am thinking about Sports and the role they play in my life as a Dad.

It's the South Stands Denver Sports Quickie for Saturday, June 16, 2012. I explore the state of the Colorado Rockies, ask the question "are we being too hard on Joel Klatt?", stand up for Rockies fans and talk a little Pacman. Enjoy.
