Sean Keeler

Sean Keeler joined The Denver Post this week to cover college and professional sports for us, focusing on larger take-out stories. He comes from LandOf10.com in Des Moines, Iowa, where he was a columnist covering the Big 10. We thought it would be good to spend today’s Denver Sports Omelette helping you get to know Sean as he finds his footing in Denver, which has few more elevation gains scattered around town than anywhere in the Hawkeye State. Matt Stephens: What piqued your interest in covering the Denver sports scene? Sean Keeler: The teams, first off. The Rockies are (allegedly) full of all kinds of characters, besides being one of the sneaky good franchises in a sneaky good N.L. West. The Broncos are compelling when they’re competitive and downright fascinating when they’re not. The Nuggets and Avs are trotting out maybe the best under-the-radar young rosters in the NBA and NHL, respectively. Matt: Before joining us at The Denver Post, what was your sports reporting experience? Sean: Most recently, I’m coming off two years at Land of 10, which was a digital-only Big Ten football vertical that was launched in 2016 by Cox Media Group and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. My primary focus — at least initially — was the Big Ten West, but the role turned into everything from following Jim Harbaugh around Italy to talking golf with Larry The Cable Guy (nice guy, actually, and a Huskers fan who knows his stuff.) Before that, I did some contract work with American Sports Network (RIP) and before that, had a three-year run in Kansas City as a regional writer/columnist with FOX Sports. Was blessed to work as a sports columnist and features writer for The Des Moines Register, the newspaper that got me into newspapers in the first place, from 2002-2011, and had a three-year tour of duty at The Cincinnati Post (also RIP) covering colleges and the Bengals before the Register afforded me the chance to go back to my home state and family. Matt: Now that you’re living in Colorado, what will you miss most about Iowa? Sean: Family.
