Saturday night brought Broncos football back to Mile High Stadium, with the men in orange chalking up a victory over the St. Louis Rams! (Yeah, we know the game didn’t count, but don’t begrudge us that exclamation point…or this one!) Photographer Brandon Marshall, he of the Broncos-friendly name, was on…
The Colorado Rockies may have lost to the San Diego Padres 7-5 last night. But one fan who attended the game definitely left feeling like a winner, even if he got a little wet in the process. The Rockies’ Dexter Fowler hit a foul ball, and the damn thing landed…
The Broncos won their preseason opener against the mighty San Francisco 49ers last night, 10-6. The game doesn’t count — but even so, the “W” should only heighten the enthusiasm of Broncos fans hoping for a Super Bowl season. The excitement is certainly clear over at Etsy, one of our…
Tonight, the Denver Broncos take on the San Francisco 49ers in the first game of the season. Okay, it’s a pre-season game, so it doesn’t really count. But given another disappointing Colorado Rockies season, not to mention the way the last Broncos campaign, we’re still grateful — and so are…
Just about a year ago, Colorado’s own Missy Franklin was capturing the sporting world’s imagination (and Justin Bieber’s attention) via an astonishing performance at the 2012 Olympics. And she hasn’t exactly lost her touch since then. Far from it: In London, Franklin brought home four golds and one bronze medal…
The USA Pro Challenge is returning to Colorado, with bicycles, and the athletes on them, ruling a significant portion of the state’s roadways from August 19-25. What will that mean for motorists who may be more interested in getting from point A to point B than in watching the contest?…
A search for a man feared drowned in Bartlett Lake, not far from Phoenix, was covered by local news stations, but didn’t immediately hit the national radar. At least not until his identity was revealed. The victim was Frank Castillo, a Major League Baseball pitcher for a number of teams,…
Beware what you blast on Twitter: It could come back to haunt you. Case in point: Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers casually bet Denver nurse Todd Sutton a year’s salary that his pal, Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun, never used performance-enhancing drugs — which Braun has just admitted to…
Peyton Manning and Missy Franklin are hoping to make a big hit and a big splash tonight on the annual ESPY Awards, hosted by ESPN. Both Colorado athletes are up for two different awards, and ESPN is letting fans vote on who should win until 7 p.m. (MST) tonight –…
Denver Broncos training camp — which is still free, and one of the best things that the team does for its fans — gets under way at Dove Valley on Thursday, July 25, with the first of sixteen practices that will be open to the public. And the players and…
Rocky, the Denver Nuggets mountain lion mascot, has put together quite a career over the 22 years that he has been thrilling basketball fans — sometimes providing their only thrill during the particularly lean years. Over that time, the supremely athletic gymnast has perfected his routine — from flirting with…
Kenneth Faried, the 2013 Best of Denver winner as Best Nugget, is getting even more exposure from another publication — ESPN The Magazine, which chose him as one of eight cover models for its annual “Body Issue,” in which ripped athletes pose nude in order to make the rest of…
Back in April, we shared the first team photo of the Denver Broncos 2013-2014 cheerleading team, plus goodbye messages from those leaving the squad. Now, however, we’ve got newly shared solo photos of each person on the 26-strong crew courtesy of the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders Facebook page. Meet the members,…
Given that we’re in a quiet period for NFL news, the DUI arrests for two Broncos executives — director of player personnel Matt Russell and director of pro personnel Tom Heckert — quickly became the league’s biggest story on ESPN and other sports outlets. Not that such incidents are highly…
The Denver Broncos sold out most of their remaining single-game tickets this week in an annual summertime tradition, but fans who head to Sports Authority Field may be in for a few rude surprises at the gate (and we’re not talking about Raiders fans). The team adopted a new security…
Just over a week ago, Broncos receiver Eric Decker and singer Jessie James, the consensus pick for the most gorgeous couple in Denver, tied the knot. And as you’d expect from a pair who will soon have their own reality-TV show on E!, they’ve both been Facebooking, Instagramming and tweeting…
The NBA season is over, with Chris “Birdman” Andersen winning a championship ring (and earning a tattoo-free bobblehead). But the Nuggets Dancers are already looking toward the next tip-off. A couple months after the Denver Broncos cheerleader tryouts, the squad gave high-spirited hopefuls a chance to earn a spot on…
Last night, the Miami Heat won game seven of the NBA finals. That means former Nugget Chris “Birdman” Andersen earned himself a championship ring — a remarkable turnaround for a man still under investigation a year after Internet Crimes Against Children personnel searched his Larkspur home — and a commemorative…
The National Football League term OTAs stands for “organized team activities” — and they’re supposed to be voluntary. Still, starting Broncos running back Willis McGahee’s decision to skip out on them earlier this year set tongues wagging about the prospect of him being punished for doing so. Lo and behold,…
Couldn’t resist sharing the way the Boston Herald’s page-one reaction to the New England Patriots signing Tim Tebow — with a photo of the Chosen One Tebowing in a Broncos uniform, accompanied by the headline, “GOOD GOD!” Whether Tebow will be as good is a totally different question — but…
After former Broncos quarterback/controversy lightning rod quarterback Tim Tebow was cut by the Jets in April, some pundits speculated that he would never catch on with another team. Wrong: Yesterday, word broke that he’ll sign with the New England Patriots, whose offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels, drafted him in Denver (en…
In late April, onetime toast of Denver Tim Tebow found himself sans employment after being cut by the New York Jets — and since then, no other NFL team has given him a sniff. Fortunately, though, he’s got a career alternative: Controversial talk-show host Glenn Beck, who feels Tebow’s faith…
