• History being made in Washington, D.C. -- and the Super Bowl

  During his regular midday show yesterday, KOOL 105 midday host Hollywood Henderson (pictured) talked about two impending events that he never thought would occur in his lifetime: today's inauguration of Barack Obama as America's first African-American president -- and the perennially laughable Arizona Cardinals advancing to the Super Bowl. Kinda puts things in perspective, doesn't it?

• Denver ranks among U.S.'s least wasteful cities

  Denver: America's sixth-least wasteful city. We may drive a lot, use a lot of condoms and consume a lot of beer in plastic cups while cursing the Broncos' defense, but all in all, Denverites are not too wasteful a bunch, according to a recent survey that looks about as scientific as my assertion that we consume a lot of beer in plastic cups, which I more or less made up. The 2009 Nalgene Least Wasteful Cities Study, conducted by the Earth-conscious bottle makers at Nalgene, surveyed (very few)

• Brandon Marshall headed back to court on domestic-violence charges

  Broncos wide receiver/resident diva Brandon Marshall has vowed to show up for training camp -- not because he's a loyal teammate, but because he's "not gonna let them take more money." And a little luck -- or perhaps a little help from a friendly judge or scheduler -- could keep him in camp despite an August hearing for his ongoing domestic-abuse case. The web site CompleteColorado.com is reporting that Marshall's next appearance is scheduled for August 13, which happens to be a rare off-day on

• Kyle Orton vs. Jay Cutler: Who was worse?

  Kyle Orton wearing an expression that didn't cross his face Friday night.​On Friday, I pointed out that the team photo on the Denver Broncos' website was taken in 2007 -- and once again this morning, the site is notably behind-the-times. When I searched for passing stats in the Broncos' 17-16 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Friday night, I came up with numbers for starter Kyle Orton and Chris Simms, who looked okay in backup duty. But the page's right side featured a box labeled "Bronco

• The Karmic Guide to Fantasy Football 2009

  ​ It's Fantasy Football season, and if you don't know what we're talking about, then you simply aren't a geeky, no-life sad sack who never gets out of the house -- like several Westword staff members. Still, 22 million North Americans waste countless hours on it, and August, when fantasy lovers draft their teams, is prime geek-out season. A lot goes into picking the right players. Points, scoring, ease of schedule. Some people (losers) pick based on emotional allegiances, choosing a coupl

  ​Homer Duggins is the biggest sports fan in Denver and Westword's gambling, uh, "expert." Read his dispatches every Friday in the Latest Word sports section. What an incredible week it was for Denver sports! Good thing it's chilly now too, because it get really hot wearing my Sakic jersey on top of my Helton jersey on top of my Royal jersey. But it's worth it. Do you know why? Because I love the MILE HIGH!!! And did I mention that I'm only an Abe Lincoln from breaking even. This week is

• Could Stan Kroenke be getting into bed with Rush Limbaugh?

  With a name like Rush, expect a focus on the running game.​Talk-show blather king Rush Limbaugh didn't exactly make a splash as a Monday Night Football commentator (except with people who think Donovan McNabb gets overpraised because he's African-American). But he could get another shot at the NFL soon -- as the owner of the St. Louis Rams. And depending upon how the deal goes down, he could be partners with none other than Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche owner Stan Kroenke. Limbaug

  ​Homer Duggins is the biggest sports fan in Denver and Westword's gambling, uh, "expert." Read his dispatches every Friday in the Latest Word sports section. What's that noise? It's a little whisper I keep hearing, a whisper becoming louder and louder, blowing on the wind until it becomes a roar drowning out every other sound. The noise? I think you probably already guessed, didn't you? SUPER BOWL!!! That's right. You know you've thought about it, and if you haven't, well, then I've thou

• Recast: If Hans Zimmer had a clue, this is what The Rock's soundtrack would've sounded like

  ​Let's just go ahead and get this out of the way from the get-go: we love The Rock. We can't explain it but there it is. That said, we also hate Hans Zimmer with a passion usually reserved for evil dictators and ex-patriots. So what better example of Recast then to add a soundtrack to this beloved movie? This is Recast, in which we appoint ourselves soundtrack supervisors of existing films.
