It’s been a dispiriting start of the season for your Denver Nuggets. The team looks uncertain under new coach Brian Shaw — a problem compounded by injuries to Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler (who should return soon) and, now, JaVale McGee, who’s out with a stress fracture. But last night’s game…
Despite some unexpectedly tense moments in the fourth quarter, Denver’s 28-20 win over San Diego yesterday was mostly fun to watch — especially if, like most Broncos fans, you loathe Chargers quarterback and nasty memes magnet Philip Rivers. But just as entertaining was trolling Twitter for tweets about Rivers featuring…
“The life of an NFL player is not Peyton Manning’s life,” says former Denver Bronco Nate Jackson. “It’s not even Peyton Manning’s life for Peyton Manning — that’s the weird part.” Jackson, the author of Slow Getting Up: A Story of NFL Survival from the Bottom of the Pile, was…
The host cities for the first six of seven stages for the 2014 USA Pro Challenge were announced at a press conference in Aspen this morning along with news of a fan-vote contest to determine the course for the final stage, which will end in either Denver or Golden. “For…
Are Colorado sports personalities literally falling apart? Certainly seems that way. On Friday night, Nuggets supermascot Rocky passed out while being lowered to the Pepsi Center floor. Then, on Sunday, longtime John Elway backup Gary Kubiak, who went on to become a Denver assistant coach before being hired to helm…
Earlier this week, Vail’s Lindsey Vonn turned in a saucy performance on The Late Show with David Letterman, delivering a sly wink as she bantered about holes in one and the dangers of boyfriend Tiger Woods going down (while skiing, that is). But she may not have turned as many…
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,…
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…
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…
The Broncos’ 39-33 defeat to Indianapolis last night was undeniably gut-wrenching. But did it come from out of the blue? Not if you’ve been paying attention. Over the past few weeks, Denver’s been flirting with catastrophe on a regular basis, only to survive with their impressive regular-season winning streak intact…
Colts QB Andrew Luck faces a big challenge this weekend, when he faces off against the Broncos’ Peyton Manning in PM’s first game in Indianapolis since leaving for Denver. But Luck may have an even harder time when it comes to earning a place of honor when it comes to…
Over the past week, I’ve been telling every Broncos loyalist within the sound of my voice that Denver wouldn’t cover the 28-point spread over Jacksonville — reportedly the largest margin ever in the NFL. But I thought the reason would be boredom: Peyton Manning and company would jump out to…
Nathan Starks is one of the most highly recruited high school football players in the country — but he couldn’t get on the field for Cherry Creek High School, coached by ex-NFL pro and voice of the Broncos Dave Logan, because he’d been ruled ineligible by the Colorado High School…
This season, there’s been nary a discouraging word said about Broncos QB Peyton Manning, who’s on one of the most spectacular runs in NFL history. But the medical journal Pediatrics is an exception to this rule. A new study just shared in the publication evaluates athlete endorsements in food marketing…
If the folks at Comcast wanted to maximize hatred and inspire customers to explore satellite delivery, they couldn’t have chosen a better time for a cable outage than at halftime of as crazy a Broncos game as any in recent memory — a 51-48 victory over the Dallas Cowboys not…
As the Denver Broncos get ready to face the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday, there’s no mistaking the fact that the team |(and QB Peyton Manning in particular) are off to one of the hottest starts in NFL history. They’ve scored 179 points over four wins (or 44.8 points per game),…
One of the most prominent clips of Boulder-based cyclocross racer Amy Dombroski declares that she had become a rock star — and that’s precisely how she was viewed locally and internationally. Her effervescent personality was matched by grit exemplified by the number of pics in which her face is spattered…
Last year, we created a list of the top ten most unusual Denver Broncos tattoos — and “unusual” was the nicest thing that could be said about some of them. Although, to be honest, we loved the Broncos Elvis. Now, with the Broncos 4-0 and looking pretty damn invincible, we…
Last week, our post previewing Eric & Jessie: Game On, the new E Network reality series featuring Broncos receiver Eric Decker and singer Jessie James was subtitled “Don’t hate them because they’re beautiful.” But that may be tough for some of those who caught last night’s debut. The show was…
The Broncos’ 52-20 destruction of the Philadelphia Eagles at Mile High Stadium yesterday was an appropriate prelude to last night’s final episode of Breaking Bad. Like Walter White, played so memorably by Bryan Cranston, Peyton Manning and his Denver teammates showed vulnerability at times. But in the end, they dispatched…
It’s going to be a busy Sunday for Broncos receiver Eric Decker. First, he and his team will take on the Philadelphia Eagles at Mile High Stadium — and then, at 8 p.m. our time, his new reality series, Eric and Jessie: Game On, is slated to bow on the…
