Earlier this week, after we published a gallery of Tom Brady hate memes, a number of our readers called us out, arguing that “hate” shouldn’t have been used in this context. (We didn’t really hear similar complaints over a collection of Philip Rivers hate memes, but we digress.) And so,…
Last week, we told you about local strip club employees banding together to fight sex trafficking in anticipation of a spike in forced prostitution related to the Broncos-Chargers game on January 12. Their plan was to hand out trading cards made especially for the playoff game, stamped with the message…
Back in October, the Denver Post laid off several people, but quite a few others are leaving voluntarily, with the sports department, a key to the paper’s pageview prowess, being especially hard hit. Three Broncos reporters have left in a span of just over a year, including Joan Niesen, who…
In the week leading to the Broncos’ playoff game against the San Diego Chargers, we had a lot of fun hating on QB Philip Rivers and his supposed bolo-tie mojo. And to make things even better, Denver won! With that in mind, we focus our good-natured ire at the Broncos’…
Broncos fans may have unleashed plenty of Philip Rivers hate tweets after Denver bested San Diego in yesterday’s playoffs match-up — but as far as we know, none of them resorted to violence against Bolts lovers. A similar claim can’t be made by members of Chargers Nation. After the game,…
What made yesterday’s 24-17 Broncos win over the Chargers even more satisfying for Denver fans was the opportunity to see QB Philip Rivers, the man we love to hate, laid low after a week of hype about San Diego supposedly being a team of destiny thanks to Rivers’s bolo-tie mojo…
Major sporting events attract big money and big crowds. But Michael Ocello, who owns several Denver strip clubs and co-founded Club Operators Against Sex Trafficking, says they also attract a specific type of crime: men and women, girls and boys who are brought to Denver and forced to work as…
Chargers QB Philip Rivers, who Broncos fans love to hate, will bring his many ridiculous expressions to Denver on Sunday for a playoff match-up against the Broncos. No doubt he’ll be wearing a bolo tie of the sort that San Diego boosters see as a good-luck charm — hence their…
Outside of January, when the National Western Stock Show is in town, you don’t see a lot of bolo ties in Colorado anymore, even though they’re as much a part of Western garb as cowboy boots. “Bolo ties are not a high-volume seller,” says Rockmount Ranch Wear owner Steve Weil,…
As those of you who’ve seen our top twenty Phillip Rivers hate memes post can guess. we root for the San Diego Chargers QB to lose every week. But we’ve got even more motivation now, with Rivers and the Chargers facing the Broncos in a huge Sunday playoff game mere…
In the headline of a November post, we asked a simple question: Could Lindsey Vonn’s latest injury keep her out of the 2014 Olympics? The answer, posted moments ago on Vonn’s Facebook page, is yes. Look below for Vail-based Vonn’s complete statement, followed by our earlier coverage of the knee…
This was the year that Lance Armstrong admitted to doing what most people has already assumed he’d been doing for years: cheating. And in October, the former seven-time Tour de France winner (now stripped of those titles) also became the subject of a documentary, The Armstrong Lie, that is already…
The timing of Sports Illustrated’s announcement of Peyton Manning as the venerable mag’s Sportsman of the Year isn’t great. After all, the Broncos’ most recent game was a crushing home defeat at the hands of the San Diego Chargers on Thursday night. But there’s no doubt that Manning is deserving…
Last week, we shared an excerpt from Ron Burgundy’s grilling of Peyton Manning. Now, just in time for the Broncos’ Thursday night matchup with the Chargers, we bring you the extended cut, in which Burgundy/Will Ferrell, in Anchorman 2 hype overload, gets Manning to confess that he yells random words…
Prior to yesterday’s ultra-frigid Broncos game against the Titans, the story line was simple: Peyton Manning plays lousy in the cold. Well, check that. Manning threw for 397 yards and four TDs in a 51-28 romp, and in an interview with KOA after the game, he told the author of…
Why are the 2013 Denver Broncos so good? Daniel Salazar, a filmmaker and photog who’s worked with El Centro Su Teatro, among other institutions, has a theory: They’re actually space aliens! There’s plenty of tongue-in-cheek evidence throughout Salazar’s new video — and we’ve got to admit that quarterback Peyton Manning…
During Peyton Manning’s second season as a Denver Bronco, we’ve overheard quite a few conversations between guys that go something like this: “I’m not gay, but if I was, I’d really go for Peyton Manning.” Why have so many straight dudes in these parts developed a Manning crush — a…
Ron Burgundy is back! Will Ferrell, obviously thrilled to be promoting a movie (Anchorman 2) that lots of folks actually want to see, has been everywhere lately, including ESPN, where he got Peyton Manning to come clean on the issues America’s most wanted to hear him address — like how…
For much of this season, Broncos receiver Eric Decker has earned more notice for Eric & Jessie: Game On, his E series with hottie Jessie James than he has for his on-field play. But that changed during Denver’s 35-28 victory over the Chiefs, when Decker hauled in four TDs. Afterward,…
After several months of displacement, the 20th Street Gym’s competitive boxing program is headed back to its home at the 20th Street Recreation Center in downtown Denver. Coach Robert Baca, who’s run the program for almost a decade, says he’s decided to take one of two options offered to him…
After the Broncos’ 34-31 humiliating loss to the Pats last night, marked by a blown 24-point halftime lead, Twitter Nation exploded with frustration, most of it aimed at four Broncos: Peyton Manning, for a sub-par performance, Montee Ball for a key fumble, Wes Welker for failing to wave off a…
Tom Brady, who’ll lead the New England Patriots against Peyton Manning and your Denver Broncos on Sunday night, is regarded by many folks as one of the most beautiful humans on the planet. But for inexplicable reasons, he frequently undermines his natural gorgeousness with hairstyles that range from the dubious…
