The folks at Mile High Sports Radio found an interesting archival bite related to five-star recruit Darrell Scott’s decision to leave the CU Buffs. Shortly after the team’s one impressive victory this season (against Kansas), Mile High host Les Shapiro asked embattled coach Dan Hawkins if he was afraid Scott…
First, there was CU Buffs coach Dan Hawkins’ astonishing news conference, when he tried to talk (and talk) (and talk) away the sting of the previous week’s 20-6 loss to Kansas State. Then, after an even larger humiliation at the hands of the Missouri Tigers, Hawkins focused his post-game remarks…
Here’s a trio of local bloggers doing what local bloggers do — blogging locally. John Bena at Mile High Report shows off an animated video co-created by Denver Stiffs mainstay Andrew Feinstein about a Bronco fan with a terrible secret… The Colorado Independent’s David O. Williams fears that pine-beetle weakened…
“Prebles” will be jumping at the chance to lure the 2026 Winter Games to Colorado. It’ll be the fiftieth anniversary of the city’s historic 1976 Olympic snub, and Denver no longer feels mousey about the future!…
CU Buffs coach Dan Hawkins certainly talks a good game. Trouble is, football is about making plays, not excuses — something Hawkins didn’t acknowledge in the wake of the team’s 36-17 loss to the Missouri Tigers on Saturday (see lowlights below). In a post-catastrophe conversation with KOA’s Mark Johnson, who…
For as long as most of us can remember, beat writers at the Denver Post have been allowed to make game predictions about teams they cover — but no more, because of a decision by the paper’s editor, Greg Moore. The dictate went public Friday afternoon, when Broncos writer Mike…
No one’s deep-throating any shotguns following the Broncos’ 30-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens yesterday. The Broncos had been lucky to be 6-0 — hell, they were fortunate to be 1-0 — and they were more than due for a reality check. But the way the game developed raises worries…
The Broncos are 6-0, while the Baltimore Ravens, who they’ll play on Sunday, are 3-3. No problem, right? But the Ravens can be a terrifying team, and not just on Halloween weekend. Given a couple of breaks here and there, they could be undefeated as well — they were absolutely…
Those of us making ends meet on modest salaries are always astonished when we hear about celebrities who earn much, much more but still manage to piss it all away. Case in point: Denver Nuggets legend Dan Issel, who declared bankruptcy in June thanks to debts estimated at $4.5 million…
CU Buffs coach Dan Hawkins’ news conference yesterday, excerpted in the Boulder Daily Camera clip above and viewable in its entirety below, began with an opening statement that lasted more than twenty minutes, and it seemed longer. Hawkins is a smart guy, and he’s got to know that he’s not…
Right now, fans of pro sports in Denver have a difficult task — figuring out how not to spontaneously orgasm at inappropriate times (like during fully clothed meetings with the boss) due to the magical confluence of seasons involving all the big-four sports: baseball, football, hockey and basketball. The World…
Sports talk shows and blogs blew up over the weekend after cameras spied New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez eating a hot dog on the sidelines during a TV time out. Some critics have said Sanchez, who apologized after the game for some reason, was showing up the pathetic Oakland…
When Broncos fans Googled new quarterback Kyle Orton this past spring, many of them were greeted with image after image of KO boozin’ it up and getting’ crazy with the ladies. He’s reportedly left those lifestyle extremes behind, or at least engages in them when there are no cameras present…
Last week, Fox Sports’ Tim Ryan insisted that Jay Cutler was worth everything the Chicago Bears gave the Denver Broncos to get him even though Cutler had only racked up a 3-2 record at that point this season, as opposed to a 6-0 mark for Kyle Orton, the QB the…
Okay, you and me, and most of the local media, and all of the national media — everyone, really, except this guy. We read his age, and we heard the lip-smacking and the no-commenting, and we saw all the former Patriots showing up in Dove Valley, and we decided: This…
Sorry, Kyle Orton. Even if the Broncos go undefeated this season, you probably still won’t get any respect from NFL media wise guys. Latest example: Fox Sports’ Tim Ryan, who was asked in a “5 Questions” piece if the Bears made the right move giving up so much to get…
A few months back, Jay Cutler’s Twitter feed was actually kinda entertaining — mostly because the person tweeting under Sweet Baby Jay’s name was an imposter. Now, however, Cutler has what appears to be a legit Twitter account, and he used it to confirm that he’s just signed a hefty…
As we all know, Chargers QB Philip Rivers is a dick. Even most of the people who like him would agree — and given the Broncos’ performances against SD over the past several years, his dickishness has been able to reign supreme. So even more satisfying than Denver’s 34-23 victory…
I know, I know: Philip Rivers is one of the most talented young quarterbacks in the NFL, blah blah blah. But he’s also a classless dick — the kind of dick Broncos fans would love to see caught in a zipper à la Little Ben (Stiller) in There’s Something About…
Yorvit Torrealba was definitely among the best performers during the Rockies’ all-too-brief 2009 playoff run, hitting well (e.g., that home run in game two) and playing consistent defense. So, of course, the team is going to let him leave. No, the Rockies haven’t announced that Torrealba will only be invited…
Recent news accounts from Eaton, Commerce City and Aurora, demonstrate that social behaviors and youth coaching practices are changing, and all will have a profound impact on the evolution of youth football… #1. For starters, the customary coin toss, used to determine which team will kick off, is being replaced…
