News Article: Colorado Avalanche Media Coverage Part VI

[SB]

Probably trying to pick guys who already lived in the area. I don’t know for sure if Yan did but I know Ken Klee has been living in Colorado forever, well before he actually played for the Avs.

Yeah, Klees have been there a long time. I even played tennis with his wife once. (She's quite good, btw.)

Is throwing bean bags into a hole an American thing? Are there actual places where you can go and do this?

Not only are there places to play this game ( frequently called 'corn hole') but it is actually on ESPN and other minor sports networks. There is a 'professional' league which I do not understand, because I always felt that this activity requires a lot of beer drinking, but the professionals take it very seriously and only drink Monster, or whatever drink sponsors them (but not beer.). Of course, Americans - for many years - religiously watched bowling on TV.

This game. It's gotten pretty popular in the U.S over the past 10ish years.

It's needed a new name for some time now. "Throw Bags" probably isn't it, but it's still miles improved over "cornhole".

Cornhole just sounds so crass for some reason.

I absolutely love it.

It’s called Cornhole. That’s the name of the game. I don’t know what this “Throw Bags” nonsense is but that’s not what it’s called.

Big in the Chicago area. Bars with outdoor spaces and backyards. Pairs well with drinking, it’s just like shuffleboard.

Dude plays 2B for the Braves. You all had no shot.

That's the life of a sports media girl...have your parents pay for your BA in communications from Northwestern University, find a random sport, get hired being eye candy, be single long enough, and do enough interviews to find a young also single athletic stud that makes seven to eight figures (not that baseballers are athletic though). I wish all the happiness to Lauren though, you can tell she was a genuinely good person, but the cycle of these women never changes.

Well I'm a late 30s accountant who works part time and plays a lot of golf and video games. If I had just tried...
