Yep, Tim Tebow and the Broncos are in the playoffs, and each day this week, to get you ready for Saturday’s showdown with the New England Patriots, we’re going to put real fans to the test with brain teasers from the Denver Broncos Trivia Game (the 1985 version, which I…
Our post about the arrest of Carmen Tisch, who was busted for pounding, scratching and rubbing against a Clyfford Still painting worth $30 million-plus, sparked a slew of responses from readers. Here’s one from a reader who wondered if Tisch isn’t something of an artist herself…
Did you know that other things happened over the weekend aside from the Broncos’ shocking playoff win? It’s true, and our slide show page and family of blogs — The Latest Word, Cafe Society, Backbeat Online and Show and Tell — have the skinny. Look below for photos and info…
Last week, we shared details about sex-assault accusations against three Air Force Academy cadets — Stephan Claxton, Kyle Cressy and Robert Evenson — nine years after a scandal over similar crimes rocked the institution. An AFA rep stresses that the academy takes such incidents very seriously — but he adds…
Since our post last week about Durango High student Sydney Spies protesting the banning of a flirty photo from her school’s yearbook, the story has exploded nationally, culminating with her appearance this morning, alongside her mom, Miki, on the Today show. In the piece, on view below, yearbook editors say…
Lafayette’s Allyson Stone, 44, has been at the center of two bizarre stories over the past few years. First, she was seriously injured by a dachshund named Spork while working as a vet tech — an incident that prompted a campaign to prevent the aging pet from being dubbed a…
There’s not enough acid in the world to have made Denverites collectively hallucinate the Broncos’ 29-23 playoff victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. From the moment Denver’s offense came to life in the second quarter to the sight of the CBS studio crew Tebowing, the game was a trip from which…
At Florida, Tim Tebow famously put the number 3:16 (as in the Biblical verse John 3:16) on his eye black. That’s a no-go in the NFL — so instead of writing the digits on his face, he wrote them in the box score of the Broncos’ unbelievably improbable 29-23 overtime…
Because even most Broncos fans don’t give their team much of a chance this afternoon against the Pittsburgh Steelers, there’s been little of the trash talk that usually precedes a playoff game. So give Boone’s Tavern, in the DU area, credit for carrying on this sacred tradition — by striking…
This has been a busy month for Shelby, Occupy Denver’s temporarily absent leader and erstwhile scapegoat for those who’d like the group to have one. The political Border collie celebrated New Year’s in style: On her first trip to Zuccotti Park, Occupy Wall Street’s capitol, Shelby was greeted with a…
Edi-Pure has infused classic treats and sweets with the soothing medicine of cannabis, allowing patients to escalate in relief with taste buds begging for more of their delicious and discrete morsels. This week, I dipped back into my childhood of nabbing a few candies from the local candy store with…
The defeat of a bill to legalize civil unions in the last legislative session was a heart-breaker for those in favor of marriage equality. After passing in the Senate, the bill was defeated in a House committee by one vote — with all six of the panel’s Republicans voting against…
The Santa Fe offices of the Colorado Progressive Coalition contain no front desk or really any lobby, just a series of colorful hallways unevenly decorated with Chicano and Native American artwork. The tables are covered with snacks and political literature, and the back wall marks a recent round of staff…
Denver blog posts know their way around the block. To prepare for tonight’s Nuggets-Hornets game, glory in coverage by Denver Stiffs’ Nate Timmons of Kenneth “Manimal” Faried’s slamming turn against the Kings. At Colorado Independent, Jason Salzman wonders if Mike Coffman and Cory Gardner will back the Personhood Amendment. Denver…
The Center for Responsive Politics has released a personal finance overview for each member of Congress. We did a little number crunching and found some interesting figures regarding Colorado’s congressional members. Collectively, Colorado’s nine-person delegation is worth $166,900,678…
As one of the authors of California’s Proposition 215, which sanctioned medical cannabis for the first time in the United States, as well as several legal handbooks, Michael Malott has a unique perspective on the medical marijuana laws that have been passed since.

When Alexandra Elizabeth McLean was hired last summer to take over as the new drama teacher at Englewood High School, she probably wanted to make her mark. After all, she was replacing a guy who had been there for three decades before retiring. She did — by banging one of…
Colorado’s first caucuses were modestly attended affairs that didn’t have a sizable impact on the presidential choices of either major party. But turnout jumped four years ago, especially for the Democratic caucus that boosted Barack Obama. Predictably, Colorado Republican Party chairman Ryan Call is the opposite of an Obama fan…
In a recent post, Alan Prendergast dug into a study that documented horrific prison conditions for juvenile lifers. But the tales of rape by stalkers known as canines and protective isolation that can create additional problems didn’t produce much sympathy among some readers — like, for instance, this one…
