Jay Cutler Out to Prove his Arm is Bigger Than His Mouth
Tonight, the Denver Broncos and mouthy quarterback Jay Cutler swagger into Foxboro and will attempt to frustrate the completely neutralized New England Patriots on their home field.

Jay Cutler's Love Affair With His Own Opinions Continues
Is Jay Cutler under the impression that he's under oath every time he's asked a question by the media? Sure, it's entertaining for all of us, but eventually the Broncos quarterback is going to talk himself into trouble. While appearing on Fox's The Best Damn Sports Show Period on Thursday, Cutler wa...
Details In Travis Henry Drug Bust Emerge; Will Soon Become A Martin Scorcese Movie
Below is the arrest affidavit on the Travis Henry drug bust from Wednesday, and it's fascinating reading, or at least as good as a typical episode of The Wire. All the requisite elements for a compelling cop drama are there, including a snitch, a sting operation, a drug ripoff, and Henry himself thr...
Ex-Bronco Travis Henry's New Career Not Working Out So Well
It's safe to say that Travis Henry's last year or so has been a little rough. Signed by the Denver Broncos before the 2007 season, the former Bills and Titans running back immediately failed a drug test (which he challenged and won), then put up an mediocre 691 yards rushing in 12 games, before bein...
College Football Roundup Week 5: The Saga of Destroyed College Gameday Signs
Each week more signs appear behind the stage at ESPN's College Gameday.

Elway Engaged To Former Raiderette
Former Denver Broncos superstar John Elway is engaged—to a former Raiders cheerleader. Traitor bastard! Paige Green, a 41-year-old that Elway met at a golf tournament three years ago, moved to Denver a year after she met the NFL Hall-Of-Famer. John presumably celebrated the engagement in typical Elw...
Stephon Marbury Will Save The Knicks, Nurture Mother Earth
The quote machine that is Stephon Marbury sat down with News 4 New York's Bruce Beck in the backyard of Marbury's Westchester home earlier today and discussed his future with the New York Knicks. Marbury was trying to make the point that he's ready to be a steadying influence on the team, and not, y...
LSU's Jarrett Lee Is A Golden...Beer Pong Expert
LSU fans who remember the limp-wristed second quarter toss against Auburn that led to the easiest interception return for a touchdown of the 2008 season will recognize the hand-eye coordination in the above photo of Lee engaging in extracurricular collegiate activities. This photo (courtesy The Big...
Stephon Marbury's Time As Knick Is Not Officially Over — For Now
Even though it was widely speculated that Stephon Marbury would no longer be in New York this season, new Knicks prez Donnie Walsh says that the noggin-tatted point guard will be working out with the team and all of this talk of a buyout is completely false. Walsh said that speculation was completel...

His song Rock and Roll Part II has been a staple of the Denver sports scene forever, and was most notably heard at Broncos games every time the team got into the end zone.Then Glitter was convicted of having sex with underage ...
Starbury In Flight, Afternoon Delight ...
Stephon Marbury is in the best shape of his life, and is ready to help someone go out and dominate the Eastern Conference. So what do you do if you're the Knicks? Pay him $20 million to go play for the Miami Heat, of course. Next question. The New York Knicks: Making Pickett's Charge look wise by co...
All Of The Lateral Flys In The World Could Not Make Ed Hochuli Feel Better Right Now
After Sunday's spastic whistle-blowing by big-armed referee Ed Hochuli cost the San Diego Chargers a victory in their shootout against Denver, the NFL has acted swiftly and strongly, downgrading the 19-year veteran for his error, which could impact his playoff game status and possibly his career. Th...
Jay Cutler, Diabetic, Shills for McDonald's
The commercial was filmed in June of 2008 and has recently started airing on Denver television. This means the commercial was filmed after Cutler realized he had diabetes. The commercial combines the hilarity of the Coors Light press conference commercials (read:none) but adds an annoying little ki...
When The Whistle Blows
Pity the poor secretary who trudges in to work this morning at the law offices of Jones, Skelton & Hochuli, P.L.C. in Phoenix. Being crushed by an avalanche of fax paper when you open the door is no way to die. Chargers fans spent Sunday evening posting Ed Houchli's work email and phone number all a...
Pole Dancing: The Next Olympic Sport?
One of the major concerns of the IOC over the past few years has been how to garner interest in the Olympics among today's youth. There's been a trend to try and make Olympic sports a bit edgier. For instance, BMX racing and Snowboarding are now featured and there's been some discussion around skate...
Murderball's Back, Baby! (Watch Your Toes)
One U.S. team in Beijing came into these Games with all the pressure in the world on them to succeed after an embarrassing bronze medal in a sport the United States normally dominates.

Monday Night Football (After Dark): Broncos-Raiders
Hope you got all your NFC North love juice out of your system, because now it's time for an AFC West trainwreck with the Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders. And who shall share this endeavor with us in the ESPN booth? Why, it's three Mikes, all with mikes. Mike & Mike's Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic...
Dark Side Of The Locker Room: Stephon Marbury Is Puzzled By My Godlessness
Being a sports reporter is, at times, an absolutely horrible job. Sure you get to watch games, travel and interact with athletes, but there is a horrendous downside. (Which is pretty much everything else.) And this is never more disturbingly clear than when a reporter has their first (or 50th) awful...
Raiders Games: Like Prison, Only With More Darren McFadden
Headiing out tonight for Broncos vs. Raiders in Oakland; it's been about three years since I've been to a game there, and that's too long. I miss the tailgating most of all: the small, drunken children; the charcoal briquettes falling like hailstones (catch one on your tongue for luck!); the many...
