Denver blog posts are still stuffed from Thanksgiving. Denver Stiffs’ Nate Timmons on the post-NBA lockout Nuggets.

The so-called Personhood Amendment, which holds that the term “person” applies to humans from their biological starting point, failed in Colorado in 2008 and 2010 — but last week, organizers filed new language with the goal of putting the measure on the 2012 ballot. What will be different this time…
Did watching Jesus perform miracles ever become routine? No — and we’re sure as heaven not bored seeing Tim Tebow do likewise week after week. But thanks and praise for the Broncos 16-13 win over San Diego must be shared with The Chosen One’s apostles. Especially Saint Von Miller…
What was even more amazing about the Broncos’ latest come-from-behind win with Tim Tebow at the helm? The apparent fact that CBS held a shot of San Diego Chargers kicker Nick Novak — who missed two key field goals this afternoon — draining his lizard during fourth quarter crunch time…

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow graces the latest cover of Sports Illustrated, currently on the stands.

Depending upon what you’d expect of a Thanksgiving spent with Occupy Denver in the Angriest City in America, you might or might not be surprised to learn what was on the menu. Including a short (but sweet) police chase…
The Thunderdome’s brief meeting with Governor John Hickenlooper has been captured on video — and on YouTube — and you can watch it below.
