LeBron James and his band of merry sidekicks come to Denver next Friday for a nationally televised showdown with the Nuggets. The way the Cavs are playing — with a swagger and confidence unseen in Cleveland since the invention of the elastic wasteband — it’s hard to see the Nuggets…

When Peyton Hillis became the 47th Bronco running back to go down with an injury this year, he opened the door for rookie Cory Boyd to be the next back to rush his way onto your fantasy playoff roster. Sure, the Broncos will trot out Tatum Bell as the starter,…

Even though they sometimes make me want to drown myself in a souvenir soda, I enjoy going to Broncos games when I get my hands on tickets. What I hate is getting to Invesco. Don’t get me wrong: As stadium clusterfucks go, Denver’s isn’t half bad. But still, most of…
Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see any comments from Ronald or Loretta Murray in the one-year anniversary stories about the church shootings in Arvada and Colorado Springs. But then, the Murrays haven’t been eager to talk publicly about the multiple tragedies spawned by their deeply disturbed son Matthew,…

The nature of print media is strange these days. Pages shrivel and shrink, then disappear altogether, while paid positions dry up like teens on Proactiv, resulting in a frenzied scramble toward writers and editors doing more with less, pissed off at their frozen salaries yet unable to bitch about it for…
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…

Federal prosecutors have indicted an Ohio man who they say threatened to bomb the Denver International Airport and then shoot himself in the bathroom this October.

No contemporary sportswriter is more decorated (or better paid) than Denver’s Rick Reilly, and so no sportswriter is more regularly critiqued. Since leaping wallet first from the sinking Sports Illustrated to ESPN last year — a move he outlined in the January Message column “Rick Reilly, Loving Limbo” — he’s…

Sometimes I joke about adopting a teenager. I imagine myself showing up at the adoption agency with a stop-watch around my neck and a tape measure on my belt, dragging prospective dependents onto the lawn to time them in the 40 and measure their wingspan. I’d never do it, of…
Click here to see a larger image; it’ll take a few seconds. The last election put many Republicans out of work. As difficult as it is to feel sorry for Bob Schaffer, Tom Tancredo, Wayne Allard and Marilyn Musgrave, it’s even more difficult to imagine them dusting off their resumes…
