The Broncos could just as easily be 0-6 as 6-0. In fact, the former seems more likely than the latter given how miserable Denver’s offense has looked in the 2015-2016 season to date. Yet the Broncos’ defense is so off-the-charts incredible that on Sunday, Denver managed to eke out a…
On Sunday, October 18, the Denver Broncos and the Cleveland Browns will renew their rivalry. If you can call it that. As shown in win-loss stats courtesy of FootballDB.com on view below, the Browns beat the Broncos three of the first four times they played. Since 1975, however, the Broncos have…
The shape-shifting swarm of women moves at high speed across the field at Lakewood’s Washington Heights Park, cutting and dodging and lunging and gouging as they fight for control of an oblong ball. The women are split into two groups by their red and yellow scrimmage jerseys, each tasked with…
Another week, another group of fans who can’t believe they managed to lose to the Denver Broncos. This time around, it’s boosters of the Oakland Raiders, who hosted Denver at The Black Hole yesterday afternoon. As noted in our recent collection of Raiders suck memes, plenty of Raiders loyalists thought…
As longtime Bronco fans, we enjoy hating the Oakland Raiders. But it hasn’t been as much fun in recent years, owing to how horrible the Raiders have been. This year, however, the Raiders, under former Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio, appear to be improved. Their record is 2-2 and…
Among the highlights of yesterday’s Broncos win over the Minnesota Vikings was Von Miller’s latest sack dance, in which he seemed ready to repeat a Key& Peele inspired feat that resulted in a fine by the NFL — only to psyche out the bean counters, who would no doubt have lightened…
If the average person had looked at Twitter during or after the Broncos’ game against the Minnesota Vikings yesterday, he might have assumed the team was 0-4 instead of 4-0 — because the attacks on Peyton Manning were coming fast and furious. Granted, the 23-20 Denver win wasn’t pretty. Manning…
The Broncos’ victory over the Detroit Lions during last night’s Sunday Night Football broadcast wasn’t as flat-out bizarre as the previous week’s win over the Kansas City Chiefs. But the win was just as dispiriting for Detroit Lions fans, in part because they thought their team had such a good chance…
“I did not become an athlete for reasons like this.” This statement was shared yesterday on Facebook by Justin Reiter, a snowboarder from Steamboat Springs, after a court appearance in Switzerland related to a lawsuit he filed against the International Olympic Committee. The reason for the complaint: the IOC’s decision…
Broncos fans who bailed out on last night’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs in the middle of the second quarter no doubt woke up shocked this morning. Early on, Denver’s offense looked horrific once again, with the line allowing one pass rusher after another to abuse Peyton Manning. He…
A lot of us like to think of Denver as the best sports city in America — especially on a day like today. After all, the excitement is as high for tonight’s nationally broadcast Broncos-Chiefs game as if it was taking place in Colorado instead of Kansas City. But while…
We Broncos fans have mighty high expectations. And sometimes, a win isn’t enough to put smiles on our faces. Yesterday’s 2015 NFL season kickoff against the Baltimore Ravens is a case in point. The Ravens are an excellent team considered a Super Bowl contender in many quarters, and Denver squelched…
On Sunday, September 13, your Denver Broncos officially start the 2015-2016 season against the Baltimore Ravens. And when you watch the game, there’s a good chance you’ll see some new faces. Seven rookies made the main 53-man roster, as opposed to the practice squad. Six of them, including linebacker and…
Longmont resident Justin Wilson is a big-time IndyCar series driver — a member of the Andretti Autosport team who’s been making his mark on open-car racing for well over a decade. And right now, he’s fighting for his life. Wilson, a native of Sheffield, England, was critically injured during a competition at…
Earlier this month, we told you about a freak accident that killed cyclist Will Olson, a competitor in the Big Mountain Enduro race in Crested Butte. The last day of the BME was canceled after Olson’s death, with other participants joining together in a memorial ride. Now, just weeks later, comes…
Today, training camp for the Denver Broncos is closed to the public because of flooding caused by yesterday’s downpour in the lot where fans park. But at least the drenching produced plenty of laughs, thanks to the social media squad for the Broncos and the Colorado Avalanche. Given that it’s…
Ironman Boulder is a triathlon that’s gained a national reputation thanks to its gorgeous setting and its high caliber of athletes, many of whom travel from across the country to take part. This year, however, one of the visiting competitors — forty-year-old Virginia resident Brian Godlove — died days after taking…
The Denver Broncos are currently taking part in training camp in anticipation of the 2015-2016 season. But in addition to looking forward, the team is looking back. The Broncos’ 2015 media guide is filled with loads of odd factoids about the squad’s history, many so obscure that even die-hard fans…
To those Colorado Rockies followers who feel that fan pressure is the only way to force this terrible team to improve, I offer my apologies. Why? Because instead of boycotting the Rocks, I went to their game against the Seattle Mariners last night. And even though the squad got crushed…
When prominent people find themselves embroiled in public controversy, they’re frequently advised to keep their comments to a minimum. But Boulder cyclist Tom Danielson and former Lance Armstrong teammate took the opposite tack after being suspended from the Boulder-based Cannondale Garmin squad in the wake of a positive test for…
The Niyakko Rush, a youth soccer club comprised primarily of refugees living in a single apartment house in Aurora, scored free tickets to the Major League Soccer All-Star Game at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Wednesday night. And that wasn’t even the best part of the week. The true awesomeness…
Back in May, we shared a list of the 37 reasons why the time was right for the Rockies to trade Troy Tulowitzki. The number corresponded to the times Tulowitzki had been injured during his pro-baseball career — 36 — plus the additional factor that he was actually healthy at…
