May Steven Adams' Ankles Rest In Peace After Their Brutal Murder At The Hands Of Jamal Murray
Steven Adams has been embarrassed before. There was a time, not so long ago, when he made the decision to walk around with this terribly creepy mustache in a failed attempt to look like Tom Selleck: ...
Grand Jury Declines To Indict Emmanuel Sanders In Sexual Assault Case
Last week, a grand jury in Harris County, Texas declined to indict Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders on a charge of sexual assault, according to online court records. Sanders had been accused of sexual assault back in the summer, but the investigation was not public knowledge until Thurs...
Nikola Jokic In Peak Form Is Still A Great Time
The Nuggets’ doughy centerpiece Nikola Jokic found himself in a mild slump to start off the new year, averaging just 10 points on 34 percent shooting through his first three games. Last night he posted a restorative 22 points, 11 assists, 12 rebounds, three steals, and a block in a loss to Golden St...

Amari Cooper Knocked Out On Hit From Darian Stewart
Raiders QB Derek Carr led receiver Amari Cooper into a hard hit from the Broncos’ Darian Stewart when he overthrew a ball intended for Cooper. As Cooper reached up to try and grab the pass, he took a hit right to the head from Stewart’s left shoulder, which led to Cooper staying down on the field fo...
Michael Crabtree And Aqib Talib Sparked A Raiders-Broncos Fight
Last season, Aqib Talib and Michael Crabtree had a bit of a kerfuffle when the Denver corner ripped the chain off the Oakland receiver on the field. Today, just four minutes into the Broncos-Raiders rematch, Crabtree went for payback, blocking Talib so roughly that he forced Talib off the field and...
The Broncos Are A Mess
The Broncos started the season 3-1 and looked decent while doing it. But Week 6, after the bye week, brought an embarrassing loss to the Giants, and things have somehow gotten worse since then. Yesterday’s 20-17 loss to the Bengals has them at 3-7 and in last place in the AFC West....
Great Googly Moogly, The Nuggets Can Sure Fill It Up
Entering last night’s game the Denver Nuggets ranked a disappointing 14th in offensive rating on the season. They finished last season fifth in offense, at 110 points per 100 possessions; from December 15 onward—the day they moved Nikola Jokic into the starting lineup as a center—that number was 113...

Brock's Back
Let’s do a quick rundown of what has happened to Brock Osweiler over the last two seasons: With Peyton Manning hurt for a good chunk of the 2015 season, Osweiler played in eight games for the Broncos and did Fine, leading the team to a 5-3 record and throwing 10 touchdowns. He was meant to be Mannin...
The Broncos Might've Had Enough Of Trevor Siemian's Terrible Picks
That was the worst game of Trevor Siemian’s season, and it might be his last. In a 29-19 loss to the Chiefs that felt like even more of a blowout than that score suggests, Siemian threw for 198 yards on 19-of-36 passing, and tossed three interceptions. And I do not use the verb “tossed” lightly; he ...
Scott Brooks's Acting Helped Earn Nikola Jokic A Technical Foul<em></em>
With the Nuggets down five toward the end of last night’s game against the Wizards, Jamal Murray canned a three to make it a one-score game. As the Nuggets walked back to their bench following a Wizards timeout, Nikola Jokic grazed Scott Brooks with his elbow. Brooks immediately whirled around as if...
