Peter Brand and Bubba Thumper take the stage in front of a small audience of media members, and Brand steps to the podium. He breathes in deeply, lets loose a heavy sigh, and speaks: "Alright, everybody here knows the drill by now. Mr. Thumper and I are here to field your questions to the best of our ability. So, let's begin".
At this point, Brand steps away from the podium and begins to berate the journalist who posed the question; it takes Bubba holding him back to prevent him from leaving the stage. Brand eventually composes himself, and returns to the podium, apologizing briefly to the journalist before moving forward.

What plans do you have to get back there next season?PB: "Our goal is always to field the best roster we can, because that's always what we feel gives us the best chance to have Ultimus-level success. We already feel good about this roster, and the offseason has been devoted to looking at it under the microscope to see what small adjustments we might need to make to improve our chances long term."

What is it that Colorado has to has to offer those looking for their next team?PB: "Colorado is a team of championship caliber talent. Every player who walks through our doors, they're here because they want to be a winner, and Colorado is proving that we're a team that can win at the highest level. We've worked hard to build a culture of championship level players and people, and we're always going to strive for that."

We explored our options this offseason, but ultimately we feel we would need Wolfie to continue to have the success we've had, and so we gave him a one year deal in hopes that he can prove us all wrong."

I'm not satisfied with how things ended, because I know what we left on the table. This team is capable of winning it all, and so we're looking at everything, making our adjustments, hoping we can get back to the big one this season."

Brand bars him from leaving the stage, but clearly Bubba is unhappy with the question, and the reporter slinks back into the shadows to avoid further backlash.
Did you check if Mr. Thumper did regression already?

This offseason is about going and getting what we want for our future."

I want my roots to be clear in the food we create, and tacos are a large part of that, but I think more broadly we're looking at Tex-Mex."

(07-27-2020, 12:27 PM)TomHanks Wrote:What will you consider to be a successful season next year?BT: "I think with the extended season, 12 sacks is well within reach for me. I want to hit that number. Anything less is going to make my job reaching the top of the list harder."
