In an August 24 blog, I noted that commentators had been hyping the Colorado Rockies’ homestand against the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers as the most important in team history. I questioned that hyperbole at the time, and given that this particular stretch sputtered out with two…

Chicago remains giddy at the thought that former Broncos QB Jay Cutler will return the Bears to the promised land. But fans might not be too thrilled to hang out with the petulant passer, as indicated by excerpts from a Cutler profile set to run in ESPN The Magazine’s September…

It’s happening again. Just as in 2007, when the Colorado Rockies’ World Series run coaxed people who would usually rather shave their body with a rotary lawnmower than watch a baseball game to plant themselves in front of their set, viewers are clicking on FSN Rocky Mountain’s coverage of the…
Back in March, at the height of Jay Cutler’s bitchfest, I laid out the five teams to which I hoped Culter would get traded — places I was sure he would hate, and places where I hoped he would fail. I’m a sadistic, juvenile little man like that. The fallout,…
Winning NFL coach Tony Dungy thinks the stars of tomorrow deserve to get off to a positive start, and that’s why, for the first time ever, he’s hosting Tony Dungy’s RED ZONE ’09, a special Fathom Events screening tonight at more than 450 theaters nationwide, including eleven here along the…

Yesterday’s blog headlined “Colorado Rockies Scoring With Big Balls and Small” prompted a note from Alek Komarnitsky, an amateur photographer whose website, Komar.org, features great family shots and plenty more. (Earlier this year, his photos of dogs chasing off a curious coyote formed the basis of a highly entertaining slideshow.)…
This morning on ESPN Radio, Jason Smith noted that only one walk-off grand slam in Major League Baseball history had taken place in a later inning than Ryan Spilborghs’ 14th inning shocker that lifted the Colorado Rockies to an unlikely win over the San Francisco Giants last night: Boston Red…

Local sports yakkers have been hyping the Colorado Rockies’ current homestand as the most important in the history of the franchise, which strikes me as an example of enthusiasm trumping short-term memory. Seems to me there were some pretty key series at Coors Field during the run-up to the Rockies’…
Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton received mostly positive reviews for his performance in Saturday’s preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks — so much so that most of the local media, in particular, seemed to ignore the fact that the Denver crew lost 27-13. But while Orton’s stats were certainly an improvement…
Norm Jones, who’s handled radio play-by-play chores for the Colorado Avalanche in recent years, has been bumped from this role in an apparent cost-cutting move. He’ll remain with the organization, but Marc Moser, who’s contributed color commentary, will now man the booth solo at home and away. Jones has done…
The latest chapter in the Brandon Marshall Immaturity Follies? Broncos coach Josh McDaniels, who’d earlier relegated the pouty wide receiver to the second team, is now saying he isn’t sure if BM will even play during Saturday’s preseason contest with the Seattle Seahawks. Is this an example of childishness meeting…
Sports Illustrated’s Don Banks has assembled an unusual list, albeit one that makes sense following the Philadelphia Eagles’ recent Michael Vick signing. (Who let the dogs in?) Instead of ranking starting quarterbacks, Banks rates the second stringers. And in his view, the Broncos Chris Simms is a top-ten finisher –…
When the Broncos didn’t immediately offer Brandon Marshall a mammoth new contract the second he was acquitted of battery at a trial in Atlanta, his agent reiterated his demand for a trade, increasing the odds that he would suddenly wind up injured again — something that might keep him out…
It’s Fantasy Football season, and if you don’t know what we’re talking about, then you simply aren’t a geeky, no-life sad sack who never gets out of the house — like several Westword staff members. Still, 22 million North Americans waste countless hours on it, and August, when fantasy lovers…
A baseball card collection that features Colorado’s boys of summer (dresses) in the fashions of Denver designers. An underrated backup catcher like Yorvit Torrealba rocks the bold-striped finish of this strapless cocktail dress by Jose Clark……
It didn’t take long. First, Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall was acquitted of wrongdoing in a battery trial in Atlanta. Then, on Sunday, he returned to the practice field when a supposedly minor injury that had somehow managed to keep him out of action since late July miraculously improved. And yesterday,…
Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall narrowly avoided the prospect of having his jerseys referred to as wifebeaters, or something close to that, due to his acquittal on battery charges in Atlanta on Friday. Afterward, the injury that had kept him out of practice since late July suddenly was better enough for…
On Friday, I pointed out that the team photo on the Denver Broncos’ website was taken in 2007 — and once again this morning, the site is notably behind-the-times. When I searched for passing stats in the Broncos’ 17-16 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Friday night, I came…
