During the Nuggets’ embarrassing loss to the third worst team in the Western Conference on Saturday, JaVale McGee added a ridiculous highlight to Deadspin’s collection of mostly awful (but sometimes great) feats. Oh, did we forget to mention that Deadspin has an entire section dedicated to the boneheaded hilarity that…
After the Broncos traded Tim Tebow to the Jets, televangelist Pat Robertson accused Denver of treating Tebow shabbily. But a spokesman for Colorado Springs’ Focus on the Family, for which Tebow made a 2010 Super Bowl ad, doesn’t echo this claim. Instead, he believes the events that led the Broncos…
Yeah, the Colorado Rockies don’t have an “elite starting pitcher.” They don’t have a “guy who has played third base in the majors before.” They don’t have a “reliable fourth outfielder.” You know what the Rockies do have? A bunch of old guys! Also, they have some youngins’ they’re relying…
Today, the Colorado Rockies will open their 2012 campaign against the Houston Astros — and to mark the occasion, Denver City Councilwoman Judy Montero and folks from Denver Public Works painted a “Colorado Rockies Purple Stripe” (plus Rockies logos) on Blake Street between 19th and 22nd. We can imagine this…
Cycling nuts can start picking their viewing spots for the 2012 USA Pro Cycling Challenge — and participants now know the full extent of what they will be up against. Yesterday, organizers released full details of the route for this year’s race, which will take place Agust 20-26 and lead…
Bad news for my daughter, who’s described Broncos receiver Eric Decker as “the most beautiful man on the planet.” He’s now engaged to Jessie James, a country singer capable of giving Deck a run for his money in the gorgeous department. James’s Facebook page includes lotsa pics in which the…
Broncos lineman Ryan Clady provided insight into the 2011 Denver locker room during an ESPN chat yesterday. Despite goading from Tim Tebow fan club head Skip Bayless, Clady didn’t shy away from noting Timmy’s “trials and tribulations,” said the defense was largely responsible for his win streak, and mainly complemented…
Plenty of Broncos boosters have been in a state of giddiness since the signing of Peyton Manning. But here’s something capable of pouring cold water on overheated fans: Bleacher Report’s list of five NFL free agency moves sure to backfire is topped by none other than Mr. Manning…
Update: Rockies manager Jim Tracy got his wish, assuming the five-game suspension Cleveland Indians pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez received for drilling Troy Tulowitzki on Sunday is enough for him — and it might not be considering the vitriol he expressed towards his former ace after the game. The onetime Rockies pitcher…
Last week, we argued that the Women’s Final Four in Denver would be more competitive than the higher-profile men’s contest — and so far, this prediction appears to be on track. Kentucky boosters are so sure their team will win the men’s championship tonight that they’ve already rioted, and it’s…
Colorado has a new NASCAR team called Slice Racing. Want to know more about it? We do, too. But at this point, the secret folks behind this secret team are keeping most of the details secret…
You may remember Tim Tebow. He used to be the Denver Broncos starting quarterback. Ring a bell? Anyway, last weekend, the Broncos traded him to the New York Jets, who will use him as their backup QB — at least for now. Tebow didn’t ask to be traded and he…
New Broncos’ quarterback Peyton Manning has come across as cool, calm and collected since his signing. But don’t be fooled: Manning is among the most expressive players in the NFL — one who doesn’t mask his reactions when things go wrong. Below, we’ve collected videos counting down his top five…
Reebok was so excited to capitalize on Timsanity that it forgot a little detail: It’s not legally allowed to produce NFL clothing. Or at least that’s what Nike is alleging in a lawsuit the company filed yesterday in U.S. District Court. The suit states Reebok produced New York Jets merchandise…
What a way to start the day. As shown in a video from the Nuggets’ YouTube channel (it’s on view here), assistant coach Chad Iske gets the team ready for combat by screaming, “It’s 3:59, time to go to work” a few minutes before each game. Does it help? Well,…
Neptune Krill Oil sounds like something you’d find on page 117 of the Kama Sutra. Still, it doesn’t actually matter if you’re unfamiliar with the dietary supplement — because John Elway will tell you about it. The Broncos legend turned football operations veep has put his John Elway on a…
Denver lucked out when it was named host city for the 2012 Women’s NCAA Basketball Final Four. While the men’s tourney looks to be a walkover (can anyone stop Kentucky?), the women’s competition is absolutely killer, with four number one seeds — Baylor, Stanford, Connecticut and Notre Dame — all…
At the New York Jets’ Tim Tebow-introduction press conference yesterday, The Chosen One made it clear he was excited. Oh man, did he ever. Someone with plenty of time on his hands has created a clip documenting how many times Timmy used variations on the word “excited” during the event…
Hello, Denver sports noobs. Perhaps you’ve heard of a new man-about-town named Peyton Manning. No, no — he’s not the guy who won Project Runway All Stars. He’s a football player. A quarterback. In other words, Peyton Manning is the new Tim Tebow. Except less overtly Christian and better at…
Dear Jets and Jets fans, As you know, Tim Tebow was introduced as a Jet today, which is funny, because you just gave your starting quarterback a $40 million extension and your coach is one of the most boisterous and profane personalities in the league. But that’s another issue. We’re…
Ever since Tim Tebow was traded to the New York Jets, observers have wondered if he can maintain his squeaky clean image in the City That Never Sleeps (and Tends to Sleep Around). Just prior to his scheduled introduction to the NYC media, we’re getting an indication via a billboard…
Everyone’s got an opinion about the Broncos’ signing of Peyton Manning and trade of Tim Tebow to the New York Jets, including none other than Pat Robertson. The televangelist recently came out in favor of Colorado’s Amendment 64, the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act. Now, however, he’s basically suggesting that…
