We’ve been lobbying for the Denver Nuggets to re-sign Chris Andersen for over a month, and the more time that passed, the more likely it was that other teams would start knocking on his door. Fortunately, though, the deed is finally done, with the Birdman agreeing to a five-year, $26…
Shortly after word broke yesterday about the impending retirement of the Colorado Avalanche’s Joe Sakic, Brian Engblom, a hockey vet, Versus TV commentator and onetime mullet king, appeared on Mile High Sports Radio/1510 AM to discuss Super Joe’s legacy. During the chat, hosts Joel Klatt and Nate Kreckman asked Engblom…

Sure, it’s great that both Brad Hawpe and Jason Marquis made the All-Star team as representatives of the Colorado Rockies. Moreover, an argument can be made that both Aaron Cook and Huston Street deserved to receive nods as well — a testament to the improvement the squad’s made since its…

I argued earlier this week that the Colorado Rockies had a chance to establish themselves as true contenders during this week’s three-game series against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. “If the Rocks get swept, they’ll know they still have some work to do before reaching an elite level. Ditto if…
We’re accustomed to seeing celebrities threatened with jail sentences walk out of court after receiving much more minor penalties. But not in the case of Nuggets guard J.R. Smith. Yesterday, we told you that Smith faced a possible forty days behind bars in relation to a 2007 crash that killed…
Just when you thought serial abuser Brandon Marshall couldn’t become any less sympathetic, voila! Along comes something else to make the Broncos receiver look like a churlish, entitled moron. Thanks for the latest evidence goes to Tony Kovaleski and Arthur Kane of Channel 7, who got their hands on a…
Spotted: The BroncosBus in a strange, off-season hideout on shady Fairfax Street near Eighth Avenue across from Christ the King Church. The glorious orange and blue BroncosBus (“the product of a few friends’ collective love for Denver Broncos football,” according to the website, www.BroncosBus.com) can be seen at every home…
A week ago today, we shared mixed messages about Brandon Marshall coming from Jay Cutler’s Twitter feed. Now, however, it appears that Cutler may not have been the person doing the tweeting. The account in question has now been suspended due to what’s described as “strange activity” — which probably…
Nuggets fans know J.R. Smith as the happy-go-lucky prodigy who’s sure his every shot will find nylon whether he’s in the paint, beyond the arc or in the arena parking lot. But today, he’s facing a prospect capable of wiping the smile off anyone’s face: a jail sentence. Smith is…
Fears that the Colorado Rockies might turn their win streak upside down after losing for the first time in twelve games to the Tampa Bay Rays on June 16 proved unfounded in a major (league) way. The next day, the team began a stretch of fourteen games in fifteen days,…
Our daily blog-o-rama. Missing something? Send tips. Grading the Nuggets draft. (Denver Stiffs) Colorado doctors have been arrested for participating in a truly weird and despicable fraud scheme.

There are days when sifting through the world’s deadbeats in search of a stand-out shmuck just doesn’t feel right. This, dear reader, is one of those days. So instead, I give you Gary. For anyone watching from their living-room windows, it must have been quite the sight: a lonely little…
Last night, the Nuggets scored big in the NBA draft, landing North Carolina guard Ty Lawson without giving away a key player. But now comes word, from Denver Post hockey expert Adrian Dater, that the Colorado Avalanche, which has the number three pick in tonight’s NHL draft, might shrug off…
Even hardcore Nuggets fans didn’t go into last night’s NBA draft expecting the team to do much. After all, the squad had the number 34 selection — the sort of position that would likely result in the drafting of a European player we’d never see in a baby-blue uni. And…
As disgruntled Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall tries to maneuver his way into a new contract in another NFL city, his surrogates are talking him up in high-profile media venues. Example: The Jacksonville Jaguars’ Mike Walker, who describes himself as Marshall’s best friend, spoke at length about his buddy to…
It was an exciting month for rugby here in Denver, as long as you weren’t rooting for the home team. Denver played host to North America’s marquee rugby event, the Churchill Cup, this year. The six competing teams — Ireland, England, Argentina, Canada, the US and Georgia — played two…
Numbers and stats are absolutely central to baseball, adding immeasurably to the fun of the game. That’s why DriveLine Mechanics’ ultra-wonky breakdown of Colorado Rockies pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez’s approach is fascinating rather than bizarre. Jimenez, the probable starter tonight against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim — who fell to…
Does Jay Cutler love Brandon Marshall in a manly yet platonic, slap-him-on-the-butt-after-he-scores-a-touchdown-but-don’t-let-the-hand-linger kind of way? That’s certainly the impression he gave yesterday during an appearance at William and Mary’s Colonial All-Pro Football Camp when the subject turned to whether Sweet Baby Jay would like BM to land in Chicago alongside…
There was a time when I wanted Roger Goodell to come down on Brandon Marshall. It was before the ESPN hit piece, but after Marshall’s most recent display of unhinged chauvinism, and around the time former Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was to be released from prison. While most Broncos fans…
Back on June 12, I wrote that I wouldn’t be able to look at the Colorado Rockies’ glass as half full until they reached the .500 mark. To the delight of Rockies’ fans everywhere, that happened yesterday, thanks to a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. This outcome was…
