I never really liked sports until I had a religious conversion when the Broncos lost to the 49ers in that one Super Bowl. Now I'm obsessed with all aspects of the Denver pro sports world. Oh yeah, I hate college football. It's crap. Talk to me on twitter @johnreidydenver

"And what was once seen as a very smart group of basketball minded people, Nuggets fans will now join the ranks of Rockies fans represented on a quarter inch scroll of idiocy."

"When Dick Monfort said in his introduction of Weiss that, “this is Walt’s job as long as he wants it,” it was yet another mixed message from a team that has no idea what its message is. If the Rockies get on the “Road to 100™” again next year, will the Monforts keep Weiss around because he simply still wants the job? The endless double talk and empty meaning coming out of the team’s mouth-hole makes the shoddy play on the field seem inspired."

Dear Mr. Kiszla...

kiszla-001a"Frankly, I’m thrilled you even knew who I was to block me. But by going after me, you acted just like your nemesis: Rockies PR douche Jay Alves. I’m not sure what denying your often times clever tweets for something I didn’t do has taught me, but it seems a bit Rockies-esque. In short, you out-Alvesed Jay Alves. Congratulations on becoming what you hate most. "

Denver Nuggets: Why Bother?

"It’s a tricky question because fans of the Denver Broncos, having tasted the sweet run off from two Lombardi trophies, won’t settle for anything less than a Super Bowl berth."

"But even as wild an idea as hiring Canseco seems, the Rockies could do worse. And even though they won’t do it, bringing in Canseco for a little sit down would be the greatest thing possible for snarky bloggers, critical columnists and pot-stirring radio hosts."

"@dadboner is the brilliant twitter feed chronicling the exploits of a lout named Karl Welzein: a Homer Simpson come to life, sipping cold ones and listening to Seger like a mid-western renaissance man without any of the class, money or good looks."

Tulo...you'll be a Yankee soon: speculation

"And trading Tulo will be about as popular as the Ubaldo, Chris Drury and Chauncey Billups trades combined, but it will be necessary if the team has any hopes to climb out of the poop filled sewer it currently resides."

Peyton Manning and buyer's remorse

"We all convinced ourselves Manning is the man for the job. But has he regretted his decision to come to Denver as the window on his career rapidly starts to shut? Let’s take a look."

What's so funny about rape and Jerry Sandusky?

"Men joke about rape because it’s a distant, unpleasant reality. Women don’t joke about it because it is a real and horrific possibility. Either way, using humor can sometimes dispel the abhorrent nature of the act. But in Sandusky’s case, we’re not making a joke: society hopes he gets raped repeatedly and experiences even tiny bit of what he inflicted on his victims. "

Tony Carter, you fool!

Denver Broncos cornerback Tony Carter is either one dumb son of a bitch or he’s got a very sick sense of humor. Because when he tweeted “At a late night movie in Denver yall pray for me”, he not only made light of the Aurora theater shootings, but hurt a lot of feelings and made a host of enemies along the way. What would possess a grown man, representing the Denver Broncos, to say something like this in here of all places?

We were all affected by this tragedy and to have someone casually toss off a joke about it is extremely insulting and very disappointing. I’m sure he’ll offer up the usual apologies outside of the one he already used: “No disrespect” But the damage is done. What Carter thought was humorous was not seen the same way by people in Colorado who had to live through it. If Carter wasn’t a member of this community by his association with the Broncos, we’d just write this off as poor taste. But now it seems heartless and wildly inappropriate. We hope he gets suspended for such a shitty thing to say, but he’s already going to have to live the life sentence of being a fucking dipshit.
