As Kyle Garratt noted in a post yesterday, the Colorado Rockies stunk up Coors Field on Father’s Day. But the 9-1 defeat to the Detroit Tigers wasn’t the only disappointment for dads. Prior to the game, Rockies personnel gave out excellent Troy Tulowitzki jerseys, but not to fathers, much to…
After his career debut at Coors Field, Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander told MLB.com that early in the game, “my fastball control wasn’t anywhere near where it should be” and described his breaking ball as “okay.” Yet his skills were enough to toss a complete game against the Rockies while…
Two guys meet up in a bar and exchange a few words. Nobody gets hurt. No reason to make a federal case out of it. Unless, of course, the two guys are Lance Armstrong and Tyler Hamilton. Then the FBI, the AFLD and even TMZ want to know exactly who…
A group of homeless men mulled playing another inning of softball this morning at Sonny Lawson Park. One man gestured to his nonexistent watch. Another joked, “My accountant can wait.” So the game went on, thanks to the Homeless Diamond program created and sponsored by local real estate broker Joe…
A friend of mine used to sell T-shirts in college. He was putting himself through school, along with a few scholarships, and he needed every dollar he could get. So he’d come up with a creative design idea, get a small loan from his mom and have the T-shirts printed…
Last summer, some observers were still optimistic that Carmelo Anthony might remain a Denver Nugget. But their confidence was shaken when he put his Polo Ridge Estates mansion on the market for $9.5 million. A year later, the spread has finally sold for $6.2 million — more than $3 million…
When Broncos legend Floyd Little was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last year, his relationship with his past team seemed blissful. But now, a lawsuit on view below reveals that Little and a slew of other past Broncos, including notables like Louie Wright and Randy Gradishar, have…
The Colorado Rockies were baseball’s worst team in May — and it’s got the worst ticket agents in baseball, according to a study conducted by IntelliShop, a company that sends anonymous consumers into businesses to grade employees. Professional shoppers made calls to the Rockies’ season ticket office and the staff…
With the NFL lockout dragging on, Tim Tebow seems to be running for starting quarterback as surely as a candidate runs for office. And last night, during an appearance on The Daily Show to tout his new book, Through My Eyes, he took another step toward winning fans’ hearts and…
Tim Tebow’s book Through My Eyes is filled with stories about faith, football, faith, family and faith, in that order — and he’s promoting it with the same kind of pumped-up enthusiasm that marks his play. He’s already appeared on an extended segment of Sean Hannity’s Fox News program: see…
For most Coloradans, the term “spring runoff” has nothing to do with Denver mayoral candidates Michael Hancock and Chris Romer and everything to do with the whitewater competition between tubers and kayakers. The fiercest fight for foam is often found at the Clear Creek Whitewater Park in Golden…..
Shanahan was fired, McDaniels was forgotten, and now it’s up to new head coach John Fox to bring home a Super Bowl title… or is it? With so many changing faces in the Denver franchise as of late, there’s only one that fans seem to be rallying behind: Tim Tebow…
Congratulations to the Colorado Rockies. Last night’s excessively exasperating 7-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers assured the Rockies of baseball’s worst record in May. For the month, they sit at 8-20…
TMZ’s item about J.R. Smith’s arrest in Miami over the weekend for driving a scooter without a license is punctuated with this exclamation: “THUG LIFE!!!!” Yes, the bust’s minor. But is it also a reminder to the Nuggets that inking J.R. long-term means living with this kind of stuff and…
John Elway’s got a lot on his plate right now, what with the Denver Broncos coming off their worst season in ages and an NFL lockout preventing his new coach, John Fox, from being able to work with players new and old. But somehow, he’s found time to inform members…
Kyle Orton continues to be a hot topic in this very strange NFL offseason — and getting hotter. With reported interest from the Miami Dolphins and the Minnesota Vikings, sources suggest that the Broncos now want more value for KO before shipping him to another franchise…
Kyle Orton may be a dead quarterback walking in the view of many Broncos backers, but he’s become one the NFL’s most sought-after trade targets. Miami fans want him, and now, multiple reports suggest the Vikings might be interested in him, too. But will Minnesota give up enough to convince…
It’s been two weeks since the Discover Colorado Rally — plenty of time for all Colorado summer vacation planners to have studied up for today’s pop quiz. Provide the name and attraction associated with each of the mascots pictured below…..
Plenty of people have accused bike icon Lance Armstrong of doping, including Tour De Lance author Bill Strickland. But finger-pointing by Boulder-based Tyler Hamilton, Armstrong’s onetime teammate on the U.S. Postal Service Team, has had the greatest impact by far, in part because of the platform he used: 60 Minutes,…
Many Denver fans and observers feel Kyle Orton is out as Broncos quarterback even though John Elway and the team’s braintrust won’t admit it. But if he’s not wanted here, there’s another place where he’d be a very welcome presence: Miami…
If the Rockies start hitting like a real Rockies team and play like so many expected them to, last night’s win over the Giants will be viewed as a turning point. If the Rockies continue to roll out a lineup full of players hitting in the .200s, the victory will…
With the Denver Nuggets’ playoff run done, the Nuggets Dancers are gearing up for next season with a series of classes to ready prospective new members for the rigorous audition process. To get you in the mindset for the next get-together, a nutrition and work-out session at 7 p.m. tomorrow,…
