Rumors about a Carmelo Anthony trade continue to swirl — and it’s becoming increasingly clear that if such a deal is made, Melo won’t be the only one impacted. Indeed, there’s a good chance that a number of dominoes could fall, with one of them being hometown hero Chauncey Billups…
At last, Chris “Birdman” Andersen is fully healed and back on the floor, and he made a huge difference in the Nuggets’ 106-89 spanking of Golden State last night. To celebrate his return, we’ve collected a batch o’ photos from the Birdman’s Facebook page, including some choice looks at his…
San Diego QB Philip Rivers not only wins games. He also wins the Terrible Sportsmanship triffecta: He’s a bad winner, a bad loser and, I’d be willing to bet, bad when he ties. Rivers has raised assholery to an art form, which only makes the 35-14 hurting he and the…
As a Broncos fan, I have a preternatural aversion for praising a member of the Oakland Raiders for doing anything — especially attacking someone on the opposing team after the whistle had blown. But his punch to the face of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, while undeniably a cheap shot,…
News about the death of former Denver Broncos running back Rob Lytle at age 56 came as a shock to all Broncos fans who remember the period when the team went from perennial doormat to NFL power. As an NFL player, Lytle is best known for a fumble that wasn’t…
If you were too busy watching Walking Dead or, worse, the American Music Awards, you might have missed this goal that gave the Colorado Rapids the winning advantage in the 2010 MLS Cup championship game at Toronto’s BMO Field, over FC Dallas. Before YouTube yanks the video of that serendipitous…
Good news, Broncos fans: SB Nation editor Andrew Sharp advises bettors to put their money on the Broncos versus San Diego on Monday. But part of his rationale won’t thrill Tim Tebow lovers, even if he does take a well-aimed shot at Chargers quarterback and well-known dick Philip Rivers…
While rumors continue to swirl about Carmelo Anthony being traded to the New York Knicks or other squads, his wife, La La Vazquez, who appears to be pushing a move outta Denver, is in the mood to celebrate. She stars in an Us magazine clip in which she gives party…
Last night’s Nuggets victory over the New York Knicks gave reporters the opportunity to ask Carmelo Anthony about rumors that he’d soon be playing for the losing squad. He attempted to deflect speculation, but the responses he provided weren’t especially convincing to Jason Smith, host of ESPN Radio’s AllNight, who…
Lately, there’s been no public progress in trading Carmelo Anthony, making it difficult for fans to commit to the Nuggets despite the team’s recent victory over Kobe Bryant’s Lakers. Meanwhile, Melo’s still sending mixed signals over whether he prefers to move to a winner or ink with a struggling franchise…

The Hydra, the roller skate-shaped trophy bestowed annually upon the best roller derby team in the country, won’t have far to travel in 2011. It’s now on display at the Denver warehouse that’s home to the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls, who won the 2010 Women’s Flat Track Derby Association Championships –…
On Friday, we published ten great Broncos video moments against the Chiefs in part because we feared there might not be any on Sunday — but we needn’t have worried. The Broncos’ 49-29 stomping of the K.C. crew featured more highlights than the rest of the season combined (see a…
If the Broncos lose to the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend, their season won’t be officially over, but close enough — and at 2-6, Denver hasn’t give fans much reason to hope of late. But it wasn’t always that way, as our following video roundup of ten great Broncos moments…
Carmelo Anthony wasn’t always at his best against the L.A. Lakers last night. He vacillated between focused/unstoppable and scattered/ineffective. But he came through when it mattered most, showing the NBA’s most elite player, Kobe Bryant, that he belongs in the discussion of the league’s best. The result was a 118-112…

Many Nuggets fans have been frustrated by the apparent lack of progress in a Carmelo Anthony trade — a situation that’s keeping players and fans alike in limbo and leaves open the possibility that the Nugs will wind up with nothing à la Toronto and Cleveland. Now, a front office…
The firing of CU Buffs coach Dan Hawkins belatedly became official yesterday, with Hawkins showing up in person to essentially bury himself. But even as Twitter Nation tweeted about Hawkins getting the sack, long-suffering CU fans began to fixate on who can put this broken program back together again. Two…
Twitter Nation’s got a lot to say about Dan Hawkins finally being fired as CU’s football coach. And some of the comments aren’t terribly complimentary, as you might expect — although we did find a few that are sympathetic, more or less. Here are the ten most memorable tweets we’ve…
After CU weaseled out of firing Dan Hawkins last year, I feared the university would find another excuse to keep Hawk even after this past weekend’s Kansas debacle. But no: CBS4 and other sources report that the pin will finally be pulled today, belatedly remedying one of two hideous high-profile…
If the Nuggets lose Carmelo Anthony in a complicated trade deal, our fair city will lose another asset, too: Melo’s wife, the fabulous La La Vazquez, she of the custom pink Range Rover, gold Gucci heels and VH1 reality show. Because while Denver has a trendy bike share program, lots…
