We've been fishing for blogs about Denver. Here are the catches of the day.

In a Mile High Report fan post, isaiahkyler surveys readers about whether Tim Tebow deserves an NFL nickname yet. At this writing, most people think it's too soon -- but others suggest alternatives to The Mile High Messiah, including "Shiny Tim," "The Truth," "OJ" (for "Orange Jesus") and our favorite, The Big Tebowski. Dude!

5280's AJ Vicens has the lowdown on a doctor linked to several Colorado pros (including Rockies closer Huston Street) who's been accused of providing a retired NFL baller with human growth hormone. It's a pointed item.

The Colorado Independent's John Tomasic writes that congressional candidate Ryan Frazier's new ad pitches him as the anti-Obama. Insert your own politically incorrect joke here.
