It’s not the kind of news that typically breaks overnight — but longtime Broncos owner Pat Bowlen has always done things his own way. A short time ago, the Broncos released a statement through NFL.com revealing that Bowlen, seventy, is formally giving up control of the team — something that…
If you ever had any doubts about how big a sports fan Peyton Manning is, they were erased at last night’s ESPY awards. PM was named Best NFL Player and honored for Best Record-Setting Performance, and in accepting the latter, he said receiving the bauble from Miami Dolphins legend Dan…
It’s the Major League Baseball All-Star break, and that’s appropriate, because the Colorado Rockies are broken. The team has gone from better than expected to as horrible as usual over the course of the season to date, with owner Dick Monfort making a bad situation infinitely worse by suggesting to…
Like the Denver Broncos football team, which has lost some key players between last season and this one (so long, Champ Bailey), the Broncos cheerleading squad is bidding farewell to eight veterans — and paying tribute on the outfit’s Facebook page. Among those leaving is one member consistently picked among…
The Denver Broncos have just announced the ticket prices for the 2014-2015 season — and while it’s no surprise they’ve gone up, the amount some of them have risen is considerable. If our math is correct (and granted, that’s a big if), the price for a prime field seat will…
Update: Amy Van Dyken, who severed her spine in an ATV accident on Friday (see our previous coverage below), confirms that she’ll be relocating from Arizona to her home state of Colorado in order to rehab at Craig hospital in Denver. In the meantime, she continues to amaze with social…
Last year around this time, as members of the Miami Heat were embroiled in what turned out to be a second consecutive NBA-championship run, we reported that an Internet Crimes Against Children investigation targeting Chris “Birdman” Andersen was still open a full year after authorities had raided his Larkspur home…
Safety T.J. Ward, a high-profile free-agent recently signed by the Broncos, is wanted for misdemeanor assault in relation to a reported May 9 incident at PT’s Showclub, a strip joint. (See correction below.) And for those keeping track at home: No, he hasn’t played a single down for the Broncos…
In anticipation of today’s 2014 NFL draft, we recently posted our choices for the ten worst first-round draft picks in Broncos history. Now, we look at the more positive side of that coin: the team’s top ten first-round selections. We’ve included greats from yesterday and today, including three players on…
For years, the Bolder Boulder, which takes place this year on May 26, has used the slogan “Sea Level is For Sissies.” There’s even a separate tab for “Sea Level Is for Sissies” merchandise on the race’s website. But now, Out Boulder, one of the community’s most prominent LGBTQ advocacy…
This year’s NFL draft takes place on Thursday, with the Broncos selecting in the 31st slot — a tough place to find an impact athlete. We hope John Elway and company beat the odds — or at least make a better choice than the ones on the following list. Here’s…
After the Broncos’ humiliating Super Bowl defeat in February, QB Peyton Manning laid low for a while. But he’s back on the national stage in a big way, thanks in part to retirement-bound pal David Letterman, who devoted a huge chunk of last night’s show to PM and showed his…
On Saturday night, the Colorado Avs went from death’s door to the driver’s seat in their playoff series with the Minnesota Wild, scoring in the last two minutes of the third period to force overtime, with super-teen Nathan McKinnon putting the biscuit in the basket a short time into the…
It’s been a while since the Colorado Avalanche truly captured the imagination of sports fans around our fair state. So, with the Avs up 2-0 against the Minnesota Wild in their first-round playoff series and game three slated for tonight, it’s time for those who haven’t been paying close attention…
For baseball fans, April is one of the sweetest times of the year: It signifies beer and sunshine and hot dogs, renewed hope and the pop of a ball in a leather glove. But for anyone who lives or works or has business in LoDo, baseball season — and especially…
Friday was opening day for the Rockies, which meant LoDo was decked out in purple to celebrate baseball’s return — and the Rockies rewarded fans with a victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Photographer Scott Lentz captured the jubilation of the Rockies’ first home win of 2014 with shots of the…
Even as the national media has tried to establish a tie between marijuana and the rise in applications submitted to Colorado colleges, Chane Behanan, a Louisville basketball star kicked off the squad last year because of drug use, recently transferred to Colorado State University. But before he could take his…
On Sunday, season two of Eric and Jessie: Game On premiered on E!, and although we know how the story of Eric Decker’s free agency ends (the onetime Broncos receiver signed with the New York Jets) , the show picks up while he is still here in Denver, with a…
This past weekend, Mile High Stadium was filled with cheerleaders auditioning for one of the coveted spots on the Broncos’ cheerleading squad. All the applicants had to be at least 21 years of age. There were three rounds of tryouts, with preliminary and semi-final auditions taking place on Sunday. The…
Just as the Broncos are readying for next season by stocking up on free agents, the Broncos cheerleaders are preparing for annual tryouts, in order to determine who’ll be on the sidelines when the action kicks off again. Auditions begin on March 30, but 9 a.m. tomorrow at Sports Authority…
Receiver Eric Decker has reportedly signed a five-year, $36.25 million contract to play for the New York Jets. That means the Broncos will be without his services on the field, and Denver fans will be weaned of off-the-field glamour shots of Decker and wife/country singer Jessie James, generally regarded as…
The Broncos have released cornerback Champ Bailey. It was a move the team had to make: Bailey was hurt most of last year, and when he wasn’t, he was a shadow of his formerly great self — plus, the decision saved the squad $10 million. And yet, there’s no joy…
