In recent years, the dangers of concussions has finally begun to receive serious attention across the sporting landscape. But a complaint filed in Denver District Court last week (read it here) alleges that this belated shift didn’t take place in time to save former Colorado Crush kicker Clay Rush from…
The Denver Roller Dolls — the fourth-best roller derby league in the country, according to the Derby News Network — have one of the best deals in derby. They’ve partnered with promoter AEG Live and Denver sports heavyweight Kroenke Sports Entertainment. Plus, they’ll skate in a revamped 6,500-seat mini-stadium: the…
I always liked Georgetown. Pretty campus, cool uniforms, lots of history — what else do you need to know about a team to deem it Elite Eight-bound? But then the tournament started, and Georgetown decided to wet itself against a team that, eighteen hours later, I can’t even remember their…
To put it mildly, the jury is still out on whether new Broncos quarterback Brady Quinn is going to be a savior or a bust. But there’s no debate about whether Quinn’s a luscious chunk of man candy. The verdict on that’s been in for a while now. Fortunately, Quinn…
A lot of things have been said about former Cleveland QB Brady Quinn since he was traded to the Broncos — some positive, others not so much. But who would have guessed that an NFL Network commentator would refer to him by the C-word superimposed boldly across the top of…
New acquisition Brady Quinn is the Broncos’ savior? Anyone who watched the former Cleveland signal caller’s ineptitude during the Browns’ 27-6 loss to the Broncos last season should have a hard time offering hosannas — but that didn’t stop a caller to KOA yesterday afternoon from mentioning Quinn in the…
Welcome to the working week. Here’s some Denver blogs to help you get through day one. Derek B at Mile High Hockey on Avs goalie Craig Anderson’s 48 saves en route to a victory yesterday against Dallas: “I am not sure what the Craig Anderson Debt is up to, but…
Just in time for the warmer weather, Google Maps has released navigation directions for those on bikes. And Denver’s among of the first cities around the country to get the service…
In our Denver Blogs feature last Thursday, we reacted with amazement upon discovering a credible local blogger — Mile High Report’s Tim Lynch — who actually thought the Broncos would be wise to obtain the services of Cleveland QB Brady Quinn. Lynch has gotten his wish: Over the weekend, Quinn…
Pat Bowlen opened up his wallet in recent days, signing three strong defensive linemen: Jarvis Green (formerly with — surprise! — New England), Jamal Williams (an ex-Charger) and Justin Bannan (a Baltimore Raven). And while these players are closer to the end of their career than the beginning, all of…
Nuggets fans may not have loved everything Allen Iverson brought to the team — but it’s still hard to watch his slow-motion disintegration from afar without feeling melancholy about a player who defied expectations by being a perfect gentleman during his stay in Denver. Iverson had already taken a leave…
Yesterday morning, I wrote about how important Kenyon Martin’s knee is to the Nuggets championship hopes. Then, a few hours later, the Denver Post reported what’s been characterized as good news in most quarters: Martin won’t need surgery, but he’ll be sitting out for a while — possibly until the…
Last night’s Nuggets victory over the Portland Trail Blazers would be a happier development if it weren’t for the presence of Kenyon Martin in street clothes during the game. This season, the Nuggets have emerged as legitimate title contenders — a squad tough enough not only to challenge the title-holding…
News that the Carolina Panthers had released veteran quarterback Jake Delhomme just a year after inking him to a hefty contract extension immediately started grapevines buzzing in every NFL city with QB question marks, including Denver. But judging by early takes on the DenverBroncos.com message board, fans aren’t wowed by…
Last week, we told you about Nuggets Twitter fan J.R. Smith, who challenged L.A. Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant via a cocky tweet — “Dont get me wrong kobe is great but not when he play me” — before telling the media to keep its collective nose off his page. Turns…
Our last Denver blogs roundup of the week. But Monday’s not that far away. Ian Henson at Bronco Talk notes that the Bears’ loss of a coin flip to the Jaguars gives the Broncos the eleventh pick in the NFL draft — which will save $1.5 million-$2 million in guaranteed…
Yesterday on Mile High Sports Radio 1510, Nate Kreckman and Joel Klatt, who have quickly become must listens among Denver sports lovers, debated a bar fight in Atlanta involving Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno, who won’t be charged in the scuffle. The Denver Post’s Mike Klis, a regular Kreckman-and-Klatt guest,…
Last August, the Denver Post focused plenty of attention on the Twitter account of Nugget J.R. Smith, with columnist Woody Paige opining that Smith’s tweet’s proved he still needs to grow up and a separate article implying that his use of the letter “K” as a substitute for “C” recalled…
News that future Hall of Fame running back LaDainian Tomlinson had been released by the San Diego Chargers immediately set off speculation about where he might land, with the Broncos among the many, many teams mentioned. Makes sense on a superficial level. Even in those good old days when Denver…
Brandon Marshall has been sending out so many mixed signals about potentially signing a new contract with the Broncos that even he probably doesn’t know what he wants at this point. Note that during Pro Bowl week, he declared his love for Denver — but upon being busted for drunk…
Denver’s John W. Johnson is a bowler — one serious enough to have flown with his wife to Reno to participate in this past weekend’s U.S. Bowling Congress open championship. And while he’s not among the winners at the event listed on the Bowl.com website, he hardly wound up in…
One reason roller derby can seem campy is the nicknames the skaters give themselves, which are sometimes witty and sometimes cute and sometimes downright pee-your-pants intimidating. Though some ultra-competitive skaters have abandoned their silly derby names and eyebrow-raising uniforms when they compete for national rankings, a concept explored in this…
