If mediocrity was a woman, she would have a restraining order on the current Rockies team. The only thing notable about this team is that Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez are both battling nagging injuries. So why not look back on the good times? On the twentieth anniversary of Major…
Nenê is among the most controversial Nuggets of the decade — an undeniably talented player who never quite lived up to the hype but remains a valuable commodity. Now, however, he’s opted out of his contract and will become an unrestricted free agent. Does that mean the Nuggets will get…
Want more evidence of soccer’s growing popularity in this country? Look no further than yesterday’s White House ceremony honoring your Colorado Rapids, winner of the MLS Cup. Owner Stan Kroenke and the whole crew were on hand as President Barack Obama, self-declared “soccer dad,” feted the team’s accomplishments in exchange…
An assistant coach might be canned for a number of reasons. Maybe his play designs were lacking creativity or he was communicating poorly with players. But while those would seem to be acceptable reasons for why Nuggets assistant Adrian Dantley will not return to the team next year, he claims…
Imagine biking up a steep Colorado peak, rafting through the Rapids of the Colorado River and then rappelling down a jagged and imposing cliff. Now imagine doing that blind or without the use of an arm or both of your legs. That’s exactly what many of the participants will be…
Last night’s NBA draft didn’t look to be an eventful one with the Denver Nuggets, what with the team drafting way down at the number 22 position and the prospect of a lockout making franchises cautious about big trades. But the Nugs made a splash anyhow with the selection of…
The Denver Nuggets picked up Ty Lawson’s extension for next year, securing one of the only impact draft picks the team has made since selecting Carmelo Anthony in 2003. Lawson was the eighteenth pick of the 2009 draft and the Nuggets will hope to get similar value with the 22nd…
If the NBA Draft plays out for Alec Burks the way the CU Buffs’ season did, he’ll be drafted in the middle of the second round. After all, the Buffs received a March Madness snub that had ESPN’s Dick Vitale screaming something about Scarlett Johanssen. But assuming another injustice isn’t…
As Kyle Garratt noted in a post yesterday, the Colorado Rockies stunk up Coors Field on Father’s Day. But the 9-1 defeat to the Detroit Tigers wasn’t the only disappointment for dads. Prior to the game, Rockies personnel gave out excellent Troy Tulowitzki jerseys, but not to fathers, much to…
After his career debut at Coors Field, Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander told MLB.com that early in the game, “my fastball control wasn’t anywhere near where it should be” and described his breaking ball as “okay.” Yet his skills were enough to toss a complete game against the Rockies while…
Two guys meet up in a bar and exchange a few words. Nobody gets hurt. No reason to make a federal case out of it. Unless, of course, the two guys are Lance Armstrong and Tyler Hamilton. Then the FBI, the AFLD and even TMZ want to know exactly who…
A group of homeless men mulled playing another inning of softball this morning at Sonny Lawson Park. One man gestured to his nonexistent watch. Another joked, “My accountant can wait.” So the game went on, thanks to the Homeless Diamond program created and sponsored by local real estate broker Joe…
A friend of mine used to sell T-shirts in college. He was putting himself through school, along with a few scholarships, and he needed every dollar he could get. So he’d come up with a creative design idea, get a small loan from his mom and have the T-shirts printed…
Last summer, some observers were still optimistic that Carmelo Anthony might remain a Denver Nugget. But their confidence was shaken when he put his Polo Ridge Estates mansion on the market for $9.5 million. A year later, the spread has finally sold for $6.2 million — more than $3 million…
When Broncos legend Floyd Little was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last year, his relationship with his past team seemed blissful. But now, a lawsuit on view below reveals that Little and a slew of other past Broncos, including notables like Louie Wright and Randy Gradishar, have…
The Colorado Rockies were baseball’s worst team in May — and it’s got the worst ticket agents in baseball, according to a study conducted by IntelliShop, a company that sends anonymous consumers into businesses to grade employees. Professional shoppers made calls to the Rockies’ season ticket office and the staff…
With the NFL lockout dragging on, Tim Tebow seems to be running for starting quarterback as surely as a candidate runs for office. And last night, during an appearance on The Daily Show to tout his new book, Through My Eyes, he took another step toward winning fans’ hearts and…
Tim Tebow’s book Through My Eyes is filled with stories about faith, football, faith, family and faith, in that order — and he’s promoting it with the same kind of pumped-up enthusiasm that marks his play. He’s already appeared on an extended segment of Sean Hannity’s Fox News program: see…
For most Coloradans, the term “spring runoff” has nothing to do with Denver mayoral candidates Michael Hancock and Chris Romer and everything to do with the whitewater competition between tubers and kayakers. The fiercest fight for foam is often found at the Clear Creek Whitewater Park in Golden…..
Shanahan was fired, McDaniels was forgotten, and now it’s up to new head coach John Fox to bring home a Super Bowl title… or is it? With so many changing faces in the Denver franchise as of late, there’s only one that fans seem to be rallying behind: Tim Tebow…
Congratulations to the Colorado Rockies. Last night’s excessively exasperating 7-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers assured the Rockies of baseball’s worst record in May. For the month, they sit at 8-20…
TMZ’s item about J.R. Smith’s arrest in Miami over the weekend for driving a scooter without a license is punctuated with this exclamation: “THUG LIFE!!!!” Yes, the bust’s minor. But is it also a reminder to the Nuggets that inking J.R. long-term means living with this kind of stuff and…
