The newly hired head coach for the Denver Broncos has seen plenty of ink lately. The ink refers to the vast amount of press coverage used to tell John Fox’s life story. But as seen below, a tattoo artist could have used the aforementioned ink to tell the same expansive…
Update: The spokeswoman for the stock show has responded to our post and acknowledged that mistakes were made. See her comments below our original item. I was sitting in the stands of the rodeo at the National Western Stock Show on Saturday night, watching men wrestle steer to the ground,…
The longer the suspense over a possible Carmelo Anthony trade to New Jersey drags out, the more the pressure builds for Anthony and fans — like this reader, who just wants the Melo drama to end. Sorry, but there’s no resolution yet — and in an ESPN interview on view…
John Elway’s announcement yesterday that John Fox has been named the Broncos’ new head coach wasn’t a guaranteed hit. After all, Fox most recently coached the Carolina Panthers, the one NFL team with fewer wins than Denver this past season. But in advance of his introductory news conference slated for…
Shannon Sharpe, the outspoken tight end who was part of both of the Denver Broncos winning Super Bowl teams, was named on Sunday as a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame — again. It was the third time that the eight-time Pro Bowler — now a broadcaster for…
We’ve got the news straight from the Horse’s tweet: Moments ago, newly minted football operations veep and Twitter fan John Elway revealed that the Denver Broncos have hired John Fox to succeed the disastrous Josh McDaniels as the team’s head coach. Which is good in some ways, not as good…
When was the last time anyone other the parents of players paid attention to the CU Buffs men’s basketball team? Well, there’s finally a reason to start. Last night’s victory over Kansas State marks the second straight win over a ranked opponent — which has never happened before in school…
The talk of a blockbuster Carmelo Anthony trade to the New Jersey Nets continues to build, and with it the pressure on Melo. Throughout the process, he’s been cautious with his public comments — but in the past day or so, posts on his Twitter feed have grown increasingly whiny…
The Denver Broncos’ decision to post videos of head coaching candidates has bemused NFL observers league-wide. Take an item by the Washington Post’s Cindy Boren, in which she says the team has turned its coaching search into a “reality show,” albeit a notably sanitized one. No hot tub threesomes yet,…
Yesterday, we told you that a blockbuster three-team deal to send Nuggets Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups to the New Jersey Nets had hit a roadblock, reportedly because the Nugs wanted the Nets to take relatively new acquisition Al Harrington off their hands, too. But is that the actual reason…
Update below: Carolina Panthers coach John Fox is expected to arrive in Denver today — weather permitting — to interview for the job of Denver Broncos head coach. But before he faces Pat Bowlen, John Elway, Joe Ellis and other team executives, he will likely show his face to Broncos…
We’re hearing conflicting reports about the long-rumored trade of Carmelo Anthony to the New Jersey Nets. Some sources suggest that a deal for Melo and Chauncy Billups is imminent, while another says it’s on the rocks due to the Nuggets’ insistence on including Al Harrington in the package…
Sometimes it seems that every day is Tim Tebow day on ESPN — but it really was yesterday, with the debut of the documentary Everything In Between and a slew of appearances on the radio and TV sides of the operation. Arguably the most amusing of them was a behind-the-scenes…
Did you know Denver has an indoor professional lacrosse team? Of course you did! Which is why the ticket gods have bestowed upon us three sets of four tickets each to the Colorado Mammoth’s opening game of the season, against the Washington Stealth…
At this writing, John Elway is reportedly on the job as executive veep of football operations for your Denver Broncos, and he’ll presumably have a big say about who becomes the next head coach. But there’s a problem — the same one the team’s braintrust failed to address when hiring…
The Colorado Lottery’s Mega Millions jackpot rose to $330 million on Tuesday. That’s a lot of green, and while we all like to fantasize about what we’d do with our winnings — pay the mortgage? – can we all agree to donate that money to the Broncos and the Rockies?…
Nugget Kenyon Martin’s birthday was surely better than his April Fool’s Day, when teammate J.R. Smith’s driver filled K-Mart’s SUV with buttered popcorn. The power forward’s December 30 birthday appears to have been a happier affair, though it, too, involved some Nuggets hazing: Rookie guard Gary Forbes was elected to…
Broncos? What Broncos? Colorado Rockies season officially begins today, on the day after the pathetic (yet strangely exciting — near the end, anyway) Denver Broncos closed out their worst year in history with a 4-12 record, no coach and a huge number of problems…
Because most of us can only stand the talking heads of the NFL pre- and post-game shows in two- or three-minute increments, we asked Broncos fans leaving the 33-28 loss to San Diego on Sunday at Invesco what they thought of the season. In three words or less. Photos and…
Before the Nuggets beat the Timberwolves 119-113 last night in Minnesota, Nuggets head coach George Karl said his team considered trading for hot-shooting Timberwolves star Kevin Love this past summer. According to reports, Karl said the organization asked about a possible trade for Love, a 6′ 10″ power forward…
One is the loneliest number. The Pro Bowl rosters were released last night, and, assuming there are no Broncos added as replacements, the team will have its fewest representatives since 1988, when punter Mike Horan was the lone Bronco. That team was much better than this one, too: They went…
Before the Independence Bowl last week in Shreveport, the Air Force falcon was released for a bit of pre-game wing stretching. But the mascot had bigger things than a stadium circuit in mind — namely, a tour of downtown, where he was found hours later thanks to a tracking device…
