Denver blog posts know how to put the biscuit in the basket. Mile High Hockey’s Steve House writes that Patrick Roy’s Avs “hunkered down and clinched their sphincters to hang on to their one-goal lead” last night. Sounds painful. Colorado Pols: Fun with press releases, the Pat Quinn edition. Denver…
Yesterday, Melanie Asmar reported about Denver City Council lifting its 1,000-foot buffer from schools for needle-exchange programs. However, medical marijuana dispensaries within 1,000 feet of schools remain against the rules — a fact mentioned by a slew of our readers, including this one…

One of the highlights of the latest television season to date is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., a sort-of spinoff from The Avengers executive produced by that film’s director, geek god Joss Wheedon, and starring Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson, who proves that dying on the big screen can turn into…

Denver blog posts take it one game at a time. South Stands Denver’s Colin Daniels definitely doesn’t see the Broncos as a lock to bring home the Lombardi Trophy this year. Not that it’s beyond the realm of possibility…. At Mile High Mamas, Sarah Stith, a Boulder mom, shares her…
Denver police officers Ricky Nixon and Kevin Devine, fired for their actions in the 2009 Denver Diner case, aren’t going quietly. Nixon filed a lawsuit against the city prior to his dismissal, claiming that forcing him to give up his gun and work the radar unit violated his civil rights…
Amendment 64 allowed communities to opt out of retail pot industry, and plenty of them have done so. As we’ve reported, weed sales have been prohibited in far more places than they’re allowed. But Pueblo isn’t balking at this new industry. Far from it: The city called on an A64…
Millions of viewers watched Miley Cyrus host Saturday Night Live this past weekend — but how many noticed a cameo appearance by Denver? At least one sharp-eyed Westword reader, who realized that the establishing photo at the beginning of “Mornin’ Miami,” a skit in which Cyrus co-stars as a bummed-out…
The website eBaum’s World is among the most venerable humor destinations on the web for one simple reason: People keep going there to share funny/weird footage, including plenty of folks from Colorado. An example was a recent Video of the Day, in which TV station staffers didn’t appear to know…
If the account offered by the Colorado Springs Police Department is accurate, breaking up with 33-year-old Caja Gray is really, really hard to do. And it may bring some nasty repercussions. Gray has been arrested for assault and arson, after allegedly attacking her former boyfriend and then starting a fire…
In her coverage of Colorado’s early steps toward launching a hemp industry (including last week’s post about the first U.S. hemp harvest in more than fifty years), Melanie Asmar has referred to the plant as “marijuana’s sober stepsister” because it has almost none of the psychoactive ingredient that makes users…
Denver blog posts like parties of all kinds. Colorado Pols: Doug Lamborn and some Tea Party types are abandoning Obamacare defunding demands over the shutdown. The Ralphie Report’s Jon Woods on finding the positives in the CU Buffs blowout loss to Oregon. Talk about a tough job. Big Media’s Jason…

The Denver District Attorney’s Office doesn’t accuse Wayne Sperling and Lorinda Bailey of beating their children — boys ages two, four, five and six, all described as so developmentally delayed that none of them could speak. But prosecutors believe their living conditions constituted child abuse — and Sperling’s arrest affidavit…
In 2011, MapQuest launched mqVibe, a site that attempted to rank the best neighborhoods in many U.S. cities, including Denver. The rankings combined user votes, “interactions” on the main MapQuest site and “external data” to arrive at its conclusions. But the roster has changed since we shared the site’s 2011…
If the folks at Comcast wanted to maximize hatred and inspire customers to explore satellite delivery, they couldn’t have chosen a better time for a cable outage than at halftime of as crazy a Broncos game as any in recent memory — a 51-48 victory over the Dallas Cowboys not…
Target practice using a bow and arrows isn’t usually a problem. But there are exceptions. For instance, hoteliers will likely frown on anyone who takes aim inside a rented room, and they’re even less apt to be understanding if the guest’s response to a request to stop is threatening to…
