Over the years, fan behavior at the annual CU-CSU matchup known as the Rocky Mountain Showdown has varied from exuberant to way too exuberant. With that in mind, the CU Police, who’ll be handling security at this year’s version, on Sunday at Folsom Field in Boulder, have released a document…
Something weird happened during the Broncos’ last preseason game, against the Super Bowl runner-up Arizona Cardinals: The team didn’t look terrible and actually won the game. As a result, the post-game thread on the Mile High Report blog has a less suicidal tone than has been typical in recent weeks,…
Fit-throwing, currently suspended Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall — our most recent Shmuck of the Week — is back in the news again, although not over accusations of slapping anyone around, surprisingly enough. Reports surfaced that the New York Jets want to see Marshall in green and white, if not quite…
Pat Bowlen is frequently referred to as one of the best owners in professional sports — at least in these parts. But in a recent item (dubbed “too short for a column:), he’s slapped around plenty by someone who’s observed the Broncos closely over the years: ESPN’s Rick Reilly, a…
With prodigy J.R. Smith suspended for the first seven games of the 2009-2010 season thanks to his guilty plea in a New Jersey crash that killed one of his friends (and for which Smith served jail time), the Nuggets could use some help at guard. And a prominent one’s available:…
I confess: I really wasn’t sure why the Colorado Rockies went to the trouble of picking Jason Giambi off the discard pile last month. But now I know — the lucky thong. The lucky gold thong, that is, which Giambi lets teammates wear to help them break out of a…

Coming in to the 2009 season, the Denver Broncos seemed set at the quarterback position. (Pause for peals of laughter.) Now, things are considerably more unsettled — sort of like passengers on the Titanic. As you may have heard, Jay Cutler is gone; Kyle Orton, the man traded from Chicago…
When the University of Colorado at Boulder insisted on staging this year’s “Rocky Mountain Showdown” with the Colorado State University Rams at Folsom Field — supposedly to guarantee that at least six games would take place at CU’s stadium this year — many observers feared the Buffs’ thirst for revenue…
Wish I hadn’t seen it coming, but I did. In a Friday blog, I wrote that there was a very real prospect of the Colorado Rockies getting swept by the San Francisco Giants following their two consecutive Coors Field losses against the Los Angeles Dodgers. And so it came to…
The Broncos’ 27-17 loss to the Chicago Bears last night didn’t start out so badly thanks to a crowd whose berserker rage fired up the defense throughout the first quarter. Once the throng’s energy level eased up, however, members of the Denver D suddenly remembered that they suck balls –…
We don’t like to repeat shmucks around here. There are plenty of multiple offenders, sure, but there’s lots of new blood every week, too, and this week was no different. We could have shmucked the kid who bashed in the DNC offices, if only for unleashing the right’s loony pack…

Poor Brandon Marshall. The Broncos didn’t renegotiate his contract and shower him with the millions he thinks he deserves, likely because of his iffy hip and a history of off-the-field incidents capable of making any woman in his vicinity scream in terror and sprint in the opposite direction. But instead…
In an August 24 blog, I noted that commentators had been hyping the Colorado Rockies’ homestand against the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers as the most important in team history. I questioned that hyperbole at the time, and given that this particular stretch sputtered out with two…

Chicago remains giddy at the thought that former Broncos QB Jay Cutler will return the Bears to the promised land. But fans might not be too thrilled to hang out with the petulant passer, as indicated by excerpts from a Cutler profile set to run in ESPN The Magazine’s September…

It’s happening again. Just as in 2007, when the Colorado Rockies’ World Series run coaxed people who would usually rather shave their body with a rotary lawnmower than watch a baseball game to plant themselves in front of their set, viewers are clicking on FSN Rocky Mountain’s coverage of the…
Back in March, at the height of Jay Cutler’s bitchfest, I laid out the five teams to which I hoped Culter would get traded — places I was sure he would hate, and places where I hoped he would fail. I’m a sadistic, juvenile little man like that. The fallout,…
Winning NFL coach Tony Dungy thinks the stars of tomorrow deserve to get off to a positive start, and that’s why, for the first time ever, he’s hosting Tony Dungy’s RED ZONE ’09, a special Fathom Events screening tonight at more than 450 theaters nationwide, including eleven here along the…
