For the past year or so, Broncos receiver Eric Decker and Jesse James, his country-music-singing beloved, have topped the hottest local athlete/girlfriend list. But it looks like they've got some competition from the Colorado Rockies' Josh Rutledge and Laura McKeeman, his significant other. A former Miss Florida, McKeeman works at Fox Sports -- hence her designation as one of the 25 hottest sidelines reporters by Complex.com -- and Rutledge ain't so bad, either. Check out the photographic evidence below.

Former defensive player of the year Charles Woodson had the chance to sign with either the Super Bowl-contending Denver Broncos or the lowly Oakland Raiders. And last night, he chose the Raiders.

Having played in Oakland for eight years, Woodson should know as well as anyone that the Raiders suck. Must've slipped his mind. So, as a reminder, we present this gallery of Raiders suck memes, perfect for Woodson to ponder next year, when Oakland's not in the playoffs and the Broncos are. See them below.

Dr. Bang Bang. More pics below.

This week's feature, "Paging Doctor Bang Bang," tells the story of Kimmy Kimmy Bang Bang, a.k.a. Kim Wilms, a foot-and-ankle surgeon by profession and a badass blocker and jammer on the track with the Denver Roller Dolls. Wilms doubles as the roller derby league's unofficial in-house doctor, assisting skaters with the sprains and bruises that come with playing the fast-paced contact sport. Over the past two years, she's also operated on several skaters' broken ankles.

Some of the injuries were especially gruesome -- and we've collected photos of them for you, dear reader.

No, it wasn't a surprise the Nuggets lost 92-88 to the Warriors last night to get bounced in the NBA playoffs' first round -- again. But it was a gut-shot, since this was supposed to be the year the Nugs made a deep run.

Who's to blame? Plenty of names come to mind, George Karl and GM Masai Ujiri among them. But rather than us do an autopsy, let the frustration, rage, disappointment and, on the part of Warriors' fans, delight of Twitter Nation speak for itself. Here's a sampling of the reaction.

Hard to believe, but it's only been a little more than thirteen months since Tim Tebow was traded by the Broncos to the New York Jets -- and an unlucky thirteen it's been. Tebow went from being the talk of the NFL thanks to his series of miracle victories for the Broncos to a high-profile splinter-collector.

Now, Tebow has been cut by the Jets, prompting a whole new round of web ribbing from online memers. Check out a sampling of the images below while you feel lucky that Timmy is no longer Denver's problem.

The Nuggets have made reaching the playoffs only to lose in the first round a tradition during the George Karl era. That was all supposed to change this year, though. Most wins in a single season since the Nugs joined the NBA. A third seed. Home court advantage against a team -- the Golden State Warriors -- that couldn't match up with Denver this year and had lost its only All-Star, David Lee. And yet, after another loss last night, the Nugs are on the brink of elimination.

What's gone wrong? Just about everything.

With the 28th choice in last night's NFL draft, the Denver Broncos selected Sylvester Williams, a defensive tackle from North Carolina seen here.

We won't be certain for years if this was a wise decision or a terrible one -- but we've already got a mighty good idea which players should be ranked as the best and worst picks of all-time.

Look below for our top five in both categories and re-experience the agony and the ecstasy.

Earlier this month, we featured a gallery of photos from Denver Broncos cheerleader tryouts -- and it didn't take long for supervisors to assemble a winning team for this next season. We've got the first squad photo below.

But that's not all. A number of slots opened up because several longtime cheerleaders are moving on. We've assembled photos of those moving on, along with their goodbye messages to fans.

First up: Your 2013-2014 Broncos cheerleaders:

LenDale White.

Sean Azzariti (who we've featured in this space in the past) is a veteran of the Iraq War, medical marijuana patient, an advocate for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress who want to be able to use cannabis to help them cope, and a cannabis enthusiast.

Azzariti also happens to be an NFL fan, and this past weekend, he spotted free agent running back LenDale White inside the medical marijuana patient area of the High Times Cannabis Cup. And White was cool enough to stop and take a picture with Azzariti. Larger version below.

It's been an exciting NBA regular season for a lot of reasons, including the Miami Heat's 27-game winning streak and the epic battle between Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant for the scoring title. But don't overlook the Denver Nuggets, who had one of the best season's in franchise history. The team exploded following the All-Star break, and last night, they locked up the three seed -- meaning they will face the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs. Who has the edge? We've broken it down into five categories to determine who will come out on top.
