Last week, radio host Dan Caplis argued that Tim Tebow is a victim of media bias and a poor decision on the part of the Broncos’ braintrust regarding his position behind QBs Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn. After Denver’s 23-20 Saturday win over Seattle, the first issue is still debatable,…

Geoff Giles hopes to ride his souped-up Harley to a land speed record of 200 mph, all in the name of diabetes research and his daughter, Hayden.

Give these Denver blog pieces a chance. Colorado Independent’s Scot Kersgaard previews Rick Perry’s $5,000-a-head Denver-area fundraiser tonight by bringing up that controversial line about gays and alcoholism. How rude!

Camping out for SNIAGRAB, Sports Authority’s annual ski and snowboard sale, is a weird but endearing Denver tradition. And the tent city has already started forming, a week-and-a-half before the September 3 event gets underway. That’s three days earlier than the 2010 SNIGRAB lineup of snow addicts determined to score…
What’s more important? The President and Vice President of the United Stated or the principles they are there to uphold? It’s a lovely, abstract question with an answer that may prove to be more difficult to answer in the real world we are living in. And does the fact that…
Pushing a tax hike during difficult economic times might seem like the political equivalent of a suicide mission. But Senator Rollie Heath has taken on the challenge anyway — and this week, Proposition 103, which would earmark the extra funds for schools, was officially approved for the November ballot. Moreover,…
Overheated parents of children who attend Denver Public Schools can now cool their calls for air-conditioning. Instead of demanding that the city raise property taxes to fund a $400-million bond issue to install air-conditioning in older schools, panicky parents can now just include a few freezer packs when shopping for…
For months, Colorado Springs State Bank has been working with medical marijuana centers shunned by most lenders, because pot is illegal according to the same federal government regulating them.

Yesterday, KHOW’s Dan Caplis talked about what he sees as media bias against Tim Tebow, as well as a mistake made by John Fox and John Elway to back the “safe” pick, Kyle Orton, over a younger prospect. Caplis’s theory didn’t win over this reader…
It was among the most shocking crimes to take place in these parts during recent years: sixteen-year-old Nathan Bozonier was hit by a car, then beaten to death with a baseball bat. Now, Antonio Rios becomes the third person convicted in his murder, following Adrian Ray Quintana and Lakiesha Vigil…
In May, Longmont moved toward prohibiting the town’s dispensaries — but the ban’s July 1 implementation was delayed. Now, the shutdown order’s in place, and while an appeal is still possible, Michael W. Gross, an attorney representing several centers, concedes that courts have not been eager to overrule such actions…
Sometimes one sentence sums up a situation perfectly — and Rebecca Ward, a nineteen-year-old from London, reportedly uttered it after careening into not one, not two, but three cars in a wild, sparks-filled series of crashes in Boulder. That phrase? “I am so fucked.”…
Update: Yesterday, we shared info from a knowledgeable source about the search for a new CEO of MediaNews Group, the journalism giant that owns the Denver Post and over a hundred other newspapers across the U.S..

This dispensary has closed. I walked past The Clone Store twice before I finally saw its sign on the door out front. Granted, I was stoned, but the shop wasn’t easy to find — especially compared to its highly visible next-door-neighbor dispensary, Alternative Medicine Capitol Hill…
Nine candidates are vying for three seats on the Denver Public Schools Board of Education. That’s two more than the last time we wrote about the race, in early July. Of those nine candidates, eight have turned in petitions with fifty valid voter signatures…
The Queen Stage, which racers battled yesterday from Gunnison to Aspen, was defined by two punishing climbs over Cottonwood and Independence passes. Yet, it was a rainy, white-knuckle inducing descent from Independence Pass that defined the day, and possibly the entire race. American George Hincapie won the stage and vaulted…
