The reactions to the Broncos’ 41-20 victory yesterday over the previously undefeated Arizona Cardinals have run the gamut. Some fans are praising the Broncos for a points explosion spurred by Peyton Manning’s 500th career touchdown pass and a career-high 479 yards through the air, while others grouse that the win…
There are folks who consider climbing all of Colorado’s fourteeners a life’s work. Then there’s a small, hardy corps of peak-baggers who compete with one another to nail those babies all at once, in the shortest amount of time; the current record runs at about ten days. And then there’s…
Hard to believe, but it was around this time just three years ago that Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow’s chosen way of celebrating a touchdown — lowering himself to one knee in prayer — became a national phenomenon dubbed Tebowing. Today, Tebow is long gone from Denver and on-the-field play…
It’s been a rough September for the University of Colorado. First the Buffs football team lost to their now arch-rivals, the Colorado State University Rams, in the annual early-season battle at Sports Authority Field, and then the entire school fell off Playboy’s yearly list of the biggest party schools in…
Broncos fans definitely aren’t predictable. After last week’s narrow victory over the Chiefs, plenty of Denver loyalists took to Twitter to declare that the Broncos suck even though they were 2-0.

Ever since Peyton Manning bought a slew of Papa Johns franchises, meme makers have linked the purchase to Colorado’s legalization of marijuana — and now Manning has, too. In an interview with MMQB’s Peter King, he said, “There’s some different laws out here in Colorado. Pizza business is pretty good…
If you’re a Denver Broncos fan, then you’ve no doubt endured a broadcast featuring either NBC’s Chris Collinsworth or Phil Simms, who calls games for CBS. Both have earned the enduring hatred of Broncos fans over the years because of what some would say is a clear bias against the…
Last week, as we reported, 104.3 The Fans’ D-Mac and Alfred Williams argued that the alleged rape committed by ex-Bronco Perrish Cox was actually worse than the actions of former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, whose caught-on-video punching of his former fiancee/now-wife turned him into the NFL’s domestic violence…
Talk about high expectations. The Broncos won yesterday’s game against the Chiefs to go 2-0 in the young NFL season, yet the way they did it — eking out a last-minute 24-17 victory after nearly giving up a big lead, just like in last week’s season opener against the Colts…
The scandal over the release of a video showing Baltimore Ravens star Ray Rice brutally punching his ex-fiancee/now-wife continues to build, with the NFL currently scrambling to deal with reports that a league rep received a copy of the clip in April despite claims that no one in the office…
It’s fair to say the post-Super Bowl blowout malaise that afflicted so many Broncos fans earlier this year is over: Prior to Denver’s closer-than-it-should-have-been victory over the Indianapolis Colts, tailgaters at Mile High Stadium were incredibly amped for the new season, as our Eric Gruneisen discovered. Continue to check out…
Denver native Chauncey Billups, who placed very high on our list of the ten best athletes to be born in Colorado, has announced his retirement from the NBA after seventeen years — and the Nuggets, with whom he played during two separate stints, should take advantage of his availability by…
Hope you didn’t wind up in intensive care after the Broncos’ 2014 regular season debut last night. The team looked like world beaters in the first half, running up a 24-0 lead thanks to the heroics of Peyton Manning and Julius Thomas, then nearly gagged the victory away thanks to…
Those of us who live in Colorado tend to think of the Broncos as the NFL team with the best fans. But that’s not how Forbes sees it. The publication’s top ten ranking definitely includes Denver, as well as the Indianapolis Colts, who face our local heroes Sunday night to…

Looks like Broncos receiver Wes Welker will have more time to recover from his latest concussion; he’s been suspended for four games after reportedly testing positive for amphetamines.

At Friday’s Rocky Mountain Showdown, I was decked out in CU attire, since my daughters are students there. And when passing through the Rams’ section of the parking lot, I tended to get one of two reactions. The first was: “Fuck you! Fuck CU!” And the second was “FUCK YOU!…
Broncos kicker Matt Prater is unusual when it comes to NFL players suspended for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Instead of being punished for consuming marijuana or other drugs, he’s going to be riding the pine for downing what his attorney, Harvey Steinberg, describes as “a couple beers at…
The vicious cheap shot Vancouver Canuck Todd Bertuzzi put on Colorado Avalanche rookie Steve Moore back in 2004 wasn’t just one of the most brutal happenings in an NHL game ever. It was also a crime: Bertuzzi eventually pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm and was given a year’s…
A lot’s changed with the USA Pro Challenge bike race since it was announced in August 2010. For one thing, it was initially called the Quiznos Pro Challenge. For another, the two people at center stage for the big unveil were Bill Ritter, who’s no longer Colorado’s governor, and Lance…
