Denver Broncos 2014 Super Bowl favorites: Wanna bet?

Watching Ray Lewis acting like the king of the world after playing a thoroughly ordinary game, and seeing Joe Fluke-o named MVP after the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl victory yesterday was enough to make me nearly throw up my seven-layer dip.

Tim Tebow proves he's the best awful QB in NFL history thanks to win over Jets (VIDEOS)

Post-TD Tebowing.​It's gotten to the point where it's funny, at least for Broncos fans.

After all, ... More >>

Tim Tebow lovers or haters: Who are the bigger shmucks?

Tim Tebow.​It seems like everyone has something to say about Tim Tebow (including us), whether it comes to his work ethic, his pious nature, his throwing motion, his jersey sales, his clean-livin' persona, his underwear or his potential as an actor. And sometimes, frankly, it's hard to know wh ... More >>

Ten awful tailgating foods you would only eat while drinking heavily

Denver's Geeks Who Drink team got pummeled in Philadelphia's Quizzo Bowl VII

Fuck you, Michael Nutter.​It's well known that Philadelphia is a cultural armpit that has never produced anything of value except for Gilbert Lewis, but the town's community of second-rate trivia geeks is apparently up to speed on random facts as posed by a cross-section of obscure Philadelphi ...

Josh McDaniels likely to be left in London, 'cause Broncos coach is toast, says ESPN's PTI

Michael Wilbon.​Our top ten list of the ways Josh McDaniels has destroyed the Broncos wasn't meant to be funny.

Top 10 ways Josh McDaniels has destroyed the Denver Broncos

Josh McDaniels.​Is it fair to blame Coach Josh McDaniels for the Broncos' humiliating 59-14 loss to the Oakland Raiders yesterday? In a word: yes.

"As long as it's not the Raiders..."​Yesterday, ESPN spent much of its NFL Live broadcast touting Herm Edwards' idea for the San Francisco 49ers to go after both Donovan McNabb, to whom the Eagles (inexplicably) seem ready to say goodbye, and the Broncos' Brandon Marshall. Former Bronco Mark ... More >>

Broncos' schedule: Is a 6-10 prediction too optimistic?

At what point will the Broncos wipe this smile off Josh McDaniels' face?

A most sadistic take on five Jay Cutler trade destinations

Jay Cutler: Buffalo Bill? So Jay Cutler's (probably) getting traded. Fine by me. He's a talented guy, sure, and he's got an arm like a diesel-powered T-shirt gun. But I like my quarterbacks savvy and cerebral and not so damn pouty when things go awry. And while Josh McDaniels has proven to be just ... More >>
