As the sports world waits for tonight’s announcement about where LeBron James will sign (right now, it looks like he’ll be Miami-bound), Nuggets fans are left to wonder if Carmelo Anthony will be looking for a Denver exit in the near future. Logic says “no,” but his decision to sell…
When Tim Tebow jerseys were the biggest sellers among members of the 2010 NFL draft class, you didn’t think it would last, did you? Oh, ye of little faith. Tebow-related sales have been saving Colorado’s economy one jersey at a time for months, and they’re still going strong…
Guess which teen heartthrob wants to chat up Carmelo Anthony when he’s in town for a concert tomorrow? None other than Justin Bieber, the throbbiest heartthrob since that swishy-bang-ed kid from High School Musical, Dreamy McDreamEyes. Earlier today, Bieber tweeted Melo’s bride-to-be, Lala Vazquez, with a request: “Yo @lalavazquez tell…
Nothing’s nicer for a husband-to-be than to be treated like an object of affection amid his wedding lead-up. But for Carmelo Anthony, the person spraying him with the most love these days isn’t his intended, Lala Vasquez. It’s Amare Stoudemire, who’s spent much of his time since signing to new…
On Sunday, hundreds of military veterans in wheelchairs will gather in Civic Center Park to kick off the 30th annual National Veterans Wheelchair Games, which are being hosted for the first time in Denver. Events include wheelchair basketball, weightlifting, trap shooting and quad rugby — a fast-paced game so rough…
These days, Denver seems to be pumping those pedals like never before, thanks to initiatives like the city’s new B-cycle bike-sharing program. But it turns out the city has always been bike crazy, with more bikes per capita than any other city in the country around the turn of the…
On Wednesday, with Carmelo Anthony trade rumors circulating, we presented a scenario that would keep him a Nugget. But if that’s his plan, why is he selling his house? Yep, Melo has put his Polo Ridge Estates mansion on the block for $9.5 million — and as you might expect,…
The Adult Swim show Squidbillies offers up a parody of our own Tim Tebow, more or less. “Tom Treebow” is still clad as a Florida Gator as he talks about seeing Jesus on a tree stump. “Tom’s had a lot of concussions in the last week,” a character explains an…
Given the debate over whether Kyle Orton, Tim Tebow or Brady Quinn should start for the Broncos, it’s easy to forget that last year, the Denver Post’s Woody Paige actually called for Chris Simms to get the gig. Problem was, Simms sucked so hard when he got the chance to…
Mark Kiszla’s Denver Post column about the prospect of the Nuggets trading Carmelo Anthony is getting a lot of national run, even prompting a fresh piece in USA Today. But while this scenario isn’t beyond the realm of possibility, there’s an equally strong argument for a Melo-sticks-around scenario, with a…
Thanks to media hype about everything from his classical beauty to his autographing skills, Tim Tebow has attracted haters and worshippers alike. Count TebowZone.com among the latter group. The site seduces folks to sign up (for free) with a list of the 51 reasons Tebow’s better than Superman…
Today, John Elway officially turns fifty, but the celebration’s been going on for over a week, with Rascal Flatts playing a special show to celebrate Big John’s latest landmark. That prompted a gusher of love on Elway’s Facebook page, with a note from No. 7 prompting a confession of man…
Lala Vazquez may not be the queen of all media yet, but she’s in the running. She’s the cover girl on the debut issue of the new mag Juicy and her forthcoming nuptials with Nuggets baller Carmelo Anthony will be the subject of a VH1 reality series to premiere on…
The Rockies may have lost to the Red Sox last night, but they won with Sandy Snow. Earlier this season, Snow had been breastfeeding her daughter, Ashlie, at a game when Coors Field personnel asked her to move out of view, even though only Ashlie’s toes were exposed. Snow was…
Reading last night’s live Denver Stiffs NBA draft thread the morning after is simultaneously funny and sad. Funny because of the range of emotions. Sad because the Nuggets didn’t manage to accomplish anything, leaving them a good team, but not nearly good enough to guarantee that Carmelo Anthony will want…
In a post yesterday, we noted that Tim Tebow’s autographed cards are worth more if he supplements them with Bible verses. Tebow is also renowned for putting verse references on the eye black he wears under his waterfall-like orbs during games. But that doesn’t mean a statue of him commissioned…
After hitting a two-run homer that put away the vaunted Red Sox last night, Jason Giambi said, “This could be one of those games when you look back on the season and see this as a turning point” — and he’s right. But we won’t know for a while if…
On April 20, Colorado Rockies president Keli McGregor was found dead in a Salt Lake City hotel room. He was just 48 and apparently in terrific health. Nevertheless, the Salt Lake medical examiner’s office still hasn’t released an autopsy and toxicology report and may not do so for another month…
Since the Broncos drafted Tim Tebow, the national-media hype has been off the charts, with Tebow haters clashing with fans who worship him. Leading the PR parade is ESPN, whose Tebow focus has made it a joke according to at least one commentator. But the net’s not backing off. Latest…
Last week, my wife and I accompanied our seventeen-year-old twin daughters on tours of four Big 12 campuses. Included among them were Texas and Baylor — and at both of these stops, counselors took the opportunity to ridicule the University of Colorado, with a Baylor rep making the point that…
The Nuggets’ swan dive this past season pretty much corresponded directly with health issues that kept George Karl away from the bench. So it’s a great sign that Karl showed up for a pre-draft workout today, despite the fact that the Nuggets don’t have a pick for this week’s draft…
When Saturday’s World Cup match between the U.S. and England ended in a tie, a lot of casual American soccer fans — who wanted to see America kick some foreign ass — were baffled. A tie? What kind of real sport ends games in a tie? In America, there’s hardly…
