A few weeks ago, I stumbled on a commentary about Tim Tebow by ESPN’s Rick Reilly. Now, I don’t care for football, and I don’t care for extreme media hype over an athlete, either. But Reilly’s commentary on Tebow is worth a read, even for you non-sports fans. Afterward, I…
Update: On Tuesday night, 9News announced that sacked Mullen High School coach Dave Logan, who’s also a KOA radio personality and voice of the Denver Broncos, would be the next head coach for Cherry Creek High. The Denver Post countered by claiming the deal wasn’t done yet, publicly disagreeing with…
How did CU land New Jersey cornerback Yuri Wright, a top 100 recruit coveted by plenty of other major universities? Part of the thanks go to a series of profane tweets that got him expelled from his prep school — after the football season was over, of course. Most mainstream…
When Tim Tebow sings solo — hear him crooning “My God is an awesome God” here — he’s terrible. Clearly, he needs help. And as our Backbeat blog reported, he received it from Brad Paisley Saturday night, intoning the title to “I’m Still a Guy” — because after losing to…
Dave Logan, recently fired as head coach of Mullen High School, is denying that he knew about recruiting violations, and says he would have fired any assistants guilty of such acts. As noted in our post yesterday, Mullen has long been suspected of recruiting — but Logan’s defenders insist he…
Yesterday, we noted that Tim Tebow’s rib injury during the Patriots game was similar to one sustained by Jesus during the crucifixion. A bit of a stretch? Maybe — but no more of one than a new claim that the Chosen One’s popularity is rubbing off on a certain savior…
The fallout from Mullen High School’s firing of mega-successful celebrity football coach Dave Logan has been long, loud and contentious. And the chatter will likely ramp up again in the wake of a meeting last night at which Mullen officials accused Logan’s staff of committing recruiting violations — a remarkable…
As the USA Pro Cycling Challenge proved, Coloradans love their bicycling races. Governor John Hickenlooper hopes to tap into that passion and bring attention to an often neglected part of the state with “Pedal the Plains,” which his office announced today. The three-day race will take place September 21-23 over…
Tweeters have crucified Tim Tebow for his play in Saturday’s 45-10 loss to the New England Patriots — and now it turns out that during the game, he sustained an injury very much like the one that at least temporarily killed Jesus Christ. Who rose again in fulfillment of the…
Even after a few days, the Broncos’ 45-10 loss to New England still stings — and so do the Tim Tebow taunts of Twitter Nation’s I-told-you-so faction. Look below to check out the ten most irritating we found, including zingers from celebs Jimmy Kimmel, Kat Dennings and Tebow Twitter jihadist…
Okay, you feel bad. No, you feel worse than bad. Five Tom Brady touchdown passes in the first half will do that to you. But just because the Patriots destroyed the Broncos 45-10 in tonight’s playoff game is no reason to despair. Renew your faith the same way Tim Tebow…
Boston mayor Tom “Mumbles” Menino thinks Colorado beer sucks. He thinks Boston beer is better. Yeah, you heard that right. On Thursday, Menino made headlines after Denver mayor Michael Hancock suggested that the two make the traditional sudsy bet over the outcome of the Denver Broncos vs. New England Patriots…

Whoever thought it would be awesome to paint a $300 portrait of Mickey Mouse as Tim Tebow is only slightly less credible than the person who will buy that painting. One step above them is the Disney lawyer who will ask that the painting be destroyed, but way (way) above…
Tim Tebow is big news. In fact, he’s such big news that it’s no longer acceptable for non-sports fans to not know who he is. Don’t worry: Westword has your back. For all of you who think NFL stands for National Forensic League and spend your Sundays and Monday evenings…

Given Tim Tebow’s recent proclivity for posing topless in just his Jockeys, no one should be surprised that women are lining up to relieve him of his self-professed virginity. But plenty of nice girls would love to be chosen by The Chosen One, too. They don’t want to get laid…
Could Tebow-mania cost Jockey big? In a perfect world, yes. The outfit made Tebow an endorser in 2010, long before he started in the NFL, with its release of a Chosen One snapshot that July prompting “multiple small orgasms” according to one Jockey Facebook fan. Now, however, the firm is…

When Josh McDaniels returns to the New England Patriots as an offensive assistant this weekend, he won’t only provide insight about a Broncos team he coached just last year. He’ll also complete an improbable circle in his career. Next year, McDaniels will take over as Patriots offensive coordinator, which is…
After the Broncos’ shocking playoffs victory over the Steelers, we noted that Tim Tebow’s 316 yards through the air echoed John 3:16, a Biblical verse he used to write in his eye black. Building on that theme, Free Colorado’s Ari Armstrong sets out to prove that Tebow’s passing stats throughout…
