On this episode of The Other Tom Green Show, Tom welcomes longtime Denver sports columnist and comedian Sam Adams for a wide-ranging, candid, and hilarious conversation. Sam reflects on his Cleveland roots, his unlikely journey to Denver, and how a Greyhound bus ticket and a missing suitcase eventually led him to a career in sportswriting and comedy.

The two dive into the storied rivalry between Denver and Cleveland, reliving the heartbreak and history of The Drive and The Fumble before connecting the dots to LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Nikola Jokić. Sam shares behind-the-scenes stories from his days covering Colorado sports, the mentorship of Woody Paige, and the influence of icons like Irv Brown.

He also opens up about the leap from journalism to stand-up—recounting the night he blanked on stage, the viral “True Colors” bit that racked up millions of views, and the surreal experience of performing in a town dubbed “the most racist city in America.” Along the way, you’ll hear unforgettable anecdotes about Tiger Woods, Charles Barkley, and Michael Jordan—and how comedy, race, and resilience have shaped Sam’s career.

Funny, raw, and deeply human, this episode captures Sam Adams at his very best: a storyteller who can make you laugh while pulling you into the heart of sports and life in Denver and beyond.
