    Tim Tebow's rib injury v. Patriots like Jesus's wounds? Stop crucifying him!

    Tweeters have crucified Tim Tebow for his play in Saturday's 45-10 loss to the New England Patriots -- and now it turns out that during the game, he sustained an injury very much like the one that at least temporarily killed Jesus Christ. Who rose again in fulfillment of the scriptures, if memory s ... More >>

    Week of a Woman photo contest ends; let's see what develops!

    ​Now that I've submitted my entry in the Colorado Mills "Week of a Woman" contest, I can reflect on how well I represented my sex.

    I know, I know. Women who do not have children are supposed to love cats. They are supposed to dress them up in onesies and push them around in strollers.

    Reader: Tim Tebow could be phony about his faith, and if he is, the truth will come out

    Tim Tebow.​Kyle Garratt's analysis of a recent ESPN Outside the Lines feature on Tim Tebow touched on the debate about whether or not the QB's overt declarations of faith make him a polarizing figure.

    Judgment Day is coming, but what does it mean? You be the judge

    ​Less than 24 hours from judgment day, there's apparently still plenty of time to quibble over just what, exactly, Boulder-born Harold Camping has predicted will happen to the world on May 21, as advertised on an end-of-the-world billboard that popped up in town last month.
