The eleven counties currently making noise about seceding from Colorado to form their own state may not want anything to do with Denver’s legal weed or gun control. But if you believe Facebook, there’s one export from the Mile-High City that they’re not ready to give up: the Denver Broncos…
The Broncos’ 45-21 win over Washington Sunday wasn’t the laugher the score implies. Denver trailed 21-7 in the third quarter before reeling off 38 points — an onslaught Broncos coach turned Washington head man Mike Shanahan apparently (read: definitely) tried to slow by having players fake injuries. Fans at the…
The Broncos’ 39-33 defeat to Indianapolis last night was undeniably gut-wrenching. But did it come from out of the blue? Not if you’ve been paying attention. Over the past few weeks, Denver’s been flirting with catastrophe on a regular basis, only to survive with their impressive regular-season winning streak intact…
Colts QB Andrew Luck faces a big challenge this weekend, when he faces off against the Broncos’ Peyton Manning in PM’s first game in Indianapolis since leaving for Denver. But Luck may have an even harder time when it comes to earning a place of honor when it comes to…
Over the past week, I’ve been telling every Broncos loyalist within the sound of my voice that Denver wouldn’t cover the 28-point spread over Jacksonville — reportedly the largest margin ever in the NFL. But I thought the reason would be boredom: Peyton Manning and company would jump out to…
Nathan Starks is one of the most highly recruited high school football players in the country — but he couldn’t get on the field for Cherry Creek High School, coached by ex-NFL pro and voice of the Broncos Dave Logan, because he’d been ruled ineligible by the Colorado High School…
This season, there’s been nary a discouraging word said about Broncos QB Peyton Manning, who’s on one of the most spectacular runs in NFL history. But the medical journal Pediatrics is an exception to this rule. A new study just shared in the publication evaluates athlete endorsements in food marketing…
If the folks at Comcast wanted to maximize hatred and inspire customers to explore satellite delivery, they couldn’t have chosen a better time for a cable outage than at halftime of as crazy a Broncos game as any in recent memory — a 51-48 victory over the Dallas Cowboys not…
As the Denver Broncos get ready to face the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday, there’s no mistaking the fact that the team |(and QB Peyton Manning in particular) are off to one of the hottest starts in NFL history. They’ve scored 179 points over four wins (or 44.8 points per game),…
One of the most prominent clips of Boulder-based cyclocross racer Amy Dombroski declares that she had become a rock star — and that’s precisely how she was viewed locally and internationally. Her effervescent personality was matched by grit exemplified by the number of pics in which her face is spattered…
Last year, we created a list of the top ten most unusual Denver Broncos tattoos — and “unusual” was the nicest thing that could be said about some of them. Although, to be honest, we loved the Broncos Elvis. Now, with the Broncos 4-0 and looking pretty damn invincible, we…
Last week, our post previewing Eric & Jessie: Game On, the new E Network reality series featuring Broncos receiver Eric Decker and singer Jessie James was subtitled “Don’t hate them because they’re beautiful.” But that may be tough for some of those who caught last night’s debut. The show was…
The Broncos’ 52-20 destruction of the Philadelphia Eagles at Mile High Stadium yesterday was an appropriate prelude to last night’s final episode of Breaking Bad. Like Walter White, played so memorably by Bryan Cranston, Peyton Manning and his Denver teammates showed vulnerability at times. But in the end, they dispatched…
It’s going to be a busy Sunday for Broncos receiver Eric Decker. First, he and his team will take on the Philadelphia Eagles at Mile High Stadium — and then, at 8 p.m. our time, his new reality series, Eric and Jessie: Game On, is slated to bow on the…
The rivalry between your Denver Broncos and the Oakland Raiders runs so deep that our recent collection of Raiders suck memes only hints at the passions on both sides. But it’s tough to sustain the usual level of antipathy this year — because even though the Raiders are improving, the…
We’ve assembled two previous collections of Raiders suck memes, most recently in May, when Charles Woodson chose to sign with Oakland rather than Denver. But in just a few months, Memes Nation have come up with a whole batch of new ways to say that the Raiders suck — and…
This past May, as ex-Denver Nugget Chris “Birdman” Andersen was taking part in the NBA playoffs with his current team, the Miami Heat, a Douglas County Sheriff’s rep told us an Internet Crimes Against Children investigation into his actions was still ongoing after more than a year; see our previous…
About this time last year, we shared not one but two photo galleries featuring shots from the 2013 Broncos cheerleaders calendar shoot in Cancun. Now, the cheerleaders are inviting two people to join them at their next calendar-photo session, at an as-yet undetermined but sure-to-be exotic location — and it’s…
There are plenty of reasons to read Slow Getting Up: A Story of NFL Survival from the Bottom of the Pile, Nate Jackson’s breezy account of his struggles as a mostly backup player for six seasons. It’s grimly funny, surprisingly well-written, bristling with backstage stuff without seeming gossipy, rueful without…
As if last week’s NFL opener win over the Super Bowl champ Ravens wasn’t hype-filled enough, the latest Broncos game pitted ol’ Peyton against little bro Eli in the third, and possibly last, edition of what’s universally known as the Manning Bowl. Peyton had been 2-0 in previous matchups against…
As one of the break-out stars in the Broncos victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, tight end Julius Thomas, who caught two of QB Peyton Manning’s amazing seven touchdown passes, is getting more attention than ever. Hence his appearance on tonight’s edition of CBS4’s Xfinity Monday Live alongside host…
Particularly during dark times (like the Josh McDaniels era), Broncos fans have been accused of living in the past. But that’s nothing compared to the guy who wrote the headline for a story about last night’s Broncos’ win over the Ravens for the Columbus Dispatch. Rather than applauding Peyton Manning…
