Denver is a four-sport town but everybody knows that when it comes to sports talk radio it’s football chatter that pays the bills. Recognizing that simple fact the folks at 104.3 the Fan smartly carved out an entire hour – from 9am to 10am weekdays – specifically for football, college and pro. The Fan Football Hour is hosted by…...
Our annual NFL wager-off rolls on. Much like in the real NFL the leaders have begun to pull away. Producer Scott Stafford, our Buddy Snyder and Brandon Spano have more than the imaginary $10K bankroll they began with while Colin, Reidy, Dan Fellman and Castle Rock Josh all have far less. But there’s time to turn things around since the…...
Kroenke Sports Enterprises probably won’t see any of its Colorado sports teams earn a major trophy anytime soon but its regional sports network, Altitude Sports and Entertainment bagged a big one in Vic Lombardi. The soon-to-be-former sports anchor at Denver’s CBS4 will join the Altitude broadcast team on January first. Vic’s contract with channel 4 expires at the end of…...
It’s been a rough a couple of weeks for Peyton Manning, to say the very least. It’s difficult to imagine what the prideful veteran must be going through. On the 8th of this month Manning limped out of “The House that Peyton Built,” also known as Lucas Oil Stadium, after getting beat by the kid who replaced him in…...
It was a successful week for your Denver Broncos as it was for most of the players in the annual South Stand Denver wager-off. Almost everyone was money ahead this week. The battle rages on through the Super Bowl as our bettors attempt to maximize their bankrolls each of which began at $10,000 imaginary dollars. Here’s how week 11 went…...
Thanks to @TheVictors95 on Twitter for the inspiration. Works on so many levels....
It wasn’t a real great week for old number 18 nor was it for most of the players in the South Stands year-long NFL wager-off. A couple of them managed not to lose their imaginary money, though. Our contest rolls on through the playoffs. Here are the results after week ten. Colin’s bets ($7,950): New Orleans -1 @ Washington $1000…...
The Broncos may be 7-2, firmly in command of the AFC West and in contention for the 2-seed in the AFC but to listen to the chirping in the Denver media one would think they’re a walking disaster. Denver has dropped two in a row so with seven games still to be played some pundits have decided it’s finger…...

Our intrepid wagerers continue to look for holes left by the linemakers for their annual year-round wager off contest. All seven of our bettors have had their ups and downs but week 9 might have been the bloodiest yet for their imaginary bankrolls. Here’s how it went down: Colin’s bets ($11,950): New Orleans – 8 VS Tennessee $2,000 -2000 Denver…...
Dear legislator or lawmaker, Like millions of Americans I am a casual player of daily fantasy sports. I don’t play every day, I don’t play with money I cannot afford to lose and I stick to playing the sports I follow most closely – NFL football and NBA basketball. I have been playing at DraftKings for a little over three…...
It must have been a helpless feeling. This past Sunday evening at Lucas Oil Stadium, AKA “the House that Peyton built”, he paced the sidelines waiting for his chance to take the field again. Peyton Manning was a mere three yards from breaking the all-time passing yardage record for NFL quarterbacks and one win away from eclipsing Brett Favre as…...
“I just don’t give what you all say that much merit” – Peyton Manning Peyton Manning looked as cool as a cucumber in his post-game press conference following the 29-10 drubbing the Broncos put on the Packers on Sunday night. His bravado was as tuned as ever. He had looked almost as confident during the game itself, tossing for…...
This week was a bloodbath in our season-long NFL wager-off as most of our seven bettors lost copious amounts of fake money. One had a second straight spectacular week, however. Brandon Spano now leads the annual contest by a pretty wide margin. Here’s how it all went down in week eight. Colin’s bets ($15,950): Green Bay -3 @ Denver $1,500…...
Friends of the Fancast Woody Roseland and Brandon Perna are each really funny dudes and each make great videos for YouTube so when we learned that they were working together we could not wait to share their latest. Here’s their pretend commercial for FanKings, a daily fantasy site with an edge....
The sports radio listeners of Denver don’t have Nate Lundy to kick around anymore. The former program director has been relieved of his duties at 104.3 the Fan. Management at the station pulled the plug on Lundy on the morning of Wednesday, October 28th and, according to sources within the station, his removal came completely out of the blue.…...
Say goodbye to Bo “Stoney” Reynolds and Gary Ganja. After less than a half-year on air “Smokin 94.1 FM” is cashed. The pot-themed rock station and its translator, which previously housed Mile High Sports Radio (now at 1340 AM) have changed hands once again. This time the buyer is none other than IHeart Radio, formerly known as Clear Channel.…...
My daughter is eight. She’s tall – the tallest kid (female or male) in the third grade. Unlike her nonathletic father, she’s quick and fast and wiry and good at sports. She has enjoyed playing soccer since pee-wee and has recently developed an affinity for volleyball. The local high school offers camps in the summer and in the fall…...
Our pal Brandon Perna is back this week with a few obnoxious pointers for the Broncos coaching staff. Check out Perna’s YouTube channel, That’s Good Sports HERE!...
The seven wagerers in our annual season-long South Stands NFL Wager-off place five imaginary bets each week. They can wager no more than 50% of their pretend bankroll but must put a minimum of 10% of it on the line. Of the five bets they place each week one must be on the Broncos tilt – assuming there is…...
