Casey swiped through profiles on Bumble, feeling a mixture of hope and skepticism. He wasn’t sure about online dating; to him, it felt like shopping on Amazon...

As he scrolled through, one profile caught his eye – Sarah, the KU Jayhawk/Denver Broncos fan with a beautiful smile. Her bright blue eyes and adventurous spirit seemed to leap off the screen like a long bomb from Elway to McCaffrey.

They matched, and Sarah started the conversation. What began as a casual chat quickly became an animated discussion about their shared love for the Broncos, their mutual admiration for KU Basketball, and their general distaste for dating in Los Angeles. Messages flew back and forth, each reply revealing more about their personalities and interests...then Sarah demanded they speak on the phone, you know, like people did before the internet simultaneously changed our lives for the better and also ruined everything forever.

Things took a potential turn for the worse when the topic of baseball came up. But Casey, a die-hard Red Sox fan, was quickly forgiven by Sarah, a blue-blood Dodger fan. That makes sense, considering half the Dodgers' roster are former Red Sox players, as Casey often points out.

Despite their differing allegiances, there was a spark or a BUZZ (Bumble) in their conversation that neither could deny.

The conversation progressed from sports to a shared passion for adventure, travel, movies, and music, among many other topics. It was the love for adventure and creativity... their belief in "saying yes" to experiencing what life had to offer that truly cemented their connection.

Finally, they decided to meet in person. Casey nervously awaited their first date, his mind buzzing with excitement and curiosity about the girl who shared his interests and challenged his baseball loyalties.

When Sarah walked into Rocco's in Culver City, Casey's nerves melted away. She had an aura of warmth and confidence that immediately put him at ease. Their conversation flowed effortlessly, laughter punctuating every story they shared.

As they sipped their drinks and watched the Broncos last-second kick a field goal to beat the Panthers in the home opener of the 2016 football season, the hours passed like minutes, and before they knew it, the sun had set. Reluctant to part ways, they decided to extend their date with a spontaneous adventure to the Culver Hotel bar. As they sat side by side, Casey told Sarah old Hollywood stories about the famous Culver Hotel (Wizard Of Oz, Charlie Chaplin, John Wayne to name a few) in an effort to sound educated or as they say in Boston, "smaaahhht" - Sarah humored him so much that he quickly realized he'd found someone special.

Their love for adventure had led them to this moment, and it was then that Casey knew: whether it was baseball team arguments or embarking on thrilling escapades, he wanted Sarah by his side.

From that day forward, Casey and Sarah's relationship blossomed, their love growing stronger with each shared adventure and their differing team loyalties became a charming part of their story, a reminder that, sometimes, love transcends even the fiercest sports rivalries.
