There was worry in Broncos Nation after the squad had a tougher time than anticipated versus Dallas and Jacksonville, then lost to the Indianapolis Colts. But Sunday’s big win over Washington amped up the optimism at the Broncos Memes Facebook page to the level seen in our last memes collection,…
If you happened to tune into cable news or talk radio or any other variety of media late last week for the first time in fourteen or fifteen years, you might think things were stuck in an endless loop. There was that harpy Nancy Grace, grilling forensic whiz Henry Lee…
Yesterday morning, KOA morning-show host Steffan Tubbs made a classic broadcasting mistake — dropping an F-bomb during a commercial break when he incorrectly thought his microphone was no longer live. His comment? He opined that Nicole Polizzi, better known as Snooki, is “fucking ugly.” KOA announced that Tubbs would be…
Which state will be the next to legalize marijuana? What do the Obama administration’s recent announcements about marijuana legalization and mandatory minimums really mean? What are some solutions to the national overdose crisis that takes more lives than car accidents or gun violence? Those were just some of the questions…
On Monday, we shared the top twenty tweets spawned by ex-Denver coach Mike Shanahan’s Washington Redskins allegedly faking injuries in an attempt to slow down the Broncos. Some readers felt nothing could do to prevent such a scheme — but one floated a possible solution…

Last week, the Denver Post announced six layoffs — the sort of downsizing that’s all too common at daily newspapers. But many online news outlets are struggling, too, thanks to funding difficulties and more. Against this backdrop, the education website EdNews Colorado is not only growing its small staff, but…
Earlier this year, golfer Tiger Woods and Vail skier Lindsey Vonn announced that they’re dating — and had changed their Facebook status. So naturally, Tiger was a major topic during an especially flirty Vonn appearance on last night’s episode of The Late Show with David Letterman. There was the saucy…
The eleven counties currently making noise about seceding from Colorado to form their own state may not want anything to do with Denver’s legal weed or gun control. But if you believe Facebook, there’s one export from the Mile-High City that they’re not ready to give up: the Denver Broncos…
If there’s one type of person we should be able to rely on in this crazy world of ours, it’s a guy we met online who wants to buy a monkey. Okay, maybe not, as a Missouri woman learned the hard way. Police say the woman was pepper sprayed and…
Update: Two readers sent us a pics of their Colorado pride tattoo. See them on the last page of this post. Last year, we shared our picks for the top eight Colorado flag tattoos. Since then, the state symbol has only become more ubiquitous — so it’s no surprise that…
Hanging over the entry of the suburban home in Frederick was the sort of decoration that’s commonplace in the days leading to Halloween: a winged Grim Reaper. But what was once a symbol of holiday high spirits had been transformed into something much more literal. That’s because a three year…
Update: Since we told you about the attempted kidnapping of an eight-year-old girl from her Aurora bedroom early yesterday morning (see our previous coverage below), local authorities have made the still-unknown perpetrator their highest priority. In addition to releasing a sketch of the suspect in conjunction with a press conference…
We recently reported about the controversy over an Arapahoe Basin executive announcing that skiers caught smoking marijuana in public at the resort could lose their lift ticket — a warning that stirred plenty of controversy. But one important factor may not have been fully considered by those on either side…
A reader comment about preferring stoned skiers over drunk assholes spurred lots of conversation about the distinctions between the two. Some readers rejected both types, while one came down firmly on the side of those who smoke, even though she doesn’t personally do so. Here’s her take…
Denver blog posts are rooting for everyone to survive. South Stands Denver’s Colin Daniels offers a guide to starting a Walking Dead fantasy league. Is your money on Rick? Glenn? Maggie? Michonne? Colorado Peak Politics on a reporter with Colorado ties and the federal search of her home. Denver Egotist:…
Update: At least two of the nine Denver Public Schools Board of Education candidates — Michael Kiley and Meg Schomp — voluntarily disclosed all campaign contributions over $100 by midnight on October 25, fulfilling a request from a coalition of organizations that includes the Denver teachers union, which has endorsed…
On Saturday, proud owners of pit bulls (and some other breeds) took part in Littleton’s Parade of Pit Bulls, an event staged in conjunction with National Pit Bull Awareness Day. With Halloween right around the corner, many of the parade participants were in costume, and photographer Darian Simon was on…
Late last night, a report of shots fired in Commerce City resulted in an ugly accident. Specifically, a train hit and dragged a car that the shooting suspects had used in a failed attempt to escape. Although three people have been arrested, there are a lot of unanswered questions at…
Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett is one of the most open and accessible elected officials in the state — but in the matter of newly released true bills accusing John and Patsy Ramsey of culpability in the 1996 murder of JonBenet Ramsey, their daughter, he’s keeping mum, with his only…
It’s been almost a year since we dipped into the pool of weirdness known as Boulder Craigslist’s “Rants and Raves” to highlight the ten weirdest posts there. And whaddya know: We discovered a fresh supply of bizarre posts — some funny, some odd, some completely indescribable. Look below to check…
The Broncos’ 45-21 win over Washington Sunday wasn’t the laugher the score implies. Denver trailed 21-7 in the third quarter before reeling off 38 points — an onslaught Broncos coach turned Washington head man Mike Shanahan apparently (read: definitely) tried to slow by having players fake injuries. Fans at the…
