ENGLEWOOD — The Broncos locker room is different now. There is less small talk, fewer games of Connect Four. Media interviews are more direct, concise and Aqib Talib isn't humming love ballads over the soft jams playing through a teammate's iPhone. The reason is simple. The Broncos...

DENVER - The fate of the Broncos' Super Bowl dreams probably will come down to a man who has a dessert named after him. He even designed the dessert. The sweet treat is sold at a restaurant in Wilmington, N.C., and made with acai berries, peanut butter and granola. He swears his...

My favorite track star in Colorado thinks 38-year-old Peyton Manning is "a toddler." She's had four shoulder surgeries. After the last one, the surgeon asked: Do you still want to compete after this? She looked at the doctor as if he had 13 eyeballs. Absolutely! she said. The...

Tables turning? 1 On the long, winding road that is the NFL season, something strange has happened: The Broncos are soaring under the radar. That's what I gather, anyway. Denver has gone from Super Bowl favorite to trailing the Patriots, Packers and Seahawks as the team most likely...

CINCINNATI - He is only 22, an NFL rookie playing for the Broncos. Maybe helps explain why Todd Davis so eagerly expressed his childhood love for the Raiders, why the young linebacker gets hyped up with videos of Broncos nemesis Ray Lewis before every game? "I'm a big Ray Lewis fan,...

DENVER — Mike sent the email back in September. It was addressed to Rahim Moore. Dear Mr. Moore: Please accept my sincere thanks for your comments concerning God. I am currently suffering from Parkinson's disease. And it continued from there. Since that first email, Michael...
