-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About Tyler Maun: Tyler is a Denver native, born and raised in the Mile High City until he left for college at the impressionable age of 18. After a year in the wheat fields of the Palouse region of eastern Washington at Washington State University, he decided against another few years of having to drive to Idaho to go to Wal-Mart and/or Taco Bell and transferred to the bustling metropolis of Lincoln, Neb. As a student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Tyler interned at ESPN Radio affiliate KLMS 1480 under Chris Schmidt and the formerly-named "Average Joe Sports Show." Prior to graduating in May 2007, Tyler hosted a sports-talk radio show on the University of Nebraska's radio station and was one of the station's play-by-play voices for Huskers football, basketball and baseball. His red bias remains to this day, despite what he may say.
 

Tyler finds himself oddly upset at the legions of fans jumping back on the Rockies bandwagon after he and few others had to suffer through the eras of such stalwart men of the purple pinstripes as Todd Zeile, Bobby Estalella, Jeff Fassero and Jose Hernandez. But if you're filling the stands in July with the team six games back, he'll forgive you. He obsesses over tiny details in sports, especially all things uniform-related. He is the owner of a perhaps one-of-a-kind Matt Holliday 2006 World Baseball Classic Team USA jersey, as well as a replica of a 1930 Denver White Elephants Negro League team jersey and a1959 Denver Bears replica. Tyler attended the first Rockies home game in history with EY's shot-heard-round-the-world, the home opener at Coors Field with Dante Bichette's walk-off 14th inning jack, the Rockies' Wild Card-clinching win over the Giants in 1995, every Rockies home postseason game in history, the 1997 home game in which Darrien Gordon returned two punt for a touchdowns in the same quarter, John Elway's last ever home game, clinching Denver's second straight AFC title in 1998, and some other good ones. Throw in countless Nuggets games and some Avs' ones as well. They're all good ones when you're there, right?

Favorite Team: Anything in Denver (Rockies, Broncos, Nuggets, Avs in that order), and yes, yes I went to Nebraska, so that one's obvious

Favorite Athlete: Craig House, former Rockies reliever. An unspectacular career, but he had a delivery that makes my friends and I debate to this day whether or not it was a balk.

Best Interview Subject: The meaning of sports beyond the field (think cheesy Tom Rinaldi stories)

Best Game I Ever Saw in Person: Too many to name. Pretty obvious now, but the 2007 Wild Card Tiebreaker between the Rockies and Padres. Seriously, what more could you want? Or Dec. 6, 1998, the Broncos come from behind to beat the Chiefs 35-31 to go to 13-0

Best Game I Ever Saw in Person: Avs vs. Wild, game six of the 2004 Stanley Cup Playoffs when Richard Park scored five-hole on Patrick Roy to force game seven. Loudest arena I have ever heard. When Park scored, it was so loud, you couldn't hear that obnoxious fog horn.
