This week, we shared Tom Brady hate memes and ten reasons not to hate Tom Brady — sort of. But this is the most satisfying post of all — four images of the fourth quarter moment Brady realized that his New England Patriots were going to lose to Peyton Manning…
Our post about a Denver man who says he was charged an extra $100 by a Kansas hotel because he was suspected (incorrectly) of smoking marijuana in his room just because he’s from Colorado got our readers talking. Among the topics was alleged pot profiling of cars with Colorado plates…
Denver blog posts like making a splash. At our Cafe Society blog, Patricia Calhoun shares the comment of a reader who thinks a high hipster ratio means a bar can’t be a dive. Big Media’s Jason Salzman quotes Tom Tancredo as saying Republicans won’t beat John Hickenlooper on gun issues…
Sinice 2008, Colorado voters have repeatedly rejected personhood ballot measures, each time by wide margins. But another version of the proposal has already been certified for the November 2014 election — and a group of anti-abortion legislators have just introduced a bill, HB 14-1133, with very similar language. A pro-choice…
Broncos receiver Eric Decker does a lot more than almost run back punt returns for touchdowns before falling down, as he did last week in a playoff game against San Diego. He and his wife, country singer Jessie James, have turned themselves into a virtual brand via oodles of photos…
Earlier this week, after we published a gallery of Tom Brady hate memes, a number of our readers called us out, arguing that “hate” shouldn’t have been used in this context. (We didn’t really hear similar complaints over a collection of Philip Rivers hate memes, but we digress.) And so,…
No matter how the AFC Championship game between Denver and New England turns out, the Broncos playoff run will turn out well for Justin Staley. Why? Staley’s an owner of Mile High Medical Cannabis, whose location, at 1705 Federal Boulevard, is only steps away from Mile High Stadium. Last week,…
Major streets near Cheesman Park were shut down for hours yesterday, with Denver police enforcing closures from mid-afternoon well into the evening. What happened? A man reportedly fired shots out of his apartment in a building near 10th and Race. When police finally gained entry, however, they found his body:…
We love it when a Comment of the Day starts a new conversation — and that’s precisely what happened with one reader’s take on pundits critical of Colorado’s legalization of recreational marijuana. Here’s a post by a reader who thinks today’s cannabis can’t truly be compared with the pot a…
Denver blog posts would like a double. The writers for our Cafe Society blog share their list of the top ten dive bars in metro Denver. Talk about tough duty. Denver Urbanism’s Dan Malouff on a possible boom in streetcars. Mile High Report’s Jon Heath shares a video of Peyton…
As seen by CNN’s decision to assign a reporter (who got high as a kite) to spend a week covering Colorado cannabis, the national media remains fascinated by the state’s launch of recreational pot sales. A case in point is the eruption of attention for the installation of pot amnesty…
In recent years, there have been plenty of complaints about the supposedly intrusive nature of airport searches conducted by Transportation Security Administration personnel. Now, however, Highlands Ranch mom Jamelyn Steenhoek has filed a criminal complaint with Denver police accusing one agent of sexually assaulting her during a search. Details about…
A hat tip to Denver Egotist for alerting us to a clip starring CNN’s Randi Kaye, who appears to have really enjoyed the week she spent covering recreational marijuana sales in Colorado. Especially hilarious: A giggly, occasionally incoherent Kaye looking absolutely shit-hammered during a conversation with host Anderson Cooper thanks…
Last October, we shared a list of Colorado’s twenty most wanted sex offenders. But Denver has its own roster. It’s more than 150 strong, with all of the men and women on it wanted for failing to register after sex-crime convictions. To give you a feel for those at large,…
Around this time last year, we began hearing reports that cars with Colorado license plates were being profiled by law enforcers in other states looking to make marijuana busts. But are similar assumptions being made about Coloradans even after they reach their out-of-state destinations? That’s the claim of one man,…
Update: Two juveniles were taken into custody following the explosion of what’s been described as a “chemical device” at SkyView Academy charter school. At least five people required treatment at an area hospital; see our previous coverage below. Now, authorities are detailing a possible charge against the pair for possessing…
We received a lot of feedback from our post about a driver who crashed into State Patrol vehicles while allegedly under the influence of pot, with much attention paid to a spokesman’s concerns about people new to pot taking the wheel. Among the comments is this one, from a reader…
Denver blog posts can go all night long. At our Backbeat blog, Leslie Simon wonders why there’s such a stigma against jam bands? South Stands Denver’s Colin Daniels declares the AFC Championship game forecast to be awesome. Colorado Pols on “UdallGate” — which isn’t something he uses to get into…
Richard Dolin insisted that his baby daughter — five-month-old Marlayna, seen here — received many if not most of the injuries that eventually took her life from rolling off a couch onto a concrete floor. But prosecutors didn’t buy this explanation, pointing to shocking injuries completely inconsistent with this explanation…
Last month, CU professor Patti Adler was called on the carpet over a prostitution skit that’s long been part of a class entitled “Deviance in U.S. Society,” with Adler supporters blasting the university for what they saw as attacks on academic freedom and Adler personally. In the end, the administration…
Back in October, the Denver Post laid off several people, but quite a few others are leaving voluntarily, with the sports department, a key to the paper’s pageview prowess, being especially hard hit. Three Broncos reporters have left in a span of just over a year, including Joan Niesen, who…
In the week leading to the Broncos’ playoff game against the San Diego Chargers, we had a lot of fun hating on QB Philip Rivers and his supposed bolo-tie mojo. And to make things even better, Denver won! With that in mind, we focus our good-natured ire at the Broncos’…
