John Bowlen, son of Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, has been named in a Colorado arrest warrant following his weekend arrest in California for driving under the influence; see our previous coverage below. In the document, also accessible here, Arapahoe Count Judge Darren Louis Vahle counts five ways in which the younger Bowlen violated his probation for a domestic violence incident involving booze and whippets back in 2015.
On July 28, the Denver Broncos welcomed back fans to UCHealth Training Center in Dove Valley for the first of fifteen open training camp practices. And just the day before, AM 760, an iHeartMedia station, flipped its format to Orange & Blue Radio, which will be “all Broncos, all the time.” But some readers think that already describes Denver.
This morning, July 27, AM 760, an iHeartMedia station that experienced a major shakeup just over three months ago with the departure of former wide receiver turned broadcaster Ed McCaffrey, as described in our previous coverage, on view below, has undergone a format flip. The outlet’s mix of syndicated programming and local sports coverage has been revamped as Orange & Blue Radio, whose sole focus will be the Denver Broncos.
Less than a year after Denver Broncos receiver Cody Latimer was busted following an incident during which he said his girlfriend assaulted him, footage has surfaced of him getting into an altercation with employees at a strip club; Latimer was pepper sprayed and his uncle wound up up flat on his back after getting punched by an employee at the nightspot. Because Latimer wasn’t taken into custody this time around, he won’t add to the list of Broncos arrests since the year 2000, which currently stands at forty; get the details below. But the latest embarrassment definitely calls his future with the squad into doubt.
On July 15, one of Colorado’s more famous (and some might say masochistic) bicycle races is set to take place on the highest paved road in North America. The annual Bob Cook Memorial Mt. Evans Hill Climb sends cyclists 27.4 miles straight uphill from an elevation of 7,500 feet in…
Last night, July 12, former Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning hosted the 25th anniversary of the ESPYs, the signature awards program of sports-network powerhouse ESPN. Over the course of the broadcast, he made multiple comic references to his stint in Denver, even comparing himself to tennis great Serena Williams’s unborn child when talking about his 2015 Super Bowl victory.
As the climber pulled himself onto a rock shelf nearly 250 feet above the base of Eldorado Canyon, he would have looked as small as a speck to anyone below looking skyward at the imposing Bastille, a 350-foot natural formation named after the famed medieval French fortress. The climber, a…
ESPN’s Tony Korhneiser has branded the Colorado Rockies as a “fraud” even though the team is presently holding down first place in the National League West, due in part to the way the team choked in the World Series ten years ago. It’s an indication that the national media doesn’t believe in the squad, which has a history of hot starts and lousy finishes, despite indications that things may be different this year.
After Sports Authority went bankrupt, the Denver Broncos were officially granted naming rights to Mile High Stadium…which means the team can sell them again, and will probably do so soon, before the next season starts. But fans already know what they want the place to be called.
Over Memorial Day weekend police issued 17 citations to peddlers at Coors Field for allegedly violating city regulations.
Longtime Denver Post sports sportswriter Terry Frei has been disappeared from the paper following a tweet in which he announced that he was “very uncomfortable with a Japanese driver winning the Indianapolis 500 during Memorial Day weekend.” But while Frei’s ouster is embarrassing, the incident could also prove beneficial to the Post’s bottom line during a time of financial stress epitomized by its decision to move its newsroom out of Denver.
Tommy Caldwell, one of the world’s best rock climbers and a native of Estes Park, became a media sensation in January 2015 when he, along with climbing partner Kevin Jorgeson, became the first to complete a free climb of the Dawn Wall route on El Capitan in Yosemite. Caldwell had…
As the end of ski season creeps closer (though kept alive momentarily by recent storms), Arapahoe Basin is preparing to retire its colorful and dedicated gang of ski patrol volunteers. The volunteer ski patrol unit has been around since the ’40s and is an integral part of A-Basin’s culture. For Alan…
The Denver Broncos’ selection of Utah tackle Garett Bolles with the twentieth pick in last night’s NFL Draft is the squad’s riskiest first-round choice since Tim Tebow in 2010. Like Tebow, Bolles is getting great reviews as a person. But the notices are much more scattered when it comes to his skills as a player, especially one who’ll be able to contribute right away.
The deal is probably a boost for the prospects of the Colorado properties involved, particularly Winter Park.
Today, April 7, is the home opener for the Colorado Rockies, which means that downtown — and Coors Field — will be flooded with fans hungry for peanuts, Cracker Jacks, and a season that goes down a little more smoothly than those in the recent past. Right now, only the venue for the Rockies is really a sure thing, as the team just signed a deal to stay at the facility on Blake. Everything else is an open question. Will the pitching staff step up? Will the infield gel in the same way it did back in 2007? Will Bud Black lead the team down a better road? All excellent questions — that even Rockies players themselves might have.
ESPN is reporting that longtime Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, whom the Denver Broncos have been rumored to covet for months, has decided to retire from football after thirteen years in the NFL in order to pursue a broadcasting career.
Today, basketball fans across the country are gearing up for the start of the annual NCAA basketball tournament popularly known as March Madness. But according to a new survey, Mile High hoops fans are at an enormous disadvantage when it comes to experiencing and enjoying this annual sports ritual. According to the WalletHub report, Denver is the fourth worst large city for March Madness and ranks at 276 out of 291 total communities analyzed, barely ahead of Kennesaw, Georgia, Poughkeepsie, New York and Colorado Springs, which finished at 280.
Beneath the gorgeous and glamorous public image of Gabriella and Emmanuel Sanders roiled a marriage in deep trouble. This past October, Gabriella filed for divorce, and now, in court documents obtained by TMZ, she accuses Emmanuel of cheating on her multiple times, spending big on his conquests and lying to the Broncos about attending the birth of his child so that he could party instead of practice.
Sure, Tom Brady just won his fifth Super Bowl with the New England Patriots. But even though he’s now retired and can claim a mere two NFL titles, former Denver Broncos superstar Peyton Manning is still winning 2017 thanks to his starring role in a slew of hilarious commercials, including one delivered during last night’s edition of the hit ABC sitcom Modern Family for gazebos and sheds.
Yesterday, we shared disturbing new details about past sexual assault accusations made against new Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph, including an assertion by a woman who told police in 2004 that Joseph, then an assistant coach at the University of Colorado Boulder, had disrobed, climbed into her bed uninvited and pressed his erect penis against her. Our piece noted that Joseph had not yet publicly addressed the allegations, adding, “It will be interesting to see how much longer he’ll be able to remain silent.” Turns out Joseph’s silence on the topic lasted less than 24 hours longer. But rather than holding a press conference or speaking on video, Joseph chose an interview with the Denver Post’s Nicki Jhabvala. The result was a clever bit of spin control, albeit one that hardly lays the story to rest permanently.
In our coverage earlier this week of revelations about past sexual assault allegations against new Broncos coach Vance Joseph, which were originally made public as part of the investigation into the CU recruiting scandal, we noted that the team would apparently try to “ride out” the negative publicity that might result from the incident, which dated back to the period when Joseph served as an assistant coach for the Buffs.
