98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: Is using coupons embarrassing?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:20:23 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Dan and it's about coupons. Here's his email: Get the latest news, weather, sports and more delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. Here's your dilemma. My wife and I keep arguing over the fact that I don’t like to use coupons when I shop. I don’t know why I don’t like to use coupons but they make me feel weird. She on the other hand uses any coupon she can get her hands on. My car is filled with grocery store coupons and Kohl’s cash. So now when she sends me there to pick us stuff for her, she expects me to use the coupons, but I usually don’t and tell her I did. Now she’s checking the receipts to make sure I used the coupons and we're getting into a lot of fights about it. She thinks I need therapy for my quote “coupon phobia” but I don’t think it’s that strange to not want to use coupons. So, I want to know if there are any other listeners out there who don’t like to use coupons and refuse to do so like me? Tha...

Keeler: Will Deion Sanders fix CU Buffs football? Heck yeah, his mentor says. Here’s why. “Can’t fake winning. Can’t fake toughness.”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:20:23 GMT

BOULDER — One question, Mickey Andrews. Just one. Is this thing gonna work?“He told me when they started their offseason program,” Andrews, one of Deion Sanders’ oldest and most beloved mentors, recalled by phone when I asked about the 2023 Buffs. “He told me, ‘Coach, there’s just not many guys out here that show they want to win bad enough.’“You can’t fake winning. It’s just like toughness. Can’t fake toughness. Either you’ve got it or you don’t.”Andrews thinks CU gets there under Coach Prime. Eventually.“I’m anxious to see how that bunch does,” the former Florida State defensive coordinator, 81 years young, continued.“You know (Sanders) is working his heinie off to make sure those guys represent Colorado in the right kind of way. And it hasn’t been that way lately.”The honeymoon either crashes to a halt Saturday or goes straight into orbit. The Coach Prime Era starts as a 20-point road dog at No. 17 TCU. This story could go in about 14 different directions, and anybody who t...

In better place mentally, Randy Gregory is ready to help Broncos defense reach new heights: “How can someone that big be that quick and strong?”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:20:23 GMT

Randy Gregory has more to give. He doesn’t need to be reminded of that.The 30-year-old edge rusher knows he has never played a full season in his career and that a knee injury limited him to six games in 2022 after the Broncos gave him a five-year, $70 million contract.For Gregory to make good on Denver’s investment, he must win the battle within. Yes, Gregory’s physical health is essential to staying on the field and being the electrifying pass rusher who’s impressed teammates and head coach Sean Payton. But he knows the mental aspect will allow him to handle the ups and downs of an NFL season.Entering Year 2 in the Mile High City, Gregory believes he is in the right headspace to help a formidable defense reach another level.“Everyone is tied up on the physical, (but) the biggest thing for me this offseason was getting the mental (aspect) down,” Gregory said. “Being able to fight those little mental battles. You are going to have bad plays, (so) put them behind you and move o...

Coach Prime, Rams and Mines, oh my! How to plan perfect Colorado college football road trip for 2023, week by week.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:20:23 GMT

If Coach Prime has you thinking that Boulder, and not Athens, Ga., is the epicenter of the college football universe, he might not be wrong.But the potential narratives around the Front Range run wilder than Ralphie at full tilt. Within 75 miles of downtown Denver, you can watch Deion Sanders in person (for a price), the defending Division II national runners-up and more live mascots per capita than an Animal Planet marathon.Heck, if you wanted to plan a road trip of just Front Range games between now and Thanksgiving, there’s something for just about everybody each and every week. Want to check out the reigning winner of the Harlon Hill Trophy, the Division II Heisman? Mines quarterback John Matocha is back slinging it in Golden. Dig trophy games? CSU is playing in two of them over back-to-back weekends.To that end, the Denver Post sports staff has laid out a planner for a drivable 2023 college football tour of Front Range games over the next few months — although with a couple of ...
