The NBA lockout was like a pregnancy. There was a lot of irrational screaming and finger-pointing, and of course, labor pains. And the entire time, all anyone wanted to see was the baby. In this case, the baby is a season, which was born very early Saturday morning and appears…
Remember way back when Kyle Orton was quarterback of your Denver Broncos? The folks at Landlocked Pioneers do. They’ve put together a hilarious farewell video featuring a dead ringer for KO, who’s portrayed as the drunken party dude he was known as before hitting Colorado in 2009. Want to hear…
In 2009, Westword writer Joel Warner told the story of Colorado parkour pioneer Ryan Ford, who had recently opened the world’s largest parkour gym, APEX Movement. Since then, the sport — described on APEX’s website as “an art of movement in which you train the body and mind to overcome…
It’s Tim Tebow’s worldwide web. We’re just surfing on it. With the Broncos having reeled off their fourth straight win, Tebowmania has reached heights that even his most fanatical fans probably never imagined. But that doesn’t mean the haters have been squelched. Here are some examples from opposite sides of…
Did watching Jesus perform miracles ever become routine? No — and we’re sure as heaven not bored seeing Tim Tebow do likewise week after week. But thanks and praise for the Broncos 16-13 win over San Diego must be shared with The Chosen One’s apostles. Especially Saint Von Miller…
What was even more amazing about the Broncos’ latest come-from-behind win with Tim Tebow at the helm? The apparent fact that CBS held a shot of San Diego Chargers kicker Nick Novak — who missed two key field goals this afternoon — draining his lizard during fourth quarter crunch time…
Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow graces the latest cover of Sports Illustrated, currently on the stands. And the picture is pretty awesome: It shows Tebow taking a snap during last week’s Broncos-Jets game, thousands of fans in the background. Of course, Tebow isn’t new to the magazine’s cover — he…
Denver Broncos fans got a little jolt of reality this morning when they found out that three players from the Super Bowl years had been nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Running back Terrell Davis, safety Steve Atwater and linebacker Karl Mecklenburg all made the list of 26…
As part of our attempt to keep you abreast of the Zeitgeist, we now share with you this entry from the wacky new Pepper Spraying Cop website: “Thank you lord Jesus for taking time out of your busy day to allow me to throw a football around and run around…
Today, the Denver Post published an article in which John Elway was unwilling to dub Tim Tebow the Broncos’ franchise quarterback. But the team just made a larger statement about the future according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Here’s his tweet from moments ago…
Tim Tebow’s latest miracle versus the Jets inspired Bronco Planet to share a musical nod to No. 15: a version of “I Believe” from The Book of Mormon (by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, locals made good and Broncos fans) in which puppets yelp lines like, “I believe… that reading…
Back in September, we wondered if Nuggets J.R. Smith, Wilson Chandler and Kenyon Martin might win a championship in China, where they’d opted to play due to NBA labor strife. Given the increasing likelihood of a lost season, this plan looked smart, and it could still be — although Smith’s…
It’s gotten to the point where it’s funny, at least for Broncos fans. Denver’s 17-13 win over the Jets will no doubt boost sales of those Tim Tebow Jesus jerseys, as well as more comparisons between The Chosen One and His Lord and Savior, and that’s understandable. After all, JC’s…
First, it was Tebowing — the act of genuflecting in praise à la Tim Tebow — that stirred unholy questions about the mingling of faith and football. And now, here comes customized Tebow jerseys with the name “Jesus” on the back. Hard to tell how many people actually have one…
Tim Tebow believers have always viewed him as a miracle worker, and after the Broncos’ 17-10 win over the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday, they’ve got more inexplicable evidence to support their argument. As his Lord and Savior conjured up loaves and fishes, Tebow created a victory out of thin air…
“Rocky, Rocky, Rocky! Fight, Fight, Fight!” That’s the cheer of the number-one roller derby team in the country: Denver’s own Rocky Mountain Rollergirls, who kicked all sorts of spandex-ed ass last year to win the WFTDA Championships. The team will defend that title starting today at the 1stBANK Center Broomfield,…
After Tim Tebow threw himself to the Lions last weekend, the hatred from Twitter Nation came fast and furious — and even True Believers could be forgiven a moment of doubt. But once again, The Chosen One answered unlikely prayers, leading the Broncos to a 38-24 victory on the road…
I’m a big hockey fan and have been since junior high, when my Penguins won their first two Stanley Cups and the Pittsburgh suburb where I grew up exploded with joy. But I’m now a working Colorado father and the NHL has all but priced out middle-class families, with many…
After Tim Tebow’s Miami Miracle, Kyle Garratt shared the ten best tweets about The Chosen One. But the worm has turned, and this week, Twitter Nation has been raining hate on poor Timmy. Fortunately, some of it’s pretty amusing — unless you’re the kind of person who was offended by…
Okay, so you knew this week’s Broncos-Lions game wouldn’t turn into a homegrown version of the Miami miracle. But did you thinks it would be as bad as the 45-10 debacle that took place yesterday? If so, you’re either a hellbound heathen or an astute observer of the NFL. But…
There are still plenty of people who doubt Tim Tebow’s QB skills — but no one should downgrade his ability to pimp, albeit in a vigorously wholesome way. Shortly after the launch of a website devoted to Tebowing — striking Timmy’s trademark prayerful pose of thanks — the man himself…
