Our post about the NFL teams with the most annoying fans according to users of theCHIVE prompted a spirited conversation among readers, with many ripping those who follow the New England Patriots. In response, a reader posted a link to a website called Your Team Cheats, which calculates the number of…
The Rocky Flats Lounge has been a landmark on Highway 93 for more than sixty years. Before the building became a bar, it was the original payroll office for the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant, and when it was moved from that top-secret facility to this nearby spot on the…
Apparently many of the NFL’s best fans can also be the most annoying. That goes for supporters of your Denver Broncos, too — even the Peyton Manning fans who resisted ripping doubters after Denver’s incredible win over the Green Bay Packers this past Sunday. Last year, we shared Forbes’ roster of the…
Last week, I purchased some Broncos socks at a store in San Diego — a purchase that caused the Chargers-fan clerk to go into conniptions about his own team’s woes and Denver’s 6-0 record. And I’m ashamed to admit that to make him feel better, I predicted that the unbeaten…
Psst, hey you! Want some tickets to the Broncos-Packers game? Well, then you’re gonna have to pay up. Much has been made of the game between these two unbeatens, which takes place Sunday night at Sports Authority Field – and in front of a national TV audience – since it…
Plenty of folks took to Twitter on Sunday to express their unhappiness that the Broncos had a bye week. But quite a few expressed the opposite point of view. For this last group, the benefits of the Broncos having the week off included a major reduction in stress, the opportunity…
This weekend, your Denver Broncos have a bye — meaning there’s nothing that can happen to worsen their 6-0 record, which reached its present level after an improbable win over the Cleveland Browns on October 18. But that hasn’t stopped the complaining about quarterback Peyton Manning, who’s thrown more interceptions than…
Back in October 2014, when the Colorado Rockies finally said goodbye to longtime general manager Dan O’Dowd, we wondered if the change would make any difference given that Dick Monfort still owns the team. Unfortunately, the 2015 season demonstrated that Rockies fans like us were right to have our doubts…
After eking out their latest miracle victory against the Cleveland Browns, the Denver Broncos have a 6-0 record going into a bye week, setting up one of the most anticipated games of the 2015-2016 season to date: a match-up against the also-undefeated Green Bay Packers. The face-off will be at…
The Broncos could just as easily be 0-6 as 6-0. In fact, the former seems more likely than the latter given how miserable Denver’s offense has looked in the 2015-2016 season to date. Yet the Broncos’ defense is so off-the-charts incredible that on Sunday, Denver managed to eke out a…
On Sunday, October 18, the Denver Broncos and the Cleveland Browns will renew their rivalry. If you can call it that. As shown in win-loss stats courtesy of FootballDB.com on view below, the Browns beat the Broncos three of the first four times they played. Since 1975, however, the Broncos have…
The shape-shifting swarm of women moves at high speed across the field at Lakewood’s Washington Heights Park, cutting and dodging and lunging and gouging as they fight for control of an oblong ball. The women are split into two groups by their red and yellow scrimmage jerseys, each tasked with…
Another week, another group of fans who can’t believe they managed to lose to the Denver Broncos. This time around, it’s boosters of the Oakland Raiders, who hosted Denver at The Black Hole yesterday afternoon. As noted in our recent collection of Raiders suck memes, plenty of Raiders loyalists thought…
As longtime Bronco fans, we enjoy hating the Oakland Raiders. But it hasn’t been as much fun in recent years, owing to how horrible the Raiders have been. This year, however, the Raiders, under former Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio, appear to be improved. Their record is 2-2 and…
Among the highlights of yesterday’s Broncos win over the Minnesota Vikings was Von Miller’s latest sack dance, in which he seemed ready to repeat a Key& Peele inspired feat that resulted in a fine by the NFL — only to psyche out the bean counters, who would no doubt have lightened…
If the average person had looked at Twitter during or after the Broncos’ game against the Minnesota Vikings yesterday, he might have assumed the team was 0-4 instead of 4-0 — because the attacks on Peyton Manning were coming fast and furious. Granted, the 23-20 Denver win wasn’t pretty. Manning…
The Broncos’ victory over the Detroit Lions during last night’s Sunday Night Football broadcast wasn’t as flat-out bizarre as the previous week’s win over the Kansas City Chiefs. But the win was just as dispiriting for Detroit Lions fans, in part because they thought their team had such a good chance…
“I did not become an athlete for reasons like this.” This statement was shared yesterday on Facebook by Justin Reiter, a snowboarder from Steamboat Springs, after a court appearance in Switzerland related to a lawsuit he filed against the International Olympic Committee. The reason for the complaint: the IOC’s decision…
Broncos fans who bailed out on last night’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs in the middle of the second quarter no doubt woke up shocked this morning. Early on, Denver’s offense looked horrific once again, with the line allowing one pass rusher after another to abuse Peyton Manning. He…
A lot of us like to think of Denver as the best sports city in America — especially on a day like today. After all, the excitement is as high for tonight’s nationally broadcast Broncos-Chiefs game as if it was taking place in Colorado instead of Kansas City. But while…
We Broncos fans have mighty high expectations. And sometimes, a win isn’t enough to put smiles on our faces. Yesterday’s 2015 NFL season kickoff against the Baltimore Ravens is a case in point. The Ravens are an excellent team considered a Super Bowl contender in many quarters, and Denver squelched…
On Sunday, September 13, your Denver Broncos officially start the 2015-2016 season against the Baltimore Ravens. And when you watch the game, there’s a good chance you’ll see some new faces. Seven rookies made the main 53-man roster, as opposed to the practice squad. Six of them, including linebacker and…
