While Tim Tebow’s Miami miracle resulted in an 18-15 Broncos victory, he paid by being sacked a league high seven times. This achievement earned him respect for his toughness, but also something more — a week’s supply of NuVo condoms to improve his “protection.” Although if The Chosen One is…
Just in case you went on a two-day heroin bender starting early Sunday or you were busy occupying stuff for the past several days, Tim Tebow really screwed up the Broncos’ chance of drafting Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck after the season. He led two touchdown drives with less than three…
This morning on ESPN Radio, NFL analyst John Clayton said both Tebow lovers and Tebow haters got what they wanted from the Broncos’ hilarious 18-15 win versus the Dolphins yesterday. But frankly, Tebow lovers got more — including a mighty strong argument that God not only exists, but He has…
Yesterday’s NFL trade deadline came and went, and while there were plenty of rumors that Kyle Orton would be on the move, he’s still here the morning after — and so are most of the other players rumored to be going bye-bye. The only departers are receivers Brandon Lloyd and…
As the economy is tanking, how does one generate millions of dollars in revenue? Apparently, put on a free bike race. According to a study by IFM, a global sports marketing firm, the inaugural USA Pro Cycling Challenge, held throughout Colorado August 22-28 and won by Levi Leipheimer, generated $83.5…
Update below: We spent the summer expecting Kyle Orton to be traded to Miami. It didn’t happen — but now that he’s been benched in favor of Tim Tebow, there are new rumors that KO may be headed to the dreaded Raiders. Could it happen by today’s 4 p.m. Eastern…
How to take the Tim Tebow hype to the next level? Call in a professional. That’s what SportsNation’s Colin Cowherd and Michelle Beadle did when they turned to Hulk Hogan, who went into one of his trademark rants before ripping a Tebow jersey to shreds. If the media overload is…
Fans of radio sports talk host Jim Rome got the scoop on the upcoming Die Hard movie Wednesday when Fox Filmed Entertainment CEO Tom Rothman dished about the film’s title (A Good Day to Die Hard) as well as the future of hero John McClane, played by Bruce Willis, and…
The entire football world is abuzz about Tim Tebow being named the Broncos’ starting quarterback. Indeed, yesterday’s edition of NFL 32 on ESPN focused on little else — and while the hype delights some people, it’s triggering the gag reflex in plenty of others. Check out the variety of reactions…
In our post about Sunday’s Broncos-San Diego game, we stated in our headline that Tim Tebow was now Denver’s starting quarterback, despite Coach John Fox’s initial unwillingness to make such a statement. And while Fox still hasn’t confirmed the move at this writing, ESPN is reporting that he’ll do so…
Kenyon Martin didn’t receive a contract extension offer from the Denver Nuggets, prompting him to sign to a Chinese squad amid the ongoing NBA lockout. Which means no one from the Nugs must force K-Mart to offer a heartfelt apology for a Twitter tirade yesterday in which he hoped for…
After the Green Bay Packers topped the Broncos last week, we predicted that if the team fell to the San Diego Chargers, no token Tim Tebow package would satisfy fans calling for a QB change. But in the second half of what turned out to be a 29-24 loss, Tebow…
Even now, 62 years old in the church that is his second home, Reverend Larron Jackson can split his life easily into three separate metaphors. Those words, in turn, found their way into the title of his recent autobiography, The Ghetto, the Gridiron and the Gospel, a painfully honest if…
Yesterday’s 49-23 Broncos loss to the Packers wasn’t the first time Denver inspired chants of “TEEE-BOW!” on the road, but it may have been the most telling. At this point, the Broncos are so uninteresting, so unlikely to inspire the passions of longtime rooters and haters alike, that fans of…
Examining the Rockies’ season is a lot like an autopsy. Something has gone horribly wrong and now it’s time to figure out why. At the beginning of the season the Rockies had very legitimate aspirations of winning their first National League West division title, if not more. The Rockies finished…
If you’ve been wondering when you’d see the sort of Denver Broncos team new coach John Fox would like to field week in and week out, you got your answer yesterday. The Broncos played the Fox way versus the Tennessee Titans, but still came up on the bottom of a…
Update: Earlier this week, we reported about how T-shirts featuring a buffalo mounting a ram and the slogan “Ram This” were confiscated at Saturday’s CU-CSU Rocky Mountain Showdown. We’ve now heard from the facility’s general manager, and he admits that the shirt seizures were against stadium policy and never should…
Several NFL teams don’t even list a third-string quarterback on their depth charts. The Broncos, however, have the most and least popular third-stringer in the history of the league. Over the weekend, ESPN aired a piece on Outside the Lines discussing why Tim Tebow is so discussed…
The CU Buffs’ 28-14 victory over the CSU Rams during Saturday’s Rocky Mountain Showdown didn’t feature the kind of bad fan behavior (including a 1999 riot) that’s marred past contests. But did stadium staffers go too far trying to prevent trouble by confiscating T-shirts featuring the slogan “Ram This” and…
CBS4 has been touting the Broncos’ 24-22 win over the Cincinnati Bengals yesterday by noting that the team is tied for first place in the AFC West — which is technically true but does nothing to put the game into a larger context. Because while Denver deserves credit for prevailing,…
As if losing to the Oakland Raiders at home on the first Monday Night Football nightcap of the year wasn’t enough humiliation, the Denver Broncos are a laughingstock again today in the sports world because of a plan by a group of “fans” to buy two billboards in town insisting…
Sports Authority Field at Mile High is certainly a more appropriate name for Denver’s football stadium now that Invesco has become an obscure financial firm that nearly collapsed during the recession. Sports Authority, after all, is based in Colorado and was born from the stalwart Gart Brothers company. But Sports…
