Colorado is a mecca for cyclists throughout the world — but it can also be a dangerous place to ride. In January, we reported about the conviction of cycling critic Patrick Ward in the death of Michel Van Duym. And in recent days, we told you about the sentencing of Zachary…
For years, the achievements of Colorado Rockies hitters have been undervalued. Why? Because of the perception that the thin air of the Mile High City and the dimensions of Coors Field, the Rockies home, offer the team an unfair advantage that leads to inflated statistics. Over the years, Rockies execs…
Denver Broncos Super Bowl MVP Von Miller’s stint on Dancing With the Stars is over, but not because of farting, a habit that led partner Witney Carson to fine him $100 per explosion. Rather, Miller’s and Carson’s performance to Elvis Presley’s “A Little Less Conversation” — with Von dressed as Elvis…
Yesterday, in a post about a Peyton Manning tribute video, I wrote that it was “highly unlikely” that the Broncos would choose a quarterback with their first pick in last night’s NFL Draft since “all the marquee names should be gone by then.” I couldn’t have been more wrong. Paxton…
As we’ve noted, the annual NFL Draft gets underway tonight — and even though your Denver Broncos are highly unlikely to choose a quarterback with their first pick (all the marquee names should be gone by then), their signal-caller situation is dire. The only QBs currently on the squad are…
Unless you’ve been living in a sports-free zone lately, you know that tonight, the 2015 NFL draft will get underway in Chicago. Your Denver Broncos have the 28th overall pick, although rumors are rife they could move down in the pecking order — or up — or stay put. Basically, there’s…
A lot of questions are lingering about the 2016-2017 Denver Broncos. And we’re not just talking about who will play quarterback for the squad. Yesterday at the University of Denver’s Gates Concert Hall, the public was introduced to the latest Denver Broncos cheerleaders squad — a high profile gig to…
At this writing, we’re ten days away from the April 28 start of the 2016 NFL draft, and the Denver Broncos’ quarterback situation remains unresolved. With Peyton Manning’s retirement and the mutiny of Brock Osweiler, who signed a big-money deal with the Houston Texans, the most senior signal-caller on the…
Over the weekend, as we’ve reported, troubled former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel told TMZ he’s living with Von Miller while the latter is living in the Los Angeles area to compete on Dancing With the Stars. Nope, Von Miller retorts. But that doesn’t mean he’s thrown Manziel under the team…
Since Peyton Manning’s retirement, the quarterback situation for your Denver Broncos has gone from bad to worse. First, QB heir apparent Brock Osweiler signed with the Houston Texans. Then, the Broncos inked Mark Sanchez, a journeyman signal caller best known for what’s become known as the Butt Fumble. Meanwhile, negotiations…
Peyton Manning isn’t the only Denver Bronco to retire after winning a Super Bowl. Also stepping away is offensive lineman Tyler Polumbus, whose letter announcing his decision, seen below in its entirety, will warm the hearts of any fan not just of the Broncos, but of football in general. Polumbus…
This is what happens when you’re on a Super Bowl-winning team: Video of you throwing a punch in a nightclub ends up on TMZ even when the cops aren’t called. The footballer in question is Broncos defensive lineman Derek Wolfe. He’s one of the most identifiable members of the team,…
At least we know the Colorado Rockies won’t go winless this season. In game one of the 2016 campaign last night, the Rocks ruined vaunted free-agent-pitcher signee Zack Greinke’s debut for Arizona, clubbing the Diamondbacks 10-5. Such play is capable of inspiring optimism in fans — or at least in those…
The folks at Coors Field announced last month that they were raising their outfield fences by a significant amount, both to normalize the home-run record in the field and to prevent so many teams from scoring on the poor Rockies by way of the long ball. Clearly, this is an…
Your Broncos MVP, ladies and gentleman, can’t stop passing gas. In a classic Von Miller move, the linebacker and hometown hero told the Dancing With the Stars judges that he has been getting fined for being late and farting too much by his dance partner Witney Carson. The price? A…
In the winter of 2014, South Carolina-based tennis coach John Prenelle called Ryan Segelke with a proposition. Prenelle was training a bright young Ugandan tennis player named John Lutaaya who was running out of funding and needed somewhere to go or else he’d be on his way back to Uganda,…

March Madness — the annual NCAA men’s basketball championship tournament — visited Denver this year. But even though a significant chunk of the action was scheduled to take place at the Pepsi Center, I expected to be witnessing it as I had for many years: on my TV at home…
Denver Broncos linebacker Shane Ray has gotten himself into trouble with the team’s faithful. A native of Kansas City, he wanted to get a tattoo that reflected his pride in his hometown — which no reasonable Coloradan would begrudge. Problem is, the final collage includes the logo of the Kansas…
Yesterday afternoon, the CU Buffs men’s basketball team learned that they’d been invited to the Big Dance — the 2016 NCAA Tournament popularly known as March Madness. The Buffs received an eight seed. That’s not bad given their 22-11 record — although this year, even the top seeds have more…
Your Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos have a quarterback problem. First, Peyton Manning retired. Then presumed heir apparent Brock Osweiler signed with the Houston Texans. That suddenly left the Broncos scrambling for a viable signal caller — a situation the Daily Snark satirized in a piece claiming that the team had…
