Fremont Correctional Facility inmate and die-hard Dallas Cowboy fan Terry Hendrix is currently serving three different sentences ranging from five to 24 years — meaning he has a lot of time to stew over Dallas’s recent playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers. In fact, Hendrix was so upset about…
There’s still more than a week of hype to go before Super Bowl XLIX, and that means more blanket coverage of Deflategate (eeesh), as well as more pain for Denver fans who can’t decide which team they despise more — the Seattle Seahawks, who humiliated the Broncos in last year’s…
The reaction among members of Twitter Nation to the departure of John Fox as the Denver Broncos’ head coach was mighty mixed — and if anything, the team’s decision to hire Gary Kubiak, John Elway’s former backup, to take over is generating an even more varied reaction. Some tweeters are…
The frenzy to learn who will succeed John Fox as the next head coach of your Denver Broncos is getting crazier with each passing minute. As evidence, consider that yesterday afternoon, an SBNation post declared that prime hopeful Gary Kubiak — who’s gone from serving as John Elway’s backup QB…
At 4:05 Mountain Time on Wednesday, rock climber and Estes Park native Tommy Caldwell pulled himself up onto the top of Yosemite’s El Capitan, turned towards the cameras filming him from below, and raised his arms in victory. And like that, his seven-year-long quest to climb the Dawn Wall was…
News that the Denver Broncos and John Fox had parted company was immediately followed by speculation about who the team’s next head coach should be. But what about those who’ve filled the gig to date? Turns out there’ve been fourteen head coaches in Broncos history, and only five of them…
The Broncos’ latest dispiriting playoff defeat, this time at the hands of the Indianapolis Colts, was followed by two pieces of big news: the revelation that Peyton Manning had a quad tear, not a bruise, and the announcement that coach John Fox and the team are, in a carefully worded…
Denver boxer Mike Alvarado has a date in the ring on January 24, when he’s scheduled to face off against arch-rival Brandon Rios at the 1stBank Center. But first, he has another date: He is supposed to appear in Denver County Court at 1:30 p.m. on January 16, when he…
It wasn’t hard to get all nostalgic about football players from bygone eras yesterday, amid the godawful and spiritless performance of the Denver Broncos against the workmanlike Indianapolis Colts — who, unlike their decrepit hosts, managed to seem at least mildly interested in heading on to the AFC championship game…
I’m still mulling over what point Indianapolis Star writer Gregg Doyel was trying to make in a bizarre column that appeared yesterday, entitled “Next to Broncos, a Mass Murder Suspect Awaits.” All sorts of motivational drivel gets written in the pimp-happy world of sports journalism this time of year, as…
Only in Denver can you walk down the street wearing bright orange and completely blend in. It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, what the Denver Broncos’ record is or who’s playing quarterback — this city represents its team to the fullest. Mayor Michael Hancock, who once played…
Your Denver Broncos may have a higher seed and home-field advantage in Sunday’s playoffs match-up against the Indianapolis Colts. But judging by the tweets that started flying as soon as the Colts defeated the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend, most (yet not all) of Twitter Nation thinks Indy’s Andrew Luck is…
In the throes of the holiday season, even Tiny Tim’s charitable instincts can be severely tested by all the industrial-strength appeals to give, give, give. So it’s encouraging to report that some very local, decidedly grassroots campaigns on behalf of quixotic projects — call ’em labors of love — seem…
For many Colorado football fans, the name G-Man conjures up memories of 25 seasons ago, when local radio sportscaster Rich Goins, inspired by another rough start for the Denver Broncos, promised to live on a billboard until the team won a game and broke its losing streak. The Fox reporter…
In recent weeks, plenty of Broncos fans have been worried about how lousy Peyton Manning has looked even in victories. But Denver boosters got a reality check on Sunday against the Chargers, when a flu-stricken Manning went out with an injury and his replacement, Brock Osweiler, stunk up the joint,…
Yesterday’s Broncos win featured cons as well as pros. True, Denver beat the Buffalo Bills 24-17 in a contest whose outcome was never really in doubt, and the running backs continue to ball at a high level. But for the most part, Peyton Manning looked absolutely awful, throwing a couple…
Remember Kyle Orton, who quarterbacked your Denver Broncos during the darkest days of the Josh McDaniels era before being supplanted by none other than Tim Tebow? He returns to Mile High Stadium on Sunday as QB of the Buffalo Bills — and to welcome him back, we’ve collected the twenty…
Everything seemed to point to a Broncos loss against Kansas City last night, including a road game on a cold night and a desperate opponent fueled by an embarrassing loss (to the Raiders!) and the illness of a team leader (Eric Berry may have cancer). Yet Denver still emerged with…
Denver offensive lineman Manny Ramirez isn’t getting upset about a Broncos loss in this amusing screen capture, which has already spawned a popular Vine on view below: Instead, he’s pissed that Brandon McManus, who the Broncos picked up after unwisely jettisoning Matt Prater, missed his fourth field goal in his…
Denver released future Hall of Fame cornerback Champ Bailey this past March, but he was back yesterday, having signed a one-day contract so he could retire as a Bronco — and during a press appearance to mark the transition, he was his usual even-tempered self. Not so one young Champ…
The Broncos’ loss to the Rams on Sunday was tough on everyone, but particularly wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who left the field after taking a brutal hit that was quickly turned into a popular Vine that’s on view below. But the game didn’t kill him, despite Wikipedia briefly making a…
We knew going into yesterday’s match-up between Denver and St. Louis that those confidently predicting a Broncos blow-out were either stupid or delusional. After all, the Rams are a better team than their record indicates, with a win over Seattle standing as Exhibit A. But even we were stunned by…
