Earlier this month, we told you about how local strip club employees banded together to raise awareness about sex trafficking in advance of the Broncos-Chargers playoffs game in Denver.

The City of Denver is celebrating the Broncos’ trip to the Super Bowl in plenty of unusual ways — like Governor John Hickenlooper temporarily renaming Colorado’s 14ers for Denver players. And tourism agency VISIT DENVER is no exception. The staff has come up with a list of things to do…
While tourist agencies in Denver and Seattle have gone out of their way to highlight things the communities have in common (other than legal pot, that is), this Sunday’s Super Bowl featuring the Broncos and Seahawks has still managed to ramp up competition between the cities. But which is better?…

For a small market located in a flyover state, Denver and its football fans have made a big name for themselves since the Denver Broncos team was born in 1960. From the fans who stormed the field on New Year’s Day in 1978 to tear down the goal posts after…
Vail’s Lindsay Vonn announced that a knee injury would prevent her competing in the upcoming 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. But Coloradans will still have plenty of rooting interest.

In the run-up to Sunday’s Super Bowl, we’ve posted about some of the friction caused by the match-up between the Broncos and the Seahawks, including the firing of a Tacoma teen after he wore a Demaryius Thomas jersey to work and a Washington senator’s rude tweet about the Barrel Man…
For years, the National Football League has tried to build an audience for American-style professional pigskin to other countries — but a weird incident yesterday suggests there’s still quite a ways to go.

While there’s a lot in common between Denver and Seattle other than legal pot, tension remains between the cities owing to the Broncos-Seahawks match-up in Sunday’s Super Bowl. Witness the recent firing of a Washington teen after he wore a Demaryius Thomas jersey to work. Latest person to go too…
When people saw Seahawks star Richard Sherman’s crazed rant after Seattle’s victory over the 49ers on January 19, many probably wondered, “What is he on?” Turns out Sherman has been accused of using performance-enhancing drugs, but his suspension was nixed on appeal. Plenty of his teammates haven’t been as lucky,…

Bud Light’s twisted Super Bowl spots, featuring ex-Cali guv Arnold Schwarzenegger as a headband-wearing ping-pong player midway between Björn Borg and Chris Evert, don’t appear to have a Colorado connection beyond the participation of onetime Denverite Don Cheadle, who co-stars with…a llama; see teaser clips below. But there are actually…
Ellen Degeneres wants the Broncos to win the Super Bowl — but not because she’s got a soft spot for Peyton Manning. Rather, she’s rooting for Denver offensive lineman Zane Beadles, who’s always wanted to dance with her. He got the chance during an appearance on her show yesterday that…
Denver’s big win over the Patriots on hasn’t convinced doubters of the Broncos or Peyton Manning that the team will triumph in this year’s Super Bowl, as shown by what’s literally a hater video, since it was posted by someone who goes by the name Seth Hater. In the animated…
The Super Bowl match-up between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks pairs teams from states that both allow sales of recreational marijuana.

Shocking but true: The folks at Comedy Central’s The Daily Show and The Colbert Report noticed that the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks, who’ll face off in this year’s Super Bowl, are from the two states that have legalized recreational marijuana sales.

Denver’s victory over the Patriots on Sunday stamped the squad’s ticket for the Super Bowl, where the Broncos will face off against the Seattle Seahawks and cornerback Richard Sherman, whose loony post-game rants about his greatness, as well as previous comments that Peyton Manning throws “ducks,” has made him Public…
This morning’s Denver Post had just one word for Peyton Manning’s peerless performance in Sunday’s AFC championship victory over the New England Patriots: SUPERB! Actually, the paper’s worshipful scribes had lots of words about the game and the Broncos QB, but SUPERB! just about summed it up. It’s a slightly…

Broncos receiver Eric Decker does a lot more than almost run back punt returns for touchdowns before falling down, as he did last week in a playoff game against San Diego. He and his wife, country singer Jessie James, have turned themselves into a virtual brand via oodles of photos…
