Mile High Stadium Naming Clusterf*ck and Revenge of the Nerds

This week, crews are removing Sports Authority signage from what has been known in recent years as Sports Authority Field at Mile High, presumably because the Denver Broncos are sick of playing in a stadium emblazoned with the name of a company that declared bankruptcy in March 2016 and liquidated all its assets a few months later. Since acquiring stadium naming rights in August of that year, Broncos executives have tried and failed to line up a new sponsor, and a branding expert says the type of tech companies most able to afford the $10 million per year the team wants are hesitant to get involved in a business relationship that could well conjure painful personal memories.

Rashaan Salaam’s Heisman Sells for Nearly $400K, More Than O.J. Simpson’s

The 1994 Heisman Trophy won by CU Boulder running back Rashaan Salaam, who killed himself in a Boulder park circa December 2016, has been sold at auction for $399,608.40. This total is reportedly the most ever for a Heisman, topping the cash paid for O.J. Simpson's, among others.
