An Internet Crimes Against Children investigation of Chris “Birdman” Andersen is still open a year after investigators searched his Larkspur home. But that hasn’t stopped him from becoming an even bigger celebrity as a current member of the Miami Heat than he was in Denver — and expect the spotlight…
Last November, the subtitle to our post about the firing of CU-Boulder football coach Jon Embree posed the question, “A sacrifice by AD Mike Bohn to save his own job?” If so, the strategy didn’t work over the long haul. Bohn has now resigned as CU-Boulder’s athletic director in a…
Former Denver Nugget Chris Andersen, aka the Birdman, has been a major part of the Miami Heat’s success in the NBA playoffs to date thanks in part to a 15-15 consecutive basket streak that remained alive last night despite the Heat’s loss to the Pacers — because he didn’t attempt…
Ex-quarterback Cullen Finnerty was a Denver Bronco so briefly before the 2008 season that only the most fervent fans of the team are likely to recall him. Until now, that is. Finnerty, who led his Grand Valley State University squad to three national championships before his short stint with Denver,…
Goalies aren’t exactly known for fighting. But as you can see by some of the many videos on view below, Patrick Roy, among the best players to ever wear a Colorado Avalanche sweater, wasn’t afraid to throw down. He’ll need that bare-knuckle passion now that he’s finally accepted the job…
For the past year or so, Broncos receiver Eric Decker and Jesse James, his country-music-singing beloved, have topped the hottest local athlete/girlfriend list. But it looks like they’ve got some competition from the Colorado Rockies’ Josh Rutledge and Laura McKeeman, his significant other. A former Miss Florida, McKeeman works at…
Former defensive player of the year Charles Woodson had the chance to sign with either the Super Bowl-contending Denver Broncos or the lowly Oakland Raiders. And last night, he chose the Raiders. Having played in Oakland for eight years, Woodson should know as well as anyone that the Raiders suck…
This week’s feature, “Paging Doctor Bang Bang,” tells the story of Kimmy Kimmy Bang Bang, a.k.a. Kim Wilms, a foot-and-ankle surgeon by profession and a badass blocker and jammer on the track with the Denver Roller Dolls. Wilms doubles as the roller derby league’s unofficial in-house doctor, assisting skaters with…
No, it wasn’t a surprise the Nuggets lost 92-88 to the Warriors last night to get bounced in the NBA playoffs’ first round — again. But it was a gut-shot, since this was supposed to be the year the Nugs made a deep run. Who’s to blame? Plenty of names…
Hard to believe, but it’s only been a little more than thirteen months since Tim Tebow was traded by the Broncos to the New York Jets — and an unlucky thirteen it’s been. Tebow went from being the talk of the NFL thanks to his series of miracle victories for…
The Nuggets have made reaching the playoffs only to lose in the first round a tradition during the George Karl era. That was all supposed to change this year, though. Most wins in a single season since the Nugs joined the NBA. A third seed. Home court advantage against a…
With the 28th choice in last night’s NFL draft, the Denver Broncos selected Sylvester Williams, a defensive tackle from North Carolina seen here. We won’t be certain for years if this was a wise decision or a terrible one — but we’ve already got a mighty good idea which players…
Earlier this month, we featured a gallery of photos from Denver Broncos cheerleader tryouts — and it didn’t take long for supervisors to assemble a winning team for this next season. We’ve got the first squad photo below. But that’s not all. A number of slots opened up because several…
It’s been an exciting NBA regular season for a lot of reasons, including the Miami Heat’s 27-game winning streak and the epic battle between Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant for the scoring title. But don’t overlook the Denver Nuggets, who had one of the best season’s in franchise history. The…
During an interview yesterday on KOA (click here to listen to it), Peyton Manning listed his five favorite movies — all comedies from 1979 to 1985. He added that teammates need to watch the flicks, because otherwise when he quotes from them, the players won’t have any idea what the…
The Denver Police Department says that at this time, there’s no known local link to the horrific attack at the Boston Marathon yesterday. Yet the images currently blanketing news broadcasts can’t help striking a chord with local runners expecting to participate in the BolderBOULDER and Colfax Marathon next month. Will…
Just a few short months ago, the Denver Broncos’ best season in years ended in disappointment. But hope springs eternal, and so do those wishing to become members of the Broncos cheerleading squad that will whip crowds into a frenzy at what we all anticipate will be even more victories…
We admit it. After taking one look at the pitching staff of the 2013 Colorado Rockies, we thought the team would set records — for ineptitude. But thus far, we’ve been happily surprised — no, thrilled — by all aspects of the team, which currently has a 5-1 record and…
Yesterday, Rutgers head basketball coach Mike Rice was fired after video surfaced (it’s on view below) of him throwing balls at players, as well as kicking them and shouting homophobic slurs like “fucking faggot” and “fucking fairy.” An extreme case, no doubt, but not an isolated one. In fact, a…
It’s official: Elvis Dumervil, a vaunted sack-master and feared presence on the Broncos defensive line for seven years, is now officially a member of the Baltimore Ravens. How did this disastrous turn of events take place? For reasons that are at least as stupid as the ones that ended with…
If one were to create a line graph of the 2012-2013 college basketball season, it would look something like the Flatirons: jagged and uneven. Multiple teams held the position of number one in the country for a week, only to lose the next. Yes, it’s been a schizophrenic season, but…
In recent weeks, rumors that Vail skier Lindsey Vonn had hooked up with golfer Tiger Woods were snowed under by word of Vonn’s wipe-out at the world championships in Austria, where she suffered a severe knee injury; see our previous coverage below. Now, however, Lindsey and Tiger are refocusing on…
