Last Night JaVale McGee Did A Lot Of Great Things, At Least One Bad Thing, And A Very Strange Thing
The Denver Nuggets forced a Game Six in their series with the Lakers last night with a 109-99 win at Staples Center, and JaVale McGee played a big part in the team's success with 21 points, 14 rebounds, and a number of highlight reel plays you can view here....
And Here's A Woman Stumbling Out Onto The Court During Tonight's Nuggets-Lakers Playoff Game [UPDATE]
We're used to our idiots on the field being male and at baseball games, but stereotypes be damned! We had a woman try to join the action in Denver tonight as the Nuggets and Lakers wound down the first half of their Game Four matchup. ...
JaVale McGee's Mom Does Not Approve Of You Fouling Her Son
The Nuggets blasted past the Lakers for a 99-84 Game Three victory last night, and JaVale McGee's 16 points and 15 rebounds had a lot to do with that victory. Alas, JaVale found himself victimized by some rough Lakers play, and his mom (a former pro baller herself) was not fond of what she saw....

Meet The Man Who Tried Out To Be A Denver Broncos Cheerleader
When Sacha Heppell noticed that the Broncos were holding an open call for new cheerleaders last weekend, he decided to give it a go. Although Denver's cheerleading powers-that-be maintained that the squad is solely for women, that didn't stop Heppell from trying to make history. He was cut after t...
As A Thank-You For Luring Peyton Manning, The Broncos Sign Brandon Stokley
Brandon Stokley: great guy. Beloved teammate. Hell of a possession receiver, once upon a time. But he's coming up on 36 years old, gets hurt every year, and racked up a single reception in 2011 before injuring his quad in September before reaching an injury settlement with the Giants. So presumably ...
JaVale McGee Sent Kevin Love To The Hospital With A Concussion
In a season of JaVale McGee doing awesome things—intentionally or unintentionally—his latest act is decidedly less so, as an inadvertent elbow decked Kevin Love and sent the Timberwolves star to the hospital with a concussion in the first quarter of last night's bout in Denver....
Tim Tebow's Sermon On The Hill
If there were any doubt about Tim Tebow's portrayal in the press as the living embodiment of Jesus Christ, this write up of a question and answer session Tebow gave this afternoon is the final nail in palm. Maybe it's deliberately tongue in cheek, but forgive me if I have my doubts....
JaVale McGee In 60 Seconds Goaltends, Misses A Dunk, Falls Down, And Has A Shot Blocked Into His Face
If ever a minute of basketball was the JaVale McGee Experience, this is it. In the second quarter of tonight's Nuggets-Warriors matchup our favorite NBA star did everything for which he's known, from egregiously goaltending, missing dunks, falling down on defense, and finally getting a shot block...
Ty Lawson's Crossover Dribble Literally Busted Ryan Anderson's Ankle
It's generally the go-to descriptor for an effective crossover dribble: "He broke the defender's ankles." Usually, this is a considerable exaggeration—but don't tell Magic forward Ryan Anderson that, because his ankle rolled over like a Suzuki Samurai while trying to guard Ty Lawson late in last ni...
JaVale McGee Dunked Jose Calderon Into The Front Row Last Night
JaVale steals the ball. JaVale runs the break. JaVale goes up for the power dunk and almost knocks a brave but foolish Jose Calderon out of the building. It's all so very JaVale. Great call from the Denver broadcast crew, too....

How The Broncos Got Peyton Manning
It came down to Arizona, Tennessee and Denver. Those three teams, sans Miami, that everyone expected to be on Peyton Manning's radar were the three finalists in Manning's search for a new team. Manning wanted a chance to win, but more than that, he wanted to go where he would have friends. Ken Whise...
The Broncos Took A Smaller Trade Haul Just To Make Tim Tebow Happy
We learned two things about Tim Tebow and Jacksonville today. First, that he pronounces his hometown team's name "Jagwires," and second, that it's absolutely true the Broncos let him choose his destination. He chose the Jets, and the Broncos shipped him to Jersey, despite the Jaguars offering a bett...
Hey, A Jets Quarterback Controversy! Who Would've Thought?
There is no quarterback controversy, Mike Tannenbaum insisted yesterday. But here's one anyway!...
Pat Robertson: Because The Broncos Disrespected Tebow, They Deserve A Peyton Injury
Robertson, appearing on some talky-talky show today, decided that "it would serve the Broncos right" if Peyton Manning was incapacitated by that neck injury. What did they (and he) ever do to deserve that? They treated Tim Tebow "shabbily." In that justification, there's no mention of Jesus, but: Je...
JaVale McGee Does JaVale McGee Thing, Wins Game For Nuggets In His Debut, Because JaVale McGee Is The Best
JaVale McGee has come in for some affectionate ribbing 'round these parts, but nobody better say nothing about his game-winning play in the Nuggets-Pistons game last night. It was McGee's first appearance in a Denver uniform and he made the most of it when it counted. I don't care how many times ...
The Tim Tebow Trade Might Be Held Up Because The Jets Never Read Tebow's Contract
Hold off on throwing away your Chrebet jerseys, Jets fans. The Tebow trade might not be happening because of a five-million-dollar snag....
Obituary For Dead Broncos Fan Says He Hated Peyton Manning And "Wanted Out Before A Deal Was Done"
Jim Driver died on Monday, the same day Peyton Manning agreed to terms with Denver. Driver, 1933-2012, led an interesting life. He was a Navy photographer in the Korean War, transferred from Santa Clara Community College because "the curriculum was too liberal," and spent his later years teaching ch...
