How did local Ravens and 49ers fans spend Super Bowl Sunday? Plenty of them headed to bars catering to their respective teams: Chopper’s Sports Grill for Baltimore boosters, the Icehouse Tavern for San Francisco faithful. Photog Brandon Marshall stopped by both places to sample the agony and the ecstasy (more…
Watching Ray Lewis acting like the king of the world after playing a thoroughly ordinary game, and seeing Joe Fluke-o named MVP after the Baltimore Ravens’ Super Bowl victory yesterday was enough to make me nearly throw up my seven-layer dip. Fortunately, Las Vegas sports books give our Denver Broncos…
Yesterday’s death of snowmobiler Caleb Moore as the result of a crash at the X-Games in Aspen has led to grief on the part of his family and friends, as well as debate about his sport of choice. Among the most prominent critics of the event: Tony Kornheiser of ESPN,…
Update: Shortly after the publication of a post about the terrible injuries suffered by snowmobiler Caleb Moore at the X-Games in Aspen, we received word that he died earlier this morning. ESPN has already released a statement expressing condolences to the family for what is the first death in the…
Last night, the starters for the NBA All-Star Game were announced, and no Nuggets made the cut — and while Kenneth Faried could still be named as a reserve next week, he’s a long shot. Fortunately, though, Denver will still be represented…by Rocky, one of just four team mascots to…
Hard to believe that just over two years ago, Lance Armstrong was appearing at the State Capitol with then-Governor Bill Ritter to announce the launch of what is now known as the USA Pro Challenge. His association with the race is long over, and so is his credibility following last…
Before Saturday’s Broncos-Ravens playoff game, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock made a friendly wager with Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. If Denver won, Rawlings-Blake promised to send a platter of broiled crab cakes. If Baltimore won, Hancock agreed to mail a box of dry-aged “cowboy cut” ribeye steaks. And do the Ray…
The Broncos’ loss to the Ravens on Saturday was agonizing, and not just because we (like pretty much everyone else) inaccurately predicted an easy Denver win. But let’s put things in perspective, shall we? In our opinion, there have been five Broncos playoff defeats that were even worse. Make yourself…
After the Broncos’ shocking and humiliating loss to the Ravens in Saturday’s AFC playoff game, plenty of Baltimore fans and Peyton Manning haters expressed their glee on social media. But arguably the most improbable celebrant was Denver-based preacher Peter Tebow, whose brother Tim led the Broncos to a post-season win…
As the Broncos and the Ravens gear up to face off this Saturday, trying to extend their seasons at least one more game, one illustrious player faces what is possibly the final game of his career. After this season’s playoffs, Ray Lewis says he’ll put down the pads for good…
We’ve already gone on record with our fearless prediction of a Broncos win over the Baltimore Ravens in tomorrow’s playoff game — and the folks at Denver Broncos Memes are just as confident. Check out a gallery of our favorites below. It’s a great way to celebrate what’s been officially…
We love us some Kenneth Faried, who regularly doubles the energy and effort of any other player on the floor. And even he’s amazed by the numbers he’s racking up. When told in a live post-game Altitude interview broadcast over the Pepsi Center speakers that he registered nineteen points and…
Update below: Remember that golden moment from a November 2011 Denver-San Diego game when Chargers kicker Nick Novak was seen pissing on live TV? Apparently, the Broncos wanted a similar splash of magic going into their Saturday playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens. That’s our conclusion after seeing a team-produced…
The basketball world continues its fascination with the Nuggets’ JaVale McGee, and no wonder: In just the last week, he made his first and only three point shot of the year and transformed Pau Gasol’s nose into Mount Vesuvius. But is he really as dumb as he seems? Or is…
While homegrown Olympic heroine Missy Franklin won lotsa hardware in London, she may have landed her biggest prize last night, when she finally got to meet Justin Bieber, who killed her with a tweet last July. And even though he looks sorta stoned in their photo backstage at his sold-out…
Now we know who the Broncos will face in their 2013 playoffs debut: the Baltimore Ravens, by dint of the squad’s 24-9 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. So…will the emotion from Ray Lewis’s final home game (depicted in videos included in a big collection of clips below) help…
Devoted Broncos fans probably remember the greatest among their ranks, Tim “Barrel Man” McKernan, as the guy who wore nothing but a barrel with overalls to pretty much every home game — rain or shine — from 1977 to 2007 (though he attended, fully-clothed, nearly every game ten years beyond…
So the boys in Vegas now have Your Denver Broncos as 3-1 favorites to win Super Bowl XLVII, ahead of annoying New England (7-2), the hot-hot Seahawks (6-1), and the snowball-chance-in-hell Vikings (100-1). Win ten games in a row, and even the smart money starts to take you seriously. But…
Attention, everybody. It is flu season. Know how we can tell? Because during last night’s game against the San Antonio Spurs, Nugget Kenneth Faried — the Manimal, if you will — puked into a towel while sitting on the bench. But that didn’t stop the dude from scoring nineteen points…
Sunday’s Broncos-Ravens match-up looked to be the most difficult on Denver’s second-half-of-the-season schedule — a road game against a division-leading team whose quarterback, Joe Flacco, continues to chirp about how he and his squad are among the NFL’s elite. They sure as hell didn’t look like it during a 34-17…
Well, we’ve had a couple of days to absorb the naming of Mike MacIntyre, formerly with San Jose State, as the CU Buffs’ head football coach. But frankly, we still have no idea whether the move has a reasonable chance of success — and neither does anyone else. After all,…
Update: Yesterday, we reported that Cincinnati coach Butch Jones had turned down the CU Buffs football coach job, despite the Denver Post reporting that he’d accepted it the day before; see our previous coverage below. Now, we know more about what led the Post to ballyhoo this erroneous information –…
