During the Broncos 31-14 trouncing of the Seattle Seahawks yesterday, you could almost hear the entire city of Denver sighing with relief: Aaah, that’s more like it! And it was — particularly in comparison to last week’s dispiriting loss to Jacksonville. But there’s a very real possibility this will be…
Call us jaded. GOP gubernatorial hopeful Dan Maes has spun so many bizarre and jaw-dropping yarns, about everything from his generous mileage reimbursements to being fired as a Kansas cop because he dared to investigate his future in-laws’ gambling activities, that we’re no longer easily a-Maesed. Not even when a…
Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett once said he wanted to be the state’s most progressive DA when it comes to medical marijuana. In contrast, Attorney General John Suthers thinks MMJ dispensaries suck. It’s no surprise, then, that lawyers/medical marijuana advocates Rob Corry, Jeffrey Gard, Warren Edson, Leonard Frieling and Jon…
Last week, we told you about Tim Tebow launching a Facebook page and a Twitter feed — a move that prompted a parody by Maxim’s Tauntr site featuring such items as “Tim Tebow likes Crying,” to which Jesus Christ offered a thumbs-up. If only Tebow had come up with something…
Over here, you Denver blog post fans, you. Colorado Pols offers the surprising news that Dem Betsy Markey has won the NRA’s endorsement over the very conservative Cory Gardner. Them’s shootin’ words!

A YouTube video on view below shows a new Audi being controlled by a computer, not a driver, as it speeds across some open flats. Most commenters were wowed, but one wrote, “Alright, let’s test it on a place [with] a few more obstacles, shall we?” A film crew was…
Even the best-looking people look goofy with their asses in the air — goofy and vulnerable. Earlier this week, Aspen yoga teacher Steven Jon Roger, 49, was convicted of sliding his hands down the pants of two women in his class while they were held yoga poses, downward dog and…
In August, we told you about a move on the part of El Paso county commissioners to place a medical marijuana dispensary ban on the November ballot. The plan’s subsequent approval means voters will decide the fate of approximately seventy centers, grow operations and the like. But medical marijuana advocates…
Douglas Bruce, the California Democrat turned Colorado Republican, is the embodiment of the classic bad boy character of children’s literature. Of course, he isn’t trying to be bad, it’s just something that’s natural. Everyone and everything that comes into contact with him turns out bad, from mail-order brides to constitutional…
Here’s guessing that two lugs currently wanted by the Weld County Sheriff’s Office won’t be getting a membership invite from Mensa anytime soon. True, they were smart enough to get inside a Keenesburg bank. Problem was, they couldn’t figure out how to get any money out, leaving them to terrorize…
With resources and revenues for print and broadcast news operations continuing to shrink, investigative journalism — a vital form, but among the field’s most expensive — is becoming more rare with each passing day. But former Rocky Mountain News reporter Laura Frank thinks she’s found a way to help fill…
This week, news that a national survey by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) showed illegal drug use among Americans twelve and older is climbing, with much of the increase due to marijuana, made headlines nationwide. But Sensible Colorado’s Brian Vicente says there’s no cause for alarm…
If information provided to the Denver Police Department is accurate, Tracy Lee Ottaway qualifies as the customer from hell. Ottaway’s been charged with attempted first-degree murder over an incident at Cherry Creek JW Marriott in which he allegedly tried to use an SUV to run over a valet who two…
Sometimes, off-the-cuff comments are the most telling — and Carmelo Anthony made an intriguing one during an appearance this week on TBS’s Lopez Tonight. In addressing rumors that he’d rather play in Chicago, New Jersey or wherever in the clip on view below, he was politically correct at the outset…
Most CU fans suffered the Buffs 52-7 defeat to the University of California at Berkeley in agonized silence. But not Julien Lounis. As the Boulder Daily Camera reports, the CU student sent athletic department folks an invoice for the $401.40 he spent traveling to Cali for the game. Will he…
In our feature story about Louisville company NetDevil’s attempt to fuse the magic of World of Warcraft and LEGO into a massive multiplayer online game called LEGO Universe (slated to be released next month), we looked at how respecting “the sacred language of LEGO” added extra challenges for the developers…
Roughly 75 people attended the Department of Revenue’s Medical Marijuana Advisory committee meeting this morning. Despite fears from the Cannabis Therapy Institute that there wouldn’t be enough space in the board room, everyone who wanted a seat had one. But some people gave theirs up early…
We caught these three Denver blog posts. Purple Row’s Andrew Martin chronicles Troy Tulowitzki’s Wednesday heroics. Hope they’re contagious. The Colorado Independent’s Scot Kersgaard on Dan Maes’s latest campaign fines — which could turn into an even finer mess thanks to that Freda Poundstone check. Are CSAPS an autopsy? Colorado…
Maybe things are going to work out for Shannon Sharpe after all. Yesterday, we noted that Sharpe had taken a temporary leave from CBS after a restraining order was filed against the former Bronco, a longtime local favorite who’s been on the short list for NFL Hall of Fame induction…
This dispensary has closed. In “Mile Highs and Lows,” Westword offers a no-holds-barred look at what goes on behind the locked doors of marijuana dispensaries, whether they resemble swanky bars or a dope dealer’s college dorm room. See our updated dispensary list here, and keep reading for William Breathes’s review…
Yard Arteology: The study of neighbors through their lawn decoration… Street walking in Park Hill may grab all of the headlines, but alley walking is this neighborhood’s favorite activity. Even though the scrap-iron dog seen in the photo above is facing the street, the sculpture is best seen from a…
The crazy whirlwind that is Republican nominee Dan Maes’s guv run just keeps spinning faster. Below, spokesman Nate Strauch offers his take on four big stories: the hiring of new campaign manager George Culpepper, Maes’s explanation for why he was fired as a Kansas cop, a new poll showing Maes…
