The Denver Nuggets’ loss yesterday of backup forward Linas Kleiza, who signed a two-year, $12.2 million deal with the Greek team Olympiakos, has prompted a collective shrug by most members of Nuggets Nation, probably owing to Kleiza’s underperformance last season, when many observers expected him to have a break-out year…
Last night, Troy Tulowitzki had one of the best nights ever by a member of the Colorado Rockies, driving in seven runs and hitting for the cycle (thanks to a wild sprint that stretched a double into triple) in an 11-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Along the way, Tulo…
It must’ve seemed like such a good idea at the time. Let senior University of Colorado cornerback Ben Burney blog about the Buffaloes’ 2009 season on the CU’s athletic department’s website. It would show fans what it’s really like to be one of those heroes in black and gold, the…
The deal that finally got Knowshon Moreno, the Broncos’ first draft pick, into camp includes almost a nearly $13 million guarantee — a big chunk of change, particularly considering how prone running backs are to getting hurt. Fortunately, Moreno has what WalterFootball.com’s pre-draft report described as a “minimal injury history…
As training camp gets into full swing and the football season looms ever closer, our beloved Denver Broncos are stuck in what’s known as a “rebuilding” year. As a team in flux, the orange and blue face many questions. Can Josh McDaniels succeed as a head coach? Will Kyle Orton…
When Jay Cutler left Denver in favor of Chicago, following one of the greatest hissy-fits in local sports history, he left behind plenty of fans who lamented his departure. His behavior since then has caused that number to diminish considerably, however, and his most recent comments about the Mile High…
Great idea for the Broncos to stage a free practice session at Invesco Field last night. Problem is, the event gave many more folks than those who visit training camp at Dove Valley — more than 13,000, reportedly — an opportunity to see just how unimpressive quarterback Kyle Orton looks…
Oh, you crazy Internet, you! What won’t you share with us? This question crops up in relation to the “Girlfriend Forum” on Talk-Sports.net, a series of pages devoted to the ladies who love professional athletes, regardless of marital status. The most visited cyber-nook at the portion of the site devoted…
A baseball card collection that features Colorado’s boys of summer (dresses) in the fashions of Denver designers. Left Fielder Carlos Gonzalez can better chase his (field of) dreams in a bright, bold-print halter dress made from vintage fabrics by Taryn Slawson……
As June ended, Nuggets prodigy J.R. Smith was sentenced to thirty days in a New Jersey jail and 500 hours of community service in regard to a 2007 crash that killed his friend, Andre Bell. But shortly after doing his time, he headed to Las Vegas — not exactly a…
The behavior of Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall, whose “hamstring injury” over the weekend followed obvious signals that he’d rather undergo several weeks of continuous dental work that participate in the team’s training camp, clearly isn’t to the liking of YouTuber garyhoosier. He’s created a video set to the classic sounds…
In May, World Wrestling Entertainment showman Vince McMahon got publicity aplenty when a WWE Raw event was bumped from the Pepsi Center by a playoff game between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers. McMahon’s PR blitz included a mock showdown between him and Nuggets/Pepsi Center owner Stan Kroenke…
Although Broncos wideout (and past Shmuck of the Week) Brandon Marshall has made it mondo-clear that he wants to be traded, he’s attending training camp anyhow — presumably because he doesn’t want to fork over thousands of dollars in daily fines if he skipped out on the sessions. Yesterday, however,…
The Broncos start training camp today, and, sure, you could go watch. But unless you sneak into the locker room and hide behind Brandon Marshall’s ego, going to camp won’t give you even a hint of what life is really like for the Broncos. For that, you’ll have to hit…
Funny story out Chicago yesterday — especially if, like most Broncos fans, you desperately want Jay Cutler to wind up working as a bouncer at the one strip club of Santa Claus, Indiana. The story went like this: Vikings receiver Bobby Wade went on a podcast in Minnesota, and was…
If there was only some way to retroactively haze him, Keith Miller’s old Colorado teammates would have plenty of fun with the recent story in the New York Times celebrating the old fullback’s upcoming solos for the Metropolitan Opera, and revealing his old movie-watching habits: Mr. Miller’s life-changing moment came…
With the trading deadline (2 p.m. Friday) breathing down on them, the Rockies’ main wild-card foe made a couple of small but significant moves this week, dealing for first baseman Ryan Garko (whose bark is bigger than his bat but fills a need at first) and second baseman Freddy Sanchez…
The pretty reliable football-news sleuths at ProFootballTalk.com have a running list going of teams said to have no interest in former Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who is out of prison and job-hunting. (Resume Objective: “Find job as quarterback in city that loves running QBs but is sort of luke-warm on…
I keep a running list of jobs, hobbies and other activities I fear my future daughter will pursue, and near the top of that list — right below stripper, Real World contestant, and Republican — is Girl in Bar Who Wears Logo Tank Tops and Gives Out Shots and Generally…
It’s scary out their in blogland, but we’ll hold your hand. Send us links. Fuel from pee, poop and pond scum. (Colorado Independent) Denver Stiffs and Pickaxe and Roll form like Voltron. (Denver Stiffs) Parole denied for the man who did horrible, horrible things to Kelsey Grammar’s young sister. (5280)…
DenverPost.com this morning is anchored by a story headlined, dramatically, “Marshall may want out.” Huh. I wonder what makes them think that? Was it the time Marshall requested a trade from the team? Or maybe the time he sent a goodbye message on his web site? Or perhaps the time…
This week marks the end of a most bizarre offseason for the Broncos, as players start trickling into Dove Valley for training camp. (Can you “trickle in” on 76-inch rims? Probably not). Of course, you can take in the practices yourself starting on Friday. But just in case you’re not…
