    Colorado Avalanche-Arby's 4-Pack deal should be sent to the penalty box

    ​I'm a big hockey fan and have been since junior high, when my Penguins won their first two Stanley Cups and the Pittsburgh suburb where I grew up exploded with joy. But I'm now a working Colorado father and the NHL has all but priced out middle-class families, with many upper-level tickets sp ... More >>

    Flowzie, a shotgun koozie, is here . . . finally

    A cleaner, colder way to shotgun a beer.​After years of cutting dangerous and jagged holes in beer cans then awkwardly cranking our heads sideways in order to drink a beer in 4.2 seconds, our long national struggle is over: Fluid N Motion has invented the Flowzie, a shotgun koozie that keeps b ...

    ​Drunk driving of the sort that allegedly took the life of Lilly Duncan earlier this month is always a concern, but even more so during a three-day weekend like Memorial Day. With that in mind, BeMyDD.com, a new designated-driver service, has just launched in Denver. How does it work?

    Quiznos' new commercials are the freakiest things we've ever seen -- but will they sell?

    ​The Denver-bred Quiznos chain is an odd duck. While its toasted sandwiches are now sold coast to coast, it's courted controversy because of its franchise practices.

    Innerstate Ike's Moolah Water flows

    ​In the independent hustle of hip-hop, the mantra is: Get in where you fit in. It's all about expansion, new business ventures and more compelling promotion of the music.

    Top 5 Worst Product Placements in Videos

    ​It's understandable to sneak in a little ad placement all up in your video, but when the product makes more appearances than the musician? There's a problem.

    Activision tries to connect with consumers via 4chan, gets nothing but dinosaurs

    What, no dinosaurs? Lame.​What do you get when a popular game company swallows its pride and asks the anonymous users of 4chan's video game forum why they didn't like the new Call of Duty?

    Boulder to host first Beer Bloggers and Social Media Conference
