I think that one of those things that is a touchstone that comes up every single broadcast, not just with the Denver Nuggets, a whole team, but with the entire city of Denver, the entire sports town, it is never not mentioned the altitude and the advantage that that gives the whole team.

5280.

Everybody talks about that.

Shouldn't all of Denver sports teams, shouldn't they all be ashamed for not winning more?

If this is such an advantage for them, shouldn't they be more dominant, all of them at home?

Okay, we can give a pass to the Rockies, but shouldn't the Nuggets and Avs win all their home games?

If it's such an advantage, oh, and you got to go to high altitude, good luck, your lungs can't handle it, then shouldn't the Nugs be, like I say, undefeated every season?

But right, though?

I mean, how much do we have to hear about this with it having no apparent impact?

For decades now.

Oh, the altitude.

Oh, it's a factor that you have to deal with if you're a visitor.

Shouldn't point spreads favor the Nuggets more than they already do?

Shouldn't the Nuggets?

Well, the Nuggets, the home road splits for the Nuggets and Avs should be much greater than they are.

The Broncos, too.

They're lumped in, too.

I don't care that you have to play with your backup quarterback.

The Patriots have to play in thin air.

Okay, that's better.
