The hilarious NBA Memes page has made the Denver Nuggets’ JaVale McGee a star by consistently portraying him as a total moron. The Deadspin feature “That’s So JaVale” does pretty much the same thing, and given the moment last season when he threw the game ball into the stands on…
Update: The Denver Nuggets have reportedly cut Chris “Birdman” Andersen and signed free agent Anthony Randolph, most recently of the Minnesota Timberwolves, to fill his slot on the roster. Andersen was once among the most popular Nuggets. However, that was before he was embroiled in what was initially described as…
In the wake of Elvis Dumervil’s Miami bust over the weekend, the Denver Post noted that the Broncos are third in the NFL since 2000 (behind only Minnesota and Cincinnati) in an extremely dubious category: most arrests. The paper’s source: an amazing database created by the San Diego Union-Tribune, which…
Update: In our original coverage of Broncos star Elvis Dumervil’s weekend arrest in Miami, we highlighted a local blogger’s speculation that the bust could have been “a black thing.” But the just-released police report suggests trouble may have begun with Dumervil’s pal, who allegedly had a road rage temper tantrum…
You don’t need a playbook to figure out what is going on inside the head of Denver Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams: nothing. On Thursday, local journalist John Ingold revealed that Williams has actually flunked not one, but two recent performance-enhancing drug tests. And Number 55 is already facing a six-game…
Back in March, we shared photos of mansions that could have been Peyton Manning’s new Denver home. Instead of moving into one of them, he temporarily bunked in Mike Shanahan’s old place. But now, TMZ reports that he’s purchased a 16,000 square foot Cherry Hills Village pad for a bargain…
Last night’s ESPY awards were a reminder to Broncos fans about the bizarre nature of the Tim Tebow era. He appeared multiple times in the friggin’ intro (including a brief Tebowing montage), was the first athlete on the stage (for a gag with host Rob Riggle), returned to be the…
There’s always 2026? In a disappointing development for folks who have been pushing Denver to make a bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics, news broke this week that the United States Olympics Committee is not going to pursue 2022, which means Denver is out of the running for that year…

Should Denver make a bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics? Yesterday, a panel of local experts and planners tasked with exploring the possibility yesterday gave state and city officials an overwhelming “yes” recommendation. And fortunately, a majority of folks across the state don’t know about 1976. Do you? If not,…
The Nuggets have the twentieth pick in tonight’s NBA draft. Yawn? Well, last year, the Nugs pulled off one of the great draft steals in recent memory when they snapped up Kenneth Faried with the 22nd slot. Could they repeat that feat? It’ll be tough, since this year’s draft class…
No, it’s not a surprise that Joe Sakic has been elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Seldom has a player in any major sport been more deserving from the standpoint of talent, skill and the way he played the game. Man, could the Avalanche use him now — and…
Back in April, when Broncos receiver Eric Decker and country singer Jessie James announced their engagement, we noted that they’re two of the planet’s most beautiful people. Turns out AthletesWives.com agrees, about James, anyway: She tops the site’s list of the hottest football player wives and girlfriends not just for…
Among other talents, porn star Tori Black is known for, well, blowing, as evidenced by her win in the Best Oral Sex Scene category at the 2011 AVN Awards. As such, she’d fit in perfectly on the Colorado Rockies pitching staff, which is also expert at blowing…leads, as happened again…
The Ultimate Fighting Championship is returning to Denver this summer — maybe in part because local tweeters were shouting and screaming for it. “It’s a great market all the way around for us,” UFC President Dana White said at a press conference this morning at the Pepsi Center, announcing the…
Last summer, then-Denver Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox was accused of impregnating his rape victim. In March, he was found not guilty of the charge. But while he had been cut by the Broncos beforehand, the current-San Francisco 49er isn’t done with Colorado. Cox’s alleged victim has filed a Jane Doe…
Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams’s inexplicable decision to tweet a photo from the squad’s playbook earned him slaps o’ plenty from Twitter Nation. See the ten most memorable reactions below. Still, there’s irony in this censure — because the response was considerably larger than the ones involving his DUI trial and…
Mike Shanahan hasn’t been the coach of the Denver Broncos for several years now — but he’s got a connection to the current Broncos squad. New QB Peyton Manning is reportedly staying in Big Mike’s massive Cherry Hills Village spread…
The drama over Peyton Manning coming to the Broncos, and Tim Tebow departing for NYC, is ripe for parody, and folks like those at the NFL Memes page have been having fun with it for months. Now, the website Humordy is weighing in with a twist on the Gotye smash…
When a pitcher gives up a grand slam that left the hitter’s bat at 122 miles per hour and broke part of the stadium when it landed, it’s a pretty good sign the end is near for that pitcher — especially when said pitcher is 49 years old. Two starts…
Twitter is a great way to keep up with the latest developments, including those that are complete crap. Like, for instance, a bogus Twitter announcement that super-Bronco Von Miller had been traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers — a prospect that Miller himself decked via a well-aimed tweet from his own…
This isn’t just another one of those “Jamie Moyer is really old, but still doing things” stories. No, it’s a “Jamie Moyer is really old and still doing things, but it’s really depressing because it’s basically the only highlight of the Rockies season” stories. See the difference? At 49-years-old, almost…
