In this day and age, institutions tend to take any threat of violence seriously, because the risk of shrugging off the information as inconsequential and being wrong is simply too high. That’s why Saint John’s Episcopal Church closed for days this week, following an alleged pledge by sixty-year-old Dominique Richard…

In 2011, shortly after Evrod Cassimy was hired as an anchor and reporter for CBS4, he made news of his own after complaints about a photo of him posing with singer/felon Chris Brown led to the pic’s removal from his station bio. Now, he’s got a new gig at WDIV…

The Denver Broncos aren’t only excelling on the field. They’re also making their mark in the cheerleader hotness competition.
