Spotted: The BroncosBus in a strange, off-season hideout on shady Fairfax Street near Eighth Avenue across from Christ the King Church. The glorious orange and blue BroncosBus (“the product of a few friends’ collective love for Denver Broncos football,” according to the website, www.BroncosBus.com) can be seen at every home…
A week ago today, we shared mixed messages about Brandon Marshall coming from Jay Cutler’s Twitter feed. Now, however, it appears that Cutler may not have been the person doing the tweeting. The account in question has now been suspended due to what’s described as “strange activity” — which probably…
Nuggets fans know J.R. Smith as the happy-go-lucky prodigy who’s sure his every shot will find nylon whether he’s in the paint, beyond the arc or in the arena parking lot. But today, he’s facing a prospect capable of wiping the smile off anyone’s face: a jail sentence. Smith is…
Fears that the Colorado Rockies might turn their win streak upside down after losing for the first time in twelve games to the Tampa Bay Rays on June 16 proved unfounded in a major (league) way. The next day, the team began a stretch of fourteen games in fifteen days,…
Our daily blog-o-rama. Missing something? Send tips. Grading the Nuggets draft. (Denver Stiffs) Colorado doctors have been arrested for participating in a truly weird and despicable fraud scheme. (5280) Remember old Matt Holiday, the fella you were mourning before the Rockies ripped off 94 wins in a row. Well, this…
There are days when sifting through the world’s deadbeats in search of a stand-out shmuck just doesn’t feel right. This, dear reader, is one of those days. So instead, I give you Gary. For anyone watching from their living-room windows, it must have been quite the sight: a lonely little…
Last night, the Nuggets scored big in the NBA draft, landing North Carolina guard Ty Lawson without giving away a key player. But now comes word, from Denver Post hockey expert Adrian Dater, that the Colorado Avalanche, which has the number three pick in tonight’s NHL draft, might shrug off…
Even hardcore Nuggets fans didn’t go into last night’s NBA draft expecting the team to do much. After all, the squad had the number 34 selection — the sort of position that would likely result in the drafting of a European player we’d never see in a baby-blue uni. And…
As disgruntled Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall tries to maneuver his way into a new contract in another NFL city, his surrogates are talking him up in high-profile media venues. Example: The Jacksonville Jaguars’ Mike Walker, who describes himself as Marshall’s best friend, spoke at length about his buddy to…
It was an exciting month for rugby here in Denver, as long as you weren’t rooting for the home team. Denver played host to North America’s marquee rugby event, the Churchill Cup, this year. The six competing teams — Ireland, England, Argentina, Canada, the US and Georgia — played two…
Numbers and stats are absolutely central to baseball, adding immeasurably to the fun of the game. That’s why DriveLine Mechanics’ ultra-wonky breakdown of Colorado Rockies pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez’s approach is fascinating rather than bizarre. Jimenez, the probable starter tonight against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim — who fell to…
Does Jay Cutler love Brandon Marshall in a manly yet platonic, slap-him-on-the-butt-after-he-scores-a-touchdown-but-don’t-let-the-hand-linger kind of way? That’s certainly the impression he gave yesterday during an appearance at William and Mary’s Colonial All-Pro Football Camp when the subject turned to whether Sweet Baby Jay would like BM to land in Chicago alongside…
There was a time when I wanted Roger Goodell to come down on Brandon Marshall. It was before the ESPN hit piece, but after Marshall’s most recent display of unhinged chauvinism, and around the time former Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was to be released from prison. While most Broncos fans…
Back on June 12, I wrote that I wouldn’t be able to look at the Colorado Rockies’ glass as half full until they reached the .500 mark. To the delight of Rockies’ fans everywhere, that happened yesterday, thanks to a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. This outcome was…
At this writing, linebacker Boss Bailey’s page remains on the Denver Broncos’ website — but that won’t be true for long. Yesterday, the team cut him loose. And while that makes sense (he’s still rehabbing from the sort of microfracture surgery that makes comebacks slow and difficult), it’s still disappointing…
As pointed out in a blog yesterday, the Colorado Rockies need stability more than a franchise-record win streak — and it’s a good thing, since the Rocks were clubbed to death in a 12-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays last night, halting them one victory short of a best-ever…
The latest report about trade-demanding wide receiver Brandon Marshall cites interest from the Baltimore Ravens, who made a play for the Arizona Cardinals’ Anquan Boldin a couple of months back in an effort to give young QB Joe Flacco a credible deep threat. But the team is sending mixed signals…
With the recent end of the Denver Nuggets’ exciting season, plenty of fans in these parts probably figured that they wouldn’t have another competitive local pro-sports team to follow until… the Nugs start playing again in the fall. But the Rockies have elbowed their way back into the conversation via…
Most football observers think the Broncos came out on the short end of the trade that sent Jay Cutler to Chicago earlier this year — a move that may have inspired troublemaking wide receiver Brandon Marshall’s own attempt to get out of Denver. But Greg Trippiedi, a Michigan-based blogger who…
Broncos wide receiver has had off-season health issues, not to mention a proclivity for arrests that rivals Robert Downey Jr. during his drug-pounding years. So, of course, he thinks he deserves an enormous new contract, and he’s demanded a trade if he doesn’t get one. Given his skill level, it’s…
Wow: That was suspenseful. The competition to succeed Jay Cutler as Broncos QB is already over now that Kyle Orton has been awarded the starting position — although it’s debatable whether he should regard this move as a victory. After all, he may not have disgruntled, new-contract-wanting Brandon Marshall as…
This morning’s Denver Post features a Colorado Rockies story on page one — but it’s not about the team’s eleventh straight victory, which tied a franchise record. Rather, it concerns an interview with catcher Yorvit Torrealba on the subject of his son’s kidnapping and eventual rescue in Venezuela. And its…
