True Broncos fans tend to hang on to anything and everything associated with the team — and my late Uncle John certainly qualified. He passed away a few years ago, but this weekend, I was given an envelope containing some of his Broncos treasures, including a slew of cards that…
This past weekend, Carmelo Anthony — you know, that guy who used to be Denver’s best basketball player until the new Nuggets showed up and started kicking major ass (GAAAAAAALLO!) — did something in New York that he could have never, ever done in Denver: took just a few hours…
On Friday, the Rockies lost a nail-biter and left the game worried about their starting pitcher’s thumb cuticle. On Saturday, the Rockies won a nail-biter and left the game worried about their starting pitcher’s blister. And while both games against the Arizona Diamondbacks were played in weather fit for a…
Yes, the Nuggets have been playing out of their minds since the Carmelo Anthony trade. But doubters still wondered if they could win on the road in the playoffs, or if they’d be one-and-done again. The Nugs provided a clue on Sunday, when they bested the Lakers in L.A., ending…
The topic of concussions and NFL football players continues to make news, even in the off-season, as CNN tells the heartbreaking story today of former lineman Shane Dronett, who killed himself in 2009, three years after retiring. Dronett was drafted in the second round by the Denver Broncos in 1992…
The Rockies are the best team in baseball. As of this writing they’re a half game ahead of the defending World Series Champion San Francisco Giants. We’re not sure what all the talk of grapefruit and cactus is about or why the good players keep leaving after half a game,…
You’ve heard them — the rumors that the Denver Broncos will use the second overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft on a quarterback. Yahoo! Sports contributor Bill Snyder’s heard them, too, and he thinks Broncos fans in general, and Tim Tebow lovers in particular, would be very displeased if…
At Giants slugger Barry Bonds’ perjury trial yesterday, the Colorado Rockies’ Jason Giambi testified about a long history of steroid use and his interactions with Bonds’ trainer, Greg Anderson. And outside? As seen in the video below, he signed autographs. Yes, the scene smacked of irony. But it also demonstrated…
There was so much positive about the CU Buffs’ mens basketball squad this year that it was tough to watch the season flicker out as a result of three bad sequences in a row during crunch time of last night’s 62-61 NIT semi-final loss against Alabama. So let’s deal with…
The Denver Roller Dolls have a new home team: the blue-and-yellow Electrocuties, whose logo is a roller skate wheel with a lightning bolt trailing behind it. The Electrocuties have a superhero-ish vibe, says skater and team member Andrea “Kendra Blood” Hill…
The release last July of Tim Tebow’s first photos for Jockey underwear caused multiple small orgasms among the faithful. So imagine the body rockin’ on the way now that a print and TV campaign is about to roll out. In advance, Jockey has released a couple of preview videos that…
A year ago, the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls launched a junior league, the Rocky Mountain Rollerpunks, for girls and boys who didn’t want to wait until they were eighteen to kick ass. The first year was phenomenal, reports Rollergirls spokeswoman PJ “Dangerous Leigh A’Zon” Shields — and now they’re gearing up…
After the CU Buffs got screwed out of a March Madness berth, their consolation was a number one seed in the National Invitational Tournament — and they’ve made the most of it so far. By beating Kent State last night, the squad earned the right to play in the NIT…
The NCAA basketball tourney games in Denver on Saturday stood in stark contrast to each other. Richmond-Morehead State boasted virtually no notable names, while Brigham Young-Gonzaga featured one of the biggest stars of 2011 March Madness, BYU’s Jimmer Fredette — a player so renowned that even his cheerleader gal-pal, Chatfield-grad…
There were a slew of bracket-busting upsets on the real day one of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament — damn you, Louisville! — but the University of Northern Colorado Bears weren’t part of one. UNC fell to San Diego State 68-50 in their first Big Dance foray. But through two-thirds…
At 5:15 p.m. today, Jimmer Fredette will join his BYU teammates at the Pepsi Center to take on Wofford in the first round of the NCAA basketball championships — and according to the Denver Post’s Woody Paige, Tim Tebow may turn up to watch a baller with a reputation every…
A lot of us were upset when the CU Buffs got screwed out of an NCAA tournament bid. But Josh Siegel and Alec Segall decided to do something about it. They created the “CU RALLY AND MARCH TO COORS FOR ROUND 1 GAME OF THE NIT” Facebook page with the…
The Nuggets were stuck in limbo most of this season due to the Carmelo Anthony trade — and now, new acquisitions from the New York Knicks and even veterans like Nenê are playing like parolees enjoying their first taste of freedom in ages. The same isn’t true of the Melo-supplemented…
B-Cycles are back! Yesterday was the first day the shiny red bikes with the spacious baskets were available for rentin’ and ridin’ in Denver. (Note to bad parents: The basket is not a baby seat. Your baby is not E.T. If your baby is, in fact, E.T., well, you’ve got…
The CU Buffs got screwed out of a ticket to the Big Dance, but the University of Northern Colorado Bears’ Big Sky tournament victory means they’ll take part in March Madness. Of course, most experts think you’d have to be crazy to believe UNC could topple their opponent, San Diego…
Last week, we used the term “lock” in our post about the CU Buffs’ Big Dance chances after beating Kansas State in the Big 12 tournament, — and we weren’t the only ones certain that was true. But no: Marcus Relphorde and the rest of the squad were snubbed by…
The Nuggets never win in Phoenix: That appeared to be an immutable fact during the George Karl era. But with last night’s Nuggets victory in the land of the sun, there appears to be a new rule: With Carmelo Anthony traded, all bets are off — including the idea that…
