I Have a Question...

Yes, I wrote about a toy car I got for Christmas in 1978. I also shared a heartfelt story about a little girl with cancer. I took you golfing to San Diego and on a raft trip down the Royal Gorge. Certainly none of these stories pertain to the world of hockey, but as Bob Costas once said, “If you’re always telling people what they already know, you’re not really telling them anything at all.” Over the last five months or so I have dipped into subjects like the Tim Tebow-Jeremy Lin debate, winning streaks, acquisitions of players through trades, Mark Rycroft’s’ path from hockey to Scooter-Mania, and the race to raise Lord Stanley’s Cup.

My question is simple…what do you want to hear about?

I read a lot of different blogs on the internet, some I really enjoy, and others seem too mundane and rehearsed, like watching the 5 o’clock news and the expecting different results at 6pm. Isn’t that the definition of insanity? Sorry Jeremy, no pun intended, although you’re story has been so magnified, I pray you stay on top. So much of what we read on the internet is just regurgitated garbage especially in sports. For instance, if you watch a morning run of Sports Center, get caught up on last nights’ action and then hop in your car and turn on the radio, it’s the exact same entrée with a little vinegar and salt, but nothing new. So goes the internet, all twisted in some other fashion to make you see the big picture from a different vantage point and a different opinion. But are you learning anything? Do you want to learn anything? Or would you settle for simply being entertained? If I write a re-cap from the week in hockey, do you enjoy reading it?  After all the whole point of writing a blog is to connect with people through a message that makes them stop and think….and eventually agree or disagree. Either way, the reader has to stop and think. Is it so bad to take a break from every run down story, and take your mind in a different direction?  A story about normal life, things that happen to you and me as we drive into work. Memories of being a child. Friends that have sick children, or a long weekend with buddies. Maybe it is….

So I put the ball in your court. What do you want to know about? Any question for a player, a good story idea, a new twist on the hot topic of the week…you tell me what you want to know about and I will do my best to give you an answer.

With a twist of course.

Fire away, I’m listening.

I would like to know if Mark Rycroft is planning on hockey blogging. I really like his insight on the game, he's probably the best analyst on Altitude right now.

Kyle,
You write so well that I've enjoyed EVERYTHING you've written. For me, I like hearing about the "everyday" stuff including personal. Hockey being my favorite sport (die hard Av's fan!) any insight from you or Mark is always welcomed.
I, too, would love to see a blog from Mark. Refreshing to hear someone tell it like it is & not what "I better say".

[Kyle]

Well thanks you two. I really appreciate the comments...Let me ask Mark tommorow if he would like to write a blog. He really is a great guy with a very cool spin on things. His honesty is awesome. Let me ask him and I will get back at you!

What is a typical game day like for you?
What do you do during the game?
What is the studio like?
What are you looking at when I'm looking at you on TV?
How many indecent proposals do you and Mark get through AskTheAnalyst?
Best player interview experience.
Worst player interview experience.
What are some All Access player moments that could never make it on TV. There has to be some good ones.
Your opinion on the state of hockey in Colorado.

Those are just off the top of my head. I can probably come up with lots more. Thanks for blogging and for your work on Altitude. My wife and I always look forward to watching Keefe/Rycroft post game shows.

Kyle, I'm late getting back to this post. I think you should continue to write about the kinds of things you've already written about. I'm primarily interested in your work covering the Avalanche, but I like the humor and perspective in your writing. I just subscribed to your blog's Atom feed so I can keep up. So keep it coming!
