Prior to yesterday’s ultra-frigid Broncos game against the Titans, the story line was simple: Peyton Manning plays lousy in the cold. Well, check that. Manning threw for 397 yards and four TDs in a 51-28 romp, and in an interview with KOA after the game, he told the author of…
Update: On Wednesday, we told you about a hearing in the case of Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig, who said the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop had refused to bake them a wedding reception cake for a ceremony to be held in Massachusetts that September. Mullins and Craig claimed discrimination, and…
Yesterday, we shared a batch of storm photos submitted by 9News viewers while noting the absence of shots featuring snowy patios in the wake of anchor Kyle Clark’s rant on the topic. We found his take hilarious, but this reader doesn’t agree…

It was a case as weird as it was disturbing and tragic. Back in February 2011, the bodies of Ronald Ford and Ramiro Sanchez were found in their west Denver home, and shortly thereafter, cops started searching for a cross-dresser known as Ms. Puppy and later identified as Daryl Rasmussen…
As you might have guessed from posts like 2010’s “50 reasons we’re glad we live in Denver and not the United States,” we think there’s no place better than the Mile High City. And it turns out that the folks at The Delicious Day agree. The site’s post declaring Denver…
Why are the 2013 Denver Broncos so good? Daniel Salazar, a filmmaker and photog who’s worked with El Centro Su Teatro, among other institutions, has a theory: They’re actually space aliens! There’s plenty of tongue-in-cheek evidence throughout Salazar’s new video — and we’ve got to admit that quarterback Peyton Manning…
As we’ve reported, yesterday’s morning low of -15 degrees Fahrenheit was one of the ten coldest temperatures ever recorded in Denver, and the night before was nearly that cold — a deep, deep chill that appears to have prompted a reportedly suicidal CU-Boulder student to head to Chautauqua with the…

At this writing, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office hasn’t released any photos of thirty-year-old Mackenzie Mavis, who was recently busted for burglary.

Over the years, we’ve written on numerous occasions about suicide-by-cop incidents, in which an individual who wants to die apparently tries to goad police officers into ending his life for him. Yet few situations seem as clear-cut as one involving Jamie Strickland, whose 911 call includes the line, “If they…
While a just-concluded storm brought less snow than originally forecast to Denver metro — but plenty of bone-chilling temperatures — the mountains were dumped on in a huge way, and the folks at Aspen/Snowmass couldn’t be happier. “OVER A FOOT OF POW and still coming down!” exclaims the intro to…
During Peyton Manning’s second season as a Denver Bronco, we’ve overheard quite a few conversations between guys that go something like this: “I’m not gay, but if I was, I’d really go for Peyton Manning.” Why have so many straight dudes in these parts developed a Manning crush — a…
At 5:53 a.m. this morning, according to the National Weather Service, the air temperature in Denver sank to -15 Fahrenheit. No denying that’s an incredibly bone-chilling number.
