Call me Nostradamus. Earlier today, I predicted that Brandon Marshall would skate in his misdemeanor battery trial in Atlanta — and sure enough, he was just found not guilty. Moreover, the jury didn’t exactly go into overtime. Members only deliberated for about an hour. No doubt Broncos fans will now…
Yesterday, I expressed regret for the January blog headline “Good News, Woody Paige: Les Paul Isn’t Dead Yet” in light of the fact that Paul, a pioneering guitarist and inventor, had just passed away at age 94. Then, this morning, I received a note from Paige himself, stressing his Les…
I visited the Denver Broncos’ official website this morning and discovered a “team photo” button on the “team” page. When I clicked it, however, I was surprised to see an image of the 2007 squad, complete with Mike Shanahan doing his weird little squint in row six and Jay Cutler…
A misdemeanor battery charge against Brandon Marshall is being heard at what was advertised as a one-day trial in Atlanta — but that prediction proved inaccurate. The proceeding moves into a second day today, with the judge dismissing the jury yesterday while Rasheedah Watley, Marshall’s ex-girlfriend and alleged punching bag,…
The general consensus among Denver Broncos fans with whom I’ve spoken is that the team is going to suck like the world’s largest Hoover in 2009. But plenty of Vegas types are considerably more optimistic. Right now, the line calls for the Broncos to chalk up seven wins in this…
Although Brandon Marshall reported to Denver Broncos training camp in July, he’s been practically invisible since tweaking his hamstring a few days later — an injury that’s reportedly not serious, prompting speculation that he’s milking it to amplify his displeasure at not being traded. This week, however, he had a…
On Monday night, Troy Tulowitzki hit for the cycle against the Chicago Cubs, becoming just the second player in Major League Baseball history (after the Red Sox’s John Valentin) to complete this feat and make an unassisted triple play, as Tulo did in 2007. But it didn’t take long for…
A baseball card collection that features Colorado’s boys of summer (dresses) in the fashions of Denver designers. Rookie reliever Matt Daley pitches the perfect scoreless inning in a one-strap cocktail dress by Nancy Sedar Sherman……
The Denver Nuggets’ loss yesterday of backup forward Linas Kleiza, who signed a two-year, $12.2 million deal with the Greek team Olympiakos, has prompted a collective shrug by most members of Nuggets Nation, probably owing to Kleiza’s underperformance last season, when many observers expected him to have a break-out year…
Last night, Troy Tulowitzki had one of the best nights ever by a member of the Colorado Rockies, driving in seven runs and hitting for the cycle (thanks to a wild sprint that stretched a double into triple) in an 11-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Along the way, Tulo…
It must’ve seemed like such a good idea at the time. Let senior University of Colorado cornerback Ben Burney blog about the Buffaloes’ 2009 season on the CU’s athletic department’s website. It would show fans what it’s really like to be one of those heroes in black and gold, the…
The deal that finally got Knowshon Moreno, the Broncos’ first draft pick, into camp includes almost a nearly $13 million guarantee — a big chunk of change, particularly considering how prone running backs are to getting hurt. Fortunately, Moreno has what WalterFootball.com’s pre-draft report described as a “minimal injury history…
As training camp gets into full swing and the football season looms ever closer, our beloved Denver Broncos are stuck in what’s known as a “rebuilding” year. As a team in flux, the orange and blue face many questions. Can Josh McDaniels succeed as a head coach? Will Kyle Orton…
When Jay Cutler left Denver in favor of Chicago, following one of the greatest hissy-fits in local sports history, he left behind plenty of fans who lamented his departure. His behavior since then has caused that number to diminish considerably, however, and his most recent comments about the Mile High…
Great idea for the Broncos to stage a free practice session at Invesco Field last night. Problem is, the event gave many more folks than those who visit training camp at Dove Valley — more than 13,000, reportedly — an opportunity to see just how unimpressive quarterback Kyle Orton looks…
Oh, you crazy Internet, you! What won’t you share with us? This question crops up in relation to the “Girlfriend Forum” on Talk-Sports.net, a series of pages devoted to the ladies who love professional athletes, regardless of marital status. The most visited cyber-nook at the portion of the site devoted…
A baseball card collection that features Colorado’s boys of summer (dresses) in the fashions of Denver designers. Left Fielder Carlos Gonzalez can better chase his (field of) dreams in a bright, bold-print halter dress made from vintage fabrics by Taryn Slawson……
As June ended, Nuggets prodigy J.R. Smith was sentenced to thirty days in a New Jersey jail and 500 hours of community service in regard to a 2007 crash that killed his friend, Andre Bell. But shortly after doing his time, he headed to Las Vegas — not exactly a…
The behavior of Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall, whose “hamstring injury” over the weekend followed obvious signals that he’d rather undergo several weeks of continuous dental work that participate in the team’s training camp, clearly isn’t to the liking of YouTuber garyhoosier. He’s created a video set to the classic sounds…
In May, World Wrestling Entertainment showman Vince McMahon got publicity aplenty when a WWE Raw event was bumped from the Pepsi Center by a playoff game between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers. McMahon’s PR blitz included a mock showdown between him and Nuggets/Pepsi Center owner Stan Kroenke…
Although Broncos wideout (and past Shmuck of the Week) Brandon Marshall has made it mondo-clear that he wants to be traded, he’s attending training camp anyhow — presumably because he doesn’t want to fork over thousands of dollars in daily fines if he skipped out on the sessions. Yesterday, however,…
The Broncos start training camp today, and, sure, you could go watch. But unless you sneak into the locker room and hide behind Brandon Marshall’s ego, going to camp won’t give you even a hint of what life is really like for the Broncos. For that, you’ll have to hit…
