• Is the Broncos' coaching job the best in football?

  On ESPN radio (1600 AM) this morning, host Colin Cowherd veered into an interesting discussion about the best coaching jobs in college and pro football. In judging great coaching gigs, he said he looks for a handful of traits: supportive but not unrealistic fans, supportive but not overbearing owners/administrators, some control over personnel, the money and cache to attract top prospects, and a city that doesn't make you want to hang yourself.I expected Cowherd for make his case for USC or the

• Our March Madness picks: A prelude to humiliation...

  A photo-illustration from the University of Pittsburgh website. Each year, I sit down with my daughter Lora -- a rabid sports fan with strong opinions about 9News' Susie Wargin -- to fill out NCAA tournament brackets for both the men's and women's basketball championships as part of a friendly contest organized by my wife's peers in the Archdiocese of Denver school system. We usually do pretty well, although our track record in the women's tourney is better than it is with the men's version. If

• Our March Madness predictions: The men's Sweet Sixteen is looking pretty sweet

  Toney Douglas, in a photo from Florida State's website. The headline on "Our March Madness picks: A prelude to humiliation...," a March 18 blog in which I shared the NCAA brackets filled out by my daughter Lora and me, may prove to be prescient very soon -- but at this point, we're still hanging in there. We correctly named fourteen of the Sweet Sixteen competitors in the men's tourney, and since we predicted that the two exceptions would fall in round three, the possibility of a perfect Elite

• Our March Madness predictions: The women's first round went well -- but what happened to Tennessee?

  Legendary Tennessee coach Pat Summitt. Although most fans who fill out brackets during NCAA basketball tournament season only focus on the men's teams, the contest through the Archdiocese of Denver that my daughter Lora and I have participated in during recent years gives the women equal billing. That's a good thing from the perspective of fairness -- and, as a bonus, Lora and I have generally had a better record guessing the outcome of the women's competition than the men's. And the same thing

• Our March Madness predictions: A sad start to the women's second round

  Italee Lucas' 21 points weren't enough for the Tar Heels. "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation...," published March 18, shared brackets assembled by me and my daughter, Lora, for both the men's and women's NCAA basketball tournaments -- and in an update posted yesterday, I noted that our women's picks had proven more accurate than the men's in the first round. Unfortunately, this hasn't proven to be a trend. Last night was catastrophic: We wound up just 4-4, incorrectly gues

• Our March Madness predictions: The catastrophe worsens in the women's second round

  Duke's Abby Waner, who's from Highlands Ranch, probably didn't enjoy the game against Michigan State. Oh. My. God. The headline on the first blog about the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournament picks made by my daughter Lora and me -- "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation..." -- could hardly have been more prescient. Our 5-3 record last night in the second half of round two for the women was a modest improvement over the previous day's pathetic 4-4 mark, but Michigan S

• Our March Madness predictions: The men's bracket comes unglued

  Tyreke Evans' 33 points wasn't enough for Memphis -- or my bracket. The men's NCAA basketball bracket assembled by my daughter Lora and me and shared in the blog "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation..." was looking pretty good through the first two rounds. It's not now. Two of the four sweet sixteen games that took place last night blew up in our faces, and the repercussions will be ugly. Duke, which we had losing in the Elite Eight, was never really in the game against Vill

• Our March Madness predictions: The men's bracket is busted

  Sam Young's 28 points weren't enough to secure a Pitt victory. The NCAA men's basketball bracket assembled by my daughter Lora and me and shared in the March 18 blog "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation...," was looking shaky prior to the beginning of weekend play. Now it's essentially a heap of rubble thanks to Villanova's soul-crushing, last-nanosecond victory over the University of Pittsburgh Panthers, our choice to win it all. This loss means that neither of the crews we

• Our March Madness predictions: Savaged by (Baylor) Bears

  Louisville's late burst plowed under Kelli Griffin's Baylor squad. The women's NCAA basketball bracket put together by my daughter Lora and me isn't quite as calamitous as our men's picks, but close. The big blow: Baylor, which we designated to reach the finals, went dry late in the second half of its contest with Louisville, eventually tumbling by a whopping seventeen points. Four of our Elite Eight are still standing upright, including Connecticut, which will only be knocked out if all of its

• Our March Madness predictions: 0-2 in the women's tourney last night

  Going slow and steady didn't help Marissa Coleman's Maryland Terps. The women's NCAA basketball tournament bracket my daughter Lora and I shared in "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation..." have taken a pounding, and last night's pair of Elite Eight games didn't help -- not that they could have. Stanford beat Iowa State, but we had the Cardinal losing to Duke, which fell long ago. And while we correctly guessed that Maryland wouldn't make it past this point, we thought they'd

• Our March Madness predictions: Have the Connecticut women even broken a sweat yet?

  Connecticut's Maya Moore. The updates that have followed in the wake of the March 18 blog "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation...," which shared choices in the men's and women's NCAA basketball tournament made by my daughter Lora and me, have been grim at times. Last night, though, the news was better when it came to the pair of women's Elite Eight contests, if resolutely unsurprising. Connecticut took it easy on Arizona State, only winning by nineteen points, while Oklahoma

• Our March Madness predictions: The end is near

  Tyler Hansbrough. The March 18 blog "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation..." shared NCAA men's and women's basketball picks made by my daughter Lora and me, which fell short of flawless. True, we had Connecticut making it to the women's finals on Tuesday, but not Louisville, which surprised Oklahoma over the weekend. And we didn't choose either North Carolina or Michigan State as competitors in the men's championship game tonight -- although the reasons are a bit complicated

It's also 4/20, a national celebration of cannabis culture -- something long supported by Mason Tvert, executive director of SAFER (Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation), who led the successful 2005 campaign to legalize possession of up to one ounce of marijuana for 21-and-up Denverites. However, events sponsored by SAFER on the
