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…
Update: Rollergirls’ spokeswoman PJ “Dangerous Leigh A’Zon” Shields called us back, after arriving in Denver from Chicago late Monday night with The Hydra trophy in tow. See her comments below the original item. The Rocky Mountain Rollergirls are officially the best…
Last year, Dan Hawkins so thoroughly wrecked CU football that his sacking appeared inevitable. Hence, my post dubbing Hawkins a dead man talking, because he seemed to think he could yammer his way out of getting fired — which he did, to the shock of all. Now, after an even…
Despite Carmelo Anthony’s recent I-want-a-change comment to Yahoo! Sports, the Melo trade rumors that were rife during the off-season have died down now that the games count. But they haven’t gone away, with the latest rumblings involving franchises that were previously identified as possible Anthony destinations: the NJ Nets and…
The Broncos’ recent downturn, capped by an epic choke job versus the San Francisco 49ers, bummed out fans — but who knew it would also surprise objective observers like Yahoo! Sports’ Shane Bacon. In his list of the ten most disappointing NFL teams of 2010, Bacon awards the Broncos fifth…

Congrats to MJ, Katie, Tom, Neil, Dave, Jeremy, Darby, Adrienne, Kaitlin and Stephanie. _____ Did you trudge into work this morning, lamenting…
After our “Top 10 Ways Josh McDaniels Has Destroyed the Denver Broncos” post last week following the team’s 59-14 shellacking by the Oakland Raiders, we hoped there’d be no reason to come up with another critical list today. No such luck. The Broncos’ 24-16 collapse against the woeful San Francisco…
Update: Congrats to Ryan (“I’ll cheer louder than vuvuzela!”) With that kind of claim, how could we not give you the four tickets. And you got to see a Rapids victory! Thanks for reading and playing along; there were some very good entries. ________ At 7 p.m. on Thursday night,…
Thanks to Josh McDaniels’ success at destroying the Broncos, exemplified by the team’s 59-14 loss to the Raiders, Denver’s on ESPN’s radar right now. On Tuesday, Pardon the Interruption’s Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon suggested that McDaniels stay in London after this weekend’s San Francisco 49ers matchup, since he won’t…
Our top ten list of the ways Josh McDaniels has destroyed the Broncos wasn’t meant to be funny. But somehow, Coach McD has become a national laughingstock following Denver’s 59-14 loss to the hated Raiders, with ESPN’s Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon piling on during yesterday’s edition of Pardon the…
In yesterday’s list of the top ten ways Josh McDaniels has destroyed the Denver Broncos, our number-one choice noted that rather than confronting players over the team’s 59-14 pasting by the hated Raiders, he went into “a private shell of misery — precisely the wrong thing to do under the…
Is it fair to blame Coach Josh McDaniels for the Broncos’ humiliating 59-14 loss to the Oakland Raiders yesterday? In a word: yes. McDaniels was brought to Denver to revitalize a once-proud franchise. Instead, he’s steadily undermined the squad with stupid decisions, poor management and inconsistency so consistent that Sunday’s…
Local football fans eagerly waiting to find out where John Elway would rate on the NFL Network’s list of the 100 greatest players finally have their answer: No. 7 finished at No. 23. An appropriate spot? Not according to a couple of prominent Broncos bloggers, who are plenty unhappy about…
The extended period of quiet over a Carmelo Anthony trade following the collapse of a deal with New Jersey is over. Not only are the Knicks back in the hunt, with a little reported help from Spike Lee, but now, both the Chicago Bulls and, yes, the Nets are reportedly…
Why are Carmelo Anthony trade talks between the Nuggets and New York Knicks heating up again? One theory is that the Nugs have lowered their demands and expectations, believing getting something for Melo is better than nothing. But now comes another possibility, and a pretty funny one, too: Spike Lee…
The Rocky Mountain Rollergirls are on top. Going into next month’s national WFTDA Championships, Denver’s oldest roller derby league is currently ranked No. 1 in the country by the Derby News Network, a website dedicated to all things derby — and the only organization to publish national rankings. According to…
We’ve known that Carmelo Anthony has wanted to play for the New York Knicks since that July wedding toast. The problem to date’s been the lack of assets the Knicks have had to offer in exchange for his services. But a new report suggests that a fresh offer is in…
Last night was the season finale of La La’s Full Court Wedding, the VH1 reality show that followed La La Vazquez as she planned her wedding to Nugget-for-now Carmelo Anthony. Not to ruin the ending, but they wind up getting hitched. The episode was sweet, if not a little boring…
