Denver may be landlocked, but the town was hit by a hurricane two years ago — and its name was Tim Tebow. Now that Peyton Manning has signed with the Broncos and Tebow’s trade to the New York Jets is offical, the time is right to look back on Tebowmania,…
If you weren’t amused by Jimmy Fallon’s Tebowie skit the first time around, tough luck — because you’re about to see a lot more of it. Even before The Chosen One was traded to the Jets, Fallon reprised the gag to reflect the Broncos’ Peyton Manning signing, complete with lyrics…
Update: The Tim Tebow to the Jets trade spent only a brief time in limbo yesterday. The Broncos and the Jets eventually agreed to split a $5 million payment required by a contract clause, resulting in The Chosen One’s ticket being punched for the Big Apple, and an even brighter…
Peyton Manning seems like a normal-size human being on TV. But in person, it’s clear that he’s a giant — someone who even looks down on a man as big as John Elway. Look below to see lotsa different angles on Manning and company from yesterday’s Broncos’ press conference in…
The Broncos’ decision to sign Peyton Manning — a move expected to be made official at a 1 p.m. press conference today — has been lauded by plenty of NFL experts. But KHOW radio host Dan Caplis isn’t celebrating. Caplis, who said last August that Tebow was the victim of…
If the movie Downfall’s makers got paid each time YouTubers adapted a scene of Hitler freaking out, they’d be swimming in cash by now. The latest version features Der Fuhrer (filling in for team owner Pat Bowlen) going ballistic after finding out the Broncos plan to pay 35-year-old Peyton Manning…
Our long regional nightmare is over. Nearly a month after returning to the States, Wilson Chandler has signed with the Nuggets, who yesterday announced the completion of a five-year deal worth almost $37 million. Even though the last meaningful game he played was in China, where he spent the NBA…
Peyton Manning’s choice of the Broncos spurred lotsa profanity on Twitter from fans of the teams he passed by — but did Arizona-based KTVK-TV anchor Kaley O’Kelley follow suit? Deadspin (via Jimmy Traina) claimed O’Kelley reacted to the news by exclaiming, “Fuck!” live on the air. However, she insists on…
Update: Just over an hour after our post, on view below, about rumors that Peyton Manning was leaning toward playing for the Tennessee Titans next season comes very different news. ESPN is reporting that Manning has chosen to sign with the Denver Broncos next season…
On Saturday night, the CU Buffs played pretty much the same game as in their previous two wins: a very good first thirty minutes, an iffy last ten. But because they didn’t have a big lead this time, they fell to the Baylor Bears 80-63 in the NCAA men’s basketball…
It’s 3-16 — digits more closely linked to Tim Tebow than No. 15. Back in the day, he daubed them into his eye black as a salute to the Bible verse John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes…
With the finality of Wilson Chandler’s self-imposed deadline (note: deadline not final) looming today, it appears he and the Nuggets are closing in on a long-term deal. From ESPN’s Marc Stein comes the strongest signs yet that the restricted free agent will indeed sign to play in Denver for the…
The Denver Nuggets have traded their 6-foot-11 center to the Washington Wizards for one of the dumbest, most immature players in the league. And yet, it’s not as bad as it sounds. Just before the trade deadline yesterday, Nuggets General Manager Masai Ujiri sent Nene to Washington in exchange for…
Earlier this week, we asked if the CU Buffs and the CSU Rams could get past their first matchups in the annual NCAA men’s basketball tournament. In the case of the Buffs, the answer was a sometimes resounding, sometimes nerve-racking but ultimately thrilling “yes” via a 68-64 victory over highly…
Even as Broncos Nation waits to find out if former Indianpolis Colts megastar Peyton Manning will bring his act to Denver, Twitter Nation is abuzz over the news that the plane in which he traveled to Nashville yesterday to meet with the Tennessee Titans braintrust parked in Taylor Swift’s hangar…
It’s a busy time on the “Former Broncos who have spent a lot of time in court” beat. Perrish Cox, fresh from being acquitted of a sex crime, has landed a two-year contract with the 49ers, while Brandon Marshall was traded by Miami to Chicago in what some initially theorized…
No question that the Nuggets’ 118-117 overtime victory against the Atlanta Hawks last night was exciting: I left the Pepsi Center feeling simultaneously elated and in need of emergency medical care. But while the contest certainly spotlighted many of Denver’s attributes, it also left me wondering if the squad’s issues…
Those early reports that Peyton Manning would decide on a new team by Tuesday proved to be as greatly exaggerated as our initial view that he’d join the Los Angeles Lakers before he’d ink with the Broncos. At this writing, Denver is thought to be among Manning’s final four or…
Initially, many of us regarded the thought of Peyton Manning signing with the Broncos as a pipe dream . Well, the stuff in that pipe has been pretty amazing thus far, with Manning actually visiting Denver in person shortly before a similar stop in Arizona. Now, with Peyton’s decision delayed…
We can say definitively that Wilson Chandler’s contract negotiations have been the most intensely followed of any restricted free agent swing man who played in China during the NBA lockout this season. Call us brash, but we’re putting that out there. Alas, the negotiations should have some finality this week…
Right now, Tim Tebow is watching the Denver Broncos’ attempt to sign Peyton Manning — a deal that would supplant him as the team’s starting quarterback. But many YouTube watchers want him to watch something else — videos exhorting him to help make murderous Ugandan strongman Joseph Kony famous. And…
Last Thursday, I scoffed at the prospect of Peyton Manning inking with Denver in a post headlined “Peyton Manning a future Bronco? And is that a pig I see flying?” But by the next day, when Manning met with John Elway and the team’s brass, it was clear my instincts…
