• Snowblower safety tips for Joe Sakic

  As soon as I heard that Joe Sakic had broken three fingers in a freak snowblower accident, I immediately flashed on all the other bizarre injuries suffered by Colorado athletes in recent years -- and I wasn't alone. The Rocky Mountain News' Dave Krieger -- who made our list of marquee talents the Denver Post should hire if the Rocky folds -- took on the subject in a column dubbed "Sakic Did What? Say It Ain't So, Joe," while USA Today's Reid Cherner and Tom Weir took things even further with "S

• Meet new Broncos QB Kyle Orton, party dude

  A photo of Kyle Orton from BustedCoverage.com. Excited about the Broncos getting Chicago Bears underachiever Kyle Orton in trade for rocket-armed, soft-headed Jay Cutler? You'll be even more psyched after eyeballing some of the photos of Orton gettin' down with his bad self in the company of lovely ladies and/or bottles of demon alky-hol. How long before he makes headlines for falling down driveways, Brian Griese-style? Can't wait for that flashback... The shot above comes courtesy of BustedCo

• Battle of the super drinks! A comparison of miracle juice supplements

  With former Denver Broncos like John Elway and Brian Griese chugging down Bazi like it were the almighty sweat of Zeus, the liquid nutritional supplement by local company XELR8 is building a strong following here in Colorado. But unless you've been personally hit up by one of the company's 6,400-or-so independent distributors, you've likely never heard of Bazi or its supposed health-and-wealth-building powers discussed in this week's Westword cover story. Actually, Bazi is just one of several

• Kyle Orton looking like Brian Griese 2.0

  Kyle Orton.​Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton received mostly positive reviews for his performance in Saturday's preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks -- so much so that most of the local media, in particular, seemed to ignore the fact that the Denver crew lost 27-13. But while Orton's stats were certainly an improvement on his Broncos debut against the San Francisco 49ers, when the main debate in succeeding days was whether he'd been better or worse than newly minted Chicago Bear Jay C

• Mixed messages about Brandon Marshall -- as usual

  Pout, Brandon, pout.​Another day, another series of contradictory stories about perennial Shmuck of the Week Brandon Marshall. First, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Broncos were exploring a contract extension for Marshall mere days after his preseason suspension for acting like a two-year old in shoulder pads. Since then, numerous sources have perforated that rumor, with the consensus being that the Broncos want to wait to shower Marshall with cash until they see how he plays on hi

• Kyle Orton: Not very good, but a really good guy

  Kyle Orton, swell fellow.​The Broncos' miracle win against the Cincinnati Bengals has inspired the sort of out-of-proportion optimism among fans that will almost certainly be crushed, and crushed brutally, a few weeks from now -- especially as it concerns quarterback Kyle Orton, who had a miserable game. True, former Broncos QB Jay Cutler looked awful, too, in his debut under center for the Chicago Bears -- but at least his errant passes had some zip to them, as opposed to the lazy wobbler

• Kyle Orton winds up under the bus again

  The Broncos' hopes rest on Kyle Orton. And no, that's not a misprint.​Another day, another dopey Denver Post sports column about Broncos QB Kyle Orton. First, it was Woody Paige arguing that Orton should be benched in favor of backup Chris Simms -- an idea whose stupidity was proven by Simms' ineptitude after coming in for an injured KO against the Redskins. And now, Mark Kiszla argues that if Orton doesn't play against San Diego this weekend despite an ankle injury, "he is done as the qu
