Amazing Irv

Irv Brown was in Brighton today.
The local talk-show host, former NCAA basketball official, former baseball coach and present employee of the Denver Nuggets spent an hour talking basketball, trading cards and passing along some sage advice for a group of 5- to 8-year-olds attending a basketball camp at the Brighton Recreation Center. The story will be in next week's Brighton Standard Blade and will be on the Web site shortly thereafter.
Aside from his knowledge of sports and the people who played the games from today to once upon a time – and the fact he is as entertaining in person as he is on the air – Irv Brown is the last of the talkers on any medium who understands that talk radio is conversational. That gets a big plus in my book.
He engaged everyone in his talk today – parents, campers, city employees, a school district employee and two members of the press. It was fun to watch.
