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…
As a lifelong Broncos fan, I am typically paranoid as hell about the team — fearful that the brighter the spotlight, the more likely the squad is to screw up in it for all the world to see. And there were certainly some ugly moments during last night’s kickoff to…
We love the Broncos; we bleed orange; we have season tickets. But we just can’t quite muster enough righteous indignation to be angry about the Joe Flacco signs that went up around Denver last week, infuriating so many. Sportscaster Vic Lombardi pretended to be so upset about it that he…
While collecting the images we shared in our Tim Tebow cut memes post earlier today, we stumbled upon this graphic depiction of Mile High Stadium, complete with something new at midfield. Does it reveal the real secret to the Broncos’ success at home? Well, it didn’t do Von Miller any…
The Peyton Fuckin’ Manning T-shirts we highlighted earlier today may have turned heads before and after last night’s Broncos-Cardinals game, but as far as we know, none of them was featured on the TV broadcast. In contrast, the shirt above got unplanned screen time a couple years back during the…
Everyone knew last night’s Broncos preseason closeout against the Arizona Cardinals was meaningless. But when someone gives you free tickets at the last minute, does any of that matter? Hell, no. Even though the game ended with a 32-24 Cards win (and, reportedly, a serious injury when a man fell…
UPDATE: We have a winner! The tickets go to Jenn, who won with the following response:I’ve always wanted to go to this game. I just don’t know who to root for. 🙁 Poor me… I did my undergrad at CU and grad school at CSU. But I’m thinking the Rams…
Saturday night brought Broncos football back to Mile High Stadium, with the men in orange chalking up a victory over the St. Louis Rams! (Yeah, we know the game didn’t count, but don’t begrudge us that exclamation point…or this one!) Photographer Brandon Marshall, he of the Broncos-friendly name, was on…
The Colorado Rockies may have lost to the San Diego Padres 7-5 last night. But one fan who attended the game definitely left feeling like a winner, even if he got a little wet in the process. The Rockies’ Dexter Fowler hit a foul ball, and the damn thing landed…
The Broncos won their preseason opener against the mighty San Francisco 49ers last night, 10-6. The game doesn’t count — but even so, the “W” should only heighten the enthusiasm of Broncos fans hoping for a Super Bowl season. The excitement is certainly clear over at Etsy, one of our…
Tonight, the Denver Broncos take on the San Francisco 49ers in the first game of the season. Okay, it’s a pre-season game, so it doesn’t really count. But given another disappointing Colorado Rockies season, not to mention the way the last Broncos campaign, we’re still grateful — and so are…
Just about a year ago, Colorado’s own Missy Franklin was capturing the sporting world’s imagination (and Justin Bieber’s attention) via an astonishing performance at the 2012 Olympics. And she hasn’t exactly lost her touch since then. Far from it: In London, Franklin brought home four golds and one bronze medal…
The USA Pro Challenge is returning to Colorado, with bicycles, and the athletes on them, ruling a significant portion of the state’s roadways from August 19-25. What will that mean for motorists who may be more interested in getting from point A to point B than in watching the contest?…
A search for a man feared drowned in Bartlett Lake, not far from Phoenix, was covered by local news stations, but didn’t immediately hit the national radar. At least not until his identity was revealed. The victim was Frank Castillo, a Major League Baseball pitcher for a number of teams,…
Beware what you blast on Twitter: It could come back to haunt you. Case in point: Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers casually bet Denver nurse Todd Sutton a year’s salary that his pal, Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun, never used performance-enhancing drugs — which Braun has just admitted to…
Peyton Manning and Missy Franklin are hoping to make a big hit and a big splash tonight on the annual ESPY Awards, hosted by ESPN. Both Colorado athletes are up for two different awards, and ESPN is letting fans vote on who should win until 7 p.m. (MST) tonight –…
Denver Broncos training camp — which is still free, and one of the best things that the team does for its fans — gets under way at Dove Valley on Thursday, July 25, with the first of sixteen practices that will be open to the public. And the players and…
Rocky, the Denver Nuggets mountain lion mascot, has put together quite a career over the 22 years that he has been thrilling basketball fans — sometimes providing their only thrill during the particularly lean years. Over that time, the supremely athletic gymnast has perfected his routine — from flirting with…
Kenneth Faried, the 2013 Best of Denver winner as Best Nugget, is getting even more exposure from another publication — ESPN The Magazine, which chose him as one of eight cover models for its annual “Body Issue,” in which ripped athletes pose nude in order to make the rest of…
Back in April, we shared the first team photo of the Denver Broncos 2013-2014 cheerleading team, plus goodbye messages from those leaving the squad. Now, however, we’ve got newly shared solo photos of each person on the 26-strong crew courtesy of the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders Facebook page. Meet the members,…
Given that we’re in a quiet period for NFL news, the DUI arrests for two Broncos executives — director of player personnel Matt Russell and director of pro personnel Tom Heckert — quickly became the league’s biggest story on ESPN and other sports outlets. Not that such incidents are highly…
