I've had a chance to get over some jetlag and it's good to be back in El Paso. Denmark was amazing! Great people, incredible food, and some beautiful scenery. While I was gone, the Brett Favre soap opera included some new plot twists, a couple of big trades occured in baseball, and Rafael Nadal and Roger Federrer played one of the greatest matches in the history of tennis. Congratulations to "The Monster", Mando Medina for becoming the new host of Crunchtime. Mando's enthusiasm and his desire to return to the KROD airwaves should make for a very entertaining three hours every Saturday morning from King's X. It's funny how different the sports coverage is in Europe. Soccer is king, and many Danish sports fans root for Liverpool because of Danish star Danny Agger. I must have seen dozens of soccer jerseys while we traveled along the walking streets in Copenhagen. They are also closely following the Tour De France, despite the doping scandal that's resulted in 3 riders being sent home. I was surprised to find out that the NFL is growing in Denmark. Each week three games are shown on cable television, and they are very familiar with Tom Brady, Tony Romo, and the other stars of the NFL.
