Tom Green welcomes Romi Bean of CBS4 Denver for an in-depth conversation about the evolution of women in sports media, the realities of building a broadcasting career without traditional journalism training, and the importance of developing an authentic voice. Romi opens up about her early struggles with imposter syndrome, the stigma she faced after beginning her career as a Broncos cheerleader, and how she learned to establish herself as a respected sports journalist in a demanding industry. The discussion explores how social media has changed audience engagement, the pressure and criticism women in broadcasting continue to face, and why mental toughness is essential in modern media.

The conversation then shifts to Colorado sports, where Romi and Tom break down the Broncos’ playoff matchup with Buffalo, the pressure surrounding Josh Allen versus Bo Nix, and the role of defense and leadership in postseason football. They also reflect on the Nuggets, Avalanche, and the broader golden era of Denver sports, along with insights into locker room culture across different professional leagues. It’s a thoughtful, candid episode that blends media perspective with deep sports knowledge and personal storytelling.
