• 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

• Broncos Country is not happy about Josh McDaniels. Broncos Country is wrong.

  What are people saying about the Broncos' new coach? Well ... Terrell Davis, the former Bronco and current NFL Network analyst, thinks McDaniels, at 32, is too young. The Mile High Report thinks he's too much like Belichick. Our own Michael Roberts thinks he's too offensive-minded. The Rocky's Dave Krieger thinks Pat Bowlen is trying to "recapture his glory days" by hiring an up-and-coming offensive coach like Mike Shanahan. ESPN's Skip Bayless -- a fucking cancer on sports journalism who I wat

• Rocky Mountain News scribes get self-reflective

  Business writer David Milstead and sports columnist Dave Krieger (pictured) are two of the genuine standouts on the Rocky Mountain News staff -- and in the past day or so, both have penned articles that consider the plight of their paper, which was put up for sale by parent company E.W. Scripps last month.

• Denver Post to add Rocky Mountain News voices

  Photo by Anthony Camera.Kevin Vaughan, a Rocky reporter who'll soon be writing for the Denver Post. Almost two months ago, Michael Roberts offered an all-star list of five Rocky Mountain News staffers that he suggested the Denver Post hire should the News shut down.Now, with the News's last day tomorrow, the Post has announced that it's adding a handful of News employees, and three of them were on Roberts's list: columnist Mike Littwin, workhorse reporter Lynn Bartels, and sports writer Dave Kr

• Q&A with David Milstead about the death of the Rocky Mountain News and the future of the Denver Post

  David Milstead. The most dogged and enterprising journalist to write about the Rocky Mountain News' closure saga came from the Rocky's own newsroom. Business columnist and reporter David Milstead broke story after story. For example, he unearthed a confidential letter from executives at E.W. Scripps, the Rocky's former owner, revealing that the Denver Post borrowed $13 million from the Denver Newspaper Agency to fund its newsroom -- but the DNA couldn't repeat this feat because banks wouldn't l

• Ex-Rocky Mountain Newser Tracy Ringolsby carrying on -- after being stranded by Scripps

  Tracy Ringolsby. Lots of folks expected that Hall of Fame baseball writer Tracy Ringolsby would be among the former Rocky Mountain News journalists who'd find a new home at the Denver Post, including us. He was one of the five Rocky stars we thought might soon be moving from one floor of the Denver Newspaper Agency building to another. In the end, however, three of our picks -- Mike Littwin, Dave Krieger and Lynn Bartels -- got the nod, while Ringolsby was left on the sidelines along with ass-k

• Josh McDaniels and Jay Cutler: Can this bromance be saved?

  Here they are, Josh and Jay: your new role models. "Not sure I actually wanted to revisit high school, but thanks to the Broncos, we don't have much choice," writes Dave Krieger at the top of his Denver Post column this morning, and truer words were never typed. During interviews yesterday, Broncos coach Josh McDaniels came across like a typical jerky boyfriend as he offered praise for his onetime paramour -- in this case, QB Jay Cutler -- between comments that felt mighty passive-aggressive.

• Former Rocky Mountain News reporter Gargi Chakrabarty leaving Denver Post

  Gargi Chakrabarty, left, at a DU awards ceremony last year. When the Rocky Mountain News went down for the count in February, the Denver Post brought aboard a slew of the tabloid's brand names: Mike Littwin, Dave Krieger, Lynn Bartels, Kevin Vaughan, etc. In addition, the paper also reached out to a onetime Rocky reporter who had not yet become a household name: Gargi Chakrabarty. But local journalists weren't surprised that she was singled out. In her nearly six years as a reporter at the Rock

• Who are the tweetest of the Denver Post's Twitterers?

  Lots of news organizations, including this one, have embraced Twitter -- but few have done so with as much vigor (and volume) as the Denver Post. The broadsheet's Twitter page lists more than twenty feeds specific to the paper, with some contributed by departments or topics (e.g. crime news and politics) and others from specific individuals -- among them, business writer Andy Vuong and editorial writer Chuck Plunkett. But most of them are purely utilitarian, plugging articles and the like. Ind

• Welcome to Roctover, where hope and promise reign but one big question lingers

  A Flickr photo.​The end of baseball season is always a sad day, no matter when or how it ends. It means, among other things, that Saturday-afternoon errands will no longer be buoyed by the baseball on the car radio; that excuses to drink $9 drafts and yell at grown men are limited to Sundays; that this thing, this force, that's been with you every day since March is now officially in hibernation, stored neatly in the recesses of Coors Field (or wherever they keep these guys) until spring.
