ESPN is reporting that longtime Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, whom the Denver Broncos have been rumored to covet for months, has decided to retire from football after thirteen years in the NFL in order to pursue a broadcasting career.
Today, basketball fans across the country are gearing up for the start of the annual NCAA basketball tournament popularly known as March Madness. But according to a new survey, Mile High hoops fans are at an enormous disadvantage when it comes to experiencing and enjoying this annual sports ritual. According to the WalletHub report, Denver is the fourth worst large city for March Madness and ranks at 276 out of 291 total communities analyzed, barely ahead of Kennesaw, Georgia, Poughkeepsie, New York and Colorado Springs, which finished at 280.
Beneath the gorgeous and glamorous public image of Gabriella and Emmanuel Sanders roiled a marriage in deep trouble. This past October, Gabriella filed for divorce, and now, in court documents obtained by TMZ, she accuses Emmanuel of cheating on her multiple times, spending big on his conquests and lying to the Broncos about attending the birth of his child so that he could party instead of practice.
Sure, Tom Brady just won his fifth Super Bowl with the New England Patriots. But even though he’s now retired and can claim a mere two NFL titles, former Denver Broncos superstar Peyton Manning is still winning 2017 thanks to his starring role in a slew of hilarious commercials, including one delivered during last night’s edition of the hit ABC sitcom Modern Family for gazebos and sheds.
Yesterday, we shared disturbing new details about past sexual assault accusations made against new Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph, including an assertion by a woman who told police in 2004 that Joseph, then an assistant coach at the University of Colorado Boulder, had disrobed, climbed into her bed uninvited and pressed his erect penis against her. Our piece noted that Joseph had not yet publicly addressed the allegations, adding, “It will be interesting to see how much longer he’ll be able to remain silent.” Turns out Joseph’s silence on the topic lasted less than 24 hours longer. But rather than holding a press conference or speaking on video, Joseph chose an interview with the Denver Post’s Nicki Jhabvala. The result was a clever bit of spin control, albeit one that hardly lays the story to rest permanently.
In our coverage earlier this week of revelations about past sexual assault allegations against new Broncos coach Vance Joseph, which were originally made public as part of the investigation into the CU recruiting scandal, we noted that the team would apparently try to “ride out” the negative publicity that might result from the incident, which dated back to the period when Joseph served as an assistant coach for the Buffs.
The #KeepWade hashtag had little effect on the status on the Denver Broncos staff of defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, one of the main architects of the team’s victory in Super Bowl 50. Mere hours after former Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph was introduced at a press conference yesterday, reports confirmed suspicions that Phillips had been named DC of the Los Angeles Rams — a woeful franchise, but one with a defense capable of much better things. Whether the same will prove true of Denver’s D will be among the more intriguing story lines of the upcoming season.
Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is scheduled to interview today for the position of Denver Broncos head coach, but plenty of fans on Twitter hope he doesn’t get the job. Race has nothing to do with most of the objections, nor should it. Clearly, there aren’t nearly enough African-American…
Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall has gone from publicly protesting alleged police brutality against African Americans to pointing a pistol at a simulated black gunman in a video shared by the Denver Police Department.
Be prepared. Take avalanche warnings seriously. Wear a helmet.
Sadly, Gary Kubiak has had his fill of the migraine-inducing job of coaching the Denver Broncos, and that means the team is beating the bushes for its fifth head coach in the past seven years.
With tourists heading for the hills, there are plenty of things that tick off the good people of Aspen. Vail’s been inundated, too, and in addition to hordes of skiers, this weekend the town will attract many New Year’s Eve revelers. Built strategically along I-70 (it’s no mistake that the only main roads going into and out of Vail are I-70 exits) in the not-so-distant past, Vail is like a Disney model of a ski town — only you can actually go there and ski. Still, despite the practiced and mandatory smiles of the employees who work the resort town (and probably have to live in other parts of Eagle County), there are somethings that ruffle the feathers of Vail residents. Let’s start with these eight.

Former Denver quarterback Brock Osweiler was benched in the second quarter of the Houston Texans’ win over the Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday, offering Broncos fans a ray of sunshine on an otherwise dark day. Shortly after Texans backup Tom Savage led his squad to a comeback victory over the Jags, the…
For years now, we’ve previewed games between your Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots in the traditional manner — with memes created by people who truly loathe Tom Brady, the Pats’ ultra-talented but exceedingly irritating quarterback. And since the Broncos and the Pats are scheduled to face off on…
Denver Broncos lovers like to think of themselves as the best and biggest fans anywhere — but the folks at Fansided don’t agree. A Time Inc. website, Fansided has published the Fandom 250, an unusual project that essentially rates apples against oranges. Rather than using specific categories (fans’ favorite sports…
In some ways, the Denver Broncos were lucky yesterday, despite the unlucky final results of their game against the Tennessee Titans. The Broncos lost the contest 13-10 — a defeat that exposed the offense, even under returning starter Trevor Siemian, as being incapable of making big plays when they count…
The “no hassles, no hype” ski area near Glenwood Springs is marking its fiftieth-anniversary season, and nods to its history — including photos and artifacts dating back to 1966 — will adorn the lodge.
Earlier this week, we wrote about the tragic death of Rashaan Salaam, the first Heisman Trophy winner ever for the University of Colorado Buffaloes. Salaam was found dead in a Boulder park on Monday night of a suspected suicide; his funeral service is scheduled for today. Now, ex-Buffs quarterback (and…
The surging popularity of alpine ski touring and splitboarding prompted Monarch to add three designated uphill travel routes this season.
The initial report about a death in Boulder’s Eben G. Fine Park was sad but unremarkable. Boulder police announced that the body of a middle-aged man had been found just shy of 9 p.m. on Monday, December 5, but there were no signs of either foul play or an overt threat…
