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…
Once upon a time, the Broncos-Raiders rivalry was one of the NFL’s best — but no longer. Even after losing in humiliating fashion to the Patriots last week, Peyton Manning and company took a while to get focused on Oakland and wound up trailing 10-6 during the middle of the…
We had been hoping that this morning we’d have evidence to contradict the assumption that Broncos QB Peyton Manning plays badly in cold weather and struggles against Tom Brady and the Patriots in New England. But no: Denver laid an egg big-time yesterday afternoon, losing to the Pats 43-21 in…
This past January, we shared our first collection of Tom Brady hate memes just before the Broncos met the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, which Denver won. This Sunday in New England, the Brady-Peyton Manning rivalry will be renewed again — and lo and behold, we found a brand…
One of the most enjoyable things about the Broncos’ 35-21 win over the Chargers last night (and there were many of them) was the sight of San Diego QB Philip Rivers’s frequent temper tantrums. Ranting, complaining, yelling into his own helmet: He put on quite a show in defeat, and…
Plenty of Colorado sports fans know ESPN’s Skip Bayless as an idiot if only for his advocacy of Tim Tebow as an NFL quarterback even when he wasn’t guiding the Broncos to still-inexplicable victories. But Bayless took his usual meatheadedness to heretofore unforeseen levels when he recently suggested during an…
On Sunday, the Broncos’ Peyton Manning set the all-time NFL record for most touchdown passes in a career — news so big that even TV stations like KOMO in Seattle, whose Seahawks clobbered the Broncos in the Super Bowl earlier this year, had to cover it. Problem is, KOMO swapped…
Florida State University and its head coach, Jimbo Fisher, have been criticized in many quarters for overlooking off-the-field misdeeds by its Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, Jameis Winston, in a bid to win another national championship. But over the weekend, when FSU bested Notre Dame in one of the most watched college…
It was just last week when the Broncos’ narrow win over the woeful Jets convinced a considerable portion of Twitter Nation that Denver was overrated. No more: Last night’s superlative 42-17 crushing of the excellent San Francisco 49ers not only saw Peyton Manning setting the all-time touchdown pass mark, but…
With all the problems afflicting the NFL right now, one of the least important involves coarse language among players on the field — including the term “nigga,” usually sanitized as the N-word. Yet the league continues to punish players for the word’s use — including, presumably, Terrance “Pot Roast” Knighton,…
As we know, expectations color perceptions, particularly in sports. Hence, the highly varied reactions to the Broncos’ 31-17 win yesterday over the New York Jets, a woeful team Denver’s top rival, the San Diego Chargers, blew out the previous week. Is the glass half-empty or half-full for Peyton Manning and…
With so much attention on the Broncos, you may have missed the start of the Denver Nuggets preseason. The team matches up tonight against the Phoenix Suns — and that means the Denver Nuggets Dancers are back in action as well. Meet the sixteen-person squad below, complete with photos and…
The Colorado Rockies are a bad joke of a Major League Baseball franchise, yet owner Dick Monfort has been extremely slow to make changes — maybe because of all the money he’s raking in from the new Coors Field party deck. But this morning brings news that general manager Dan…
Update below: The Colorado Avalanche season is gearing up after a resurgence under coach Patrick Roy — but Adrian Dater, who covers the beat for the Denver Post, won’t be doing so until later this month. He’s been suspended for two weeks without pay for sending a tweet that included…
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…
