Minicamp wrap up: Winners and losers (and of course, more Marshall talk)
15 Jun 2009 | 3:56 pmWell, it’s been a heck of an offseason, wouldn’t you say? And Brandon Marshall seems to be doing his best to make sure the Broncos stay in the news in upcoming days and weeks, when the rest of the NFL world starts to shut down for a much-needed vacation. I’ll touch a bit on the Marshall situation below … but first, to borrow a line from Josh McDaniels, let’s talk about the players that were actually at Dove Valley for the team’s mandatory minicamp. WINNERS - WRs Jabar Gaffney, Eddie Royal, Brandon Stokely and Chad Jackson: So maybe none of these guys… -
Saturday minicamp notes
13 Jun 2009 | 4:12 pmThe big news out of Broncos’ camp today was the official announcement that Kyle Orton is the team’s starting quarterback. No big shock there, though I was a tad surprised Josh McDaniels decided to end the battle so soon, even though it was clear by midway through Saturday’s practice that Orton was taking all of the first-team reps. McDaniels said he expected the Orton and Chris Simms to continue to push each other, but that Orton had established himself as the clear No. 1. “That certainly doesn’t mean there won’t be competition now or in training camp, because… -
Minicamp odds and ends
12 Jun 2009 | 3:46 pmDOVE VALLEY — Though most of the buzz through the media ranks on Friday morning was about the player who WASN’T at the Broncos’ Dove Valley headquarters, there was plenty of action going on with the players who were there. Here’s a couple of notes and observations: - Your first-team base defense throughout Friday’s workout: linemen Ryan McBean, Ronald Fields and Kenny Peterson; OLBs Tim Crowder and Robert Ayers; ILBs D.J. Williams and Andra Davis; DBs Champ Bailey, Andre Goodman, Brian Dawkins and Renaldo Hill. Second team: linemen Matthias Askew, Marcus Thomas… -
Moreno: A dancing fool
5 Jun 2009 | 3:39 pmWe wrote a couple of weeks back for our print edition (yes, newspapers are still printed on actual paper! pick one up!) about Knowshon Moreno’s victory in a rookie touchdown celebration contest. Well, Friday morning back in Denver, Moreno told us how it went down. Seems Moreno was the mastermind behind several celebrations, not just his own, and helped out No. 1 overall pick Matthew Stafford (his teammate at Georgia) who wasn’t quite so rhythmically-inclined. Moreno’s winning moves included using the football as a chainsaw and cutting down the goal post, and a staged… -
Marshall cleared: A little perspective
2 Jun 2009 | 1:59 pmDENVER — Well, at last a bit of good news for Broncos WR Brandon Marshall. He was notified by the NFL on Tuesday that he would not be suspended during the 2009 season for his arrest on March 1 after he got into an argument with his fiancee’ outside his condo in downtown Atlanta. The off-field behavior of Marshall, as I’m sure everyone with a radio or access to cable television knows, has been quite the hot topic since ESPN aired a 30-minute segment on Sunday about his history of domestic violence troubles with a former girlfriend. He is set to go to trial later this month on…

Is this the last chance for Holocaust restitution?
2 Jul 2009 | 1:34 pmPRAGUE — Stuart Eizenstat, who led the US government delegation to the June 26-29 Holocaust Era Assets Conference in Prague, sat down with JTA for an interview on the eve of the conference.The conference, organized by the Czech government, which held the six-month rotating European Union presidency for the first half of 2009, brought together representatives of 49 countries for what participants said was likely to be the last major attempt to compensate Holocaust victims and their heirs for art and property confiscated or sold under duress during the Nazi era. -

We still don’t know who assisted you — the Justice Department reportedly remains in active investigation mode on that — but we do know at least something of your methods. Although your techniques were not really original, inspired as they were by an until-recently obscure con-man by the name of Ponzi, they certainly achieved new levels of audacity, ambition and scope.We extrapolate…

Broncos Taking Calls on Marshall
2 Jul 2009 | 1:21 pmThis comes as little surprise, and confirms most speculation, but the Denver Broncos are taking calls on wide receiver Brandon Marshall after the disgruntled fourth-year player asked to be traded in June, Adam Schefter reports on his Twitter page. Schefter indicates the Broncos aren’t actively making calls, but are willing to listen to offers. If the right offer comes along (Schefter speculates a first-round draft pick would do it), the Broncos would likely execute a trade. Schefter’s always spot-on, especially when it comes to the Broncos. Again, little surprise, but it does… -

According to the police report Marshall repeatedly asked for his lawyer over and over and the officer let him know each time that he could not have one yet. According the police report this prompted Marshall to say, “That’s b******t, that’s a lie. Why aren’t you guys out there looking for William’s killer? I hate Denver, I hate this city, I hate f***ing city.” Marshall was then escorted to the police headquarters where he… -
Broncos Claim WR C.J. Jones off Waivers
25 Jun 2009 | 2:45 pmPatriots receiver C.J. Jones surveys the field as he runs back a kickoff during practice at Gillette Stadium. (Boston Herald/Matt Stone) C.J. Jones, wide receiver most recently of the Kansas City Chiefs, was awarded to the Denver Broncos Wednesday off waivers. The third-year player out of Iowa and the Canadian Football League rejoins Broncos Head Coach Josh McDaniels after he worked with McD on the New England Patriots practice squad in 2007. Jones (5-11, 195) was released by the Patriots in 2008 and spent the rest of the season out of football. The Chiefs signed him in March 2009 and… -

He was a great Christian man. I learned a lot from him, both as a player and a man.

The Brandon Marshall Outburst
1 Jul 2009 | 7:45 amThings have been quiet around here. Too quiet. That’s why the news of Brandon Marshall’s outburst during his 2007 DUI arrest hit the headlines at an appropriate time. As Marshall upholds his request to be traded, a police report quotes Marshall saying, “I hate Denver. I hope I get traded. I hate this f******* city.” (The Denver Channel) Marshall’s blood alcohol content was above the legal limit with a 0.116 breathalyzer reading. I think people are reading too much into this. The local news had the story at the beginning of their broadcast yesterday evening. -

Michael Jackson And Sports: An Incredible Combo

There’s the L.A. Gear athletic commercial , and Jackson even made an impact in the lives of many athletes such as Kobe Bryant. I’m going to put a different spin on Michael Jackson and sports.

We asked for and got a seat on their patio. I last posted about our brunch there at the end of May. We started with their Charcuterie and chose to do a tasting of three. Our choices were the “duck liver mousse, fig compote and pickled onions“, “lamb sausage and minted yogurt” and the “boudin blanc with… -
ESPN Zone Closes
30 Jun 2009 | 5:06 pmAfter almost 8 years at the Tabor Center the ESPN Zone in Downtown Denver quietly closed its doors on Monday. Rumors had been circulating for months and hit a fevered pitch over the weekend. As was my position on the demise of the Virgin Megastore at the Denver Pavilions, I see this as a positive development for retail in Downtown Denver in the long run. It will not be a slam dunk in re-leasing 24,000 square feet of second floor retail space but it does overlook the 16th Street Mall and opportunities like this rarely present themselves. I contend that this is yet another example… -

6 Apr 2009 | 8:03 pmI was just at Murdoch’s this weekend. This store has been near my house in Highlands Ranch for years and for whatever reason I have never been. Somehow my kids have, they wanted to know if I brought them home candy. They were all too familiar with the rows of bright bags of candy that are at the front of the store. Before today I thought it was only a farm and ranch store, which it has plenty of that. I was surprised to find tools, clothes, gardening supplies and of course, farm and ranch supplies.

Four Seasons Nears Final Floor
24 Jun 2009 | 4:50 amDowntown Denver's Four Seasons, in this photo from last weekend, was up to floor 44. It looks like today they are pouring the concrete for floor 45, the topmost floor. But don't count that as a topping off yet! After floor 45 is finished, the Four Seasons has 117 more feet of building to go. Floor 45 sits approximately 524 feet above the street. On top of that is a crown of 42 feet and then a 75-foot spire, for a total height of approximately 641 feet above the ground, making it Denver's fourth tallest building. (Denver's third tallest, the Wells Fargo "cash register" building, tops off at… -

Paris Observations, Part 2
16 Jun 2009 | 4:42 pmAnother aspect of the scale of cities that was illuminated to me by my recent trip to Paris is the issue of skyscrapers--or lack thereof--and the vitality of the city. One of the interesting debates that goes on in the comments to this blog, as well as in any urban/architecture/planning-type forum or website, is the matter of density and how it is best distributed across the urban core.There are some people that want every new building in Downtown Denver to be the tallest it can be, even if it is at the expense of other new infill projects. One 50-story building, they say, is better than five… -
Final 18th Street Ped Bridge Rendering

Back in May 2007 I posted some early design renderings of the bridge.Here's what is being built:The bridge design features switch-back stairs and elevators at each end, and some high quality materials, such as elevator components clad in copper. The bridge will also have some nighttime illumination. Of course, this bridge is not meant… -

I hope you'll forgive me for the dearth of posts lately, but the past six weeks have been crazy with a bunch of work and other professional events and trips one right after another, followed immediately by a 15-day vacation in Europe. My travels took me to Paris, Amsterdam, and a few other cities in the Netherlands. Of course, I can't wander around cities like those (or any city for that matter) without viewing my surroundings through an urban planning and development prism. So as usual, I'll share with you my observations (and a few photos) of these cities and maybe how Denver…

Another sign we hit bottom? Denver home prices show monthly gain for second consecutive month
30 Jun 2009 | 4:07 pmIn a study out today published by Standard & Poor’s and Fiserv Inc, home prices in Denver increased for the second consecutive month, and show the lowest year-over-year decline of the 20 cities included in the closely watched S&P/Case-Shiller index.

3 Reasons To Put Your Home on the Market NOW!
30 Jun 2009 | 10:14 am1. The first-time homebuyer tax credit has pulled renters off the fence in a big way - $8,000 is a great incentive to make a commitment to a property, and, especially in the $100,000 range as well as the $200-250,000 range, there isn’t anything left to show them! Do you have a cute little condo that you are tired of renting out? Are you outgrowing your home or your neighborhood? Are you just ready to move on up the property ladder? Now is the time, because that tax credit is expiring soon….properties have to CLOSE by December 1st to qualify. So get it ready and get it on the… -
I’M U-SU-C, What are You?
22 Jun 2009 | 10:17 amWell I just got my first glimpse of the new zoning code map for my neighborhood, Sunnyside. According to an article in the recent North Denver Tribune Councilman Rick Garcia said this, ”This means that nearly all of my city council district will be rezoned to Single Unit Residential zoning district.” That’s it in a nutshell, but the issue is much more complex and in the Tribune article Garcia goes into some of the complexity. Go to the New Code Denver website. Find your neighborhood map. Figure out what your new zone will be (I’m U-SU-C!) If you…

Using PwdHash 1.5 with Firefox 3.5
4 Jul 2009 | 3:01 pmI use PwdHash for my passwords – if you aren’t using something like this, you probably should be. I’m sure there will be an update to the PwdHash plugin to make it officially compatible with Firefox 3.5, but until then here are steps to use it on a Mac: Upgrade to Firefox 3.5. Quit Firefox if it’s currently running. Locate your Firefox profile data – it should be in /Users/(your username)/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/(some characters).(your profile). Find the PwdHash extension in your extensions directory – it will be named… -

Open Source Contract Considerations
1 Jul 2009 | 10:30 amBIG FAT DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV. I have, however, been working in the Open Source consulting and development space for a number of years and think this is an important issue for all Open Source consultants to consider. Please consult your own lawyer, don’t blame me, etc. At Crowd Favorite we work primarily with WordPress, but also with many other Open Source projects. We are often working with larger companies that have standard Master Services Agreements (MSAs) or Professional Services Agreements (PSAs). These agreement templates are designed so that… -
Carrington Designer/Developer Showcase
30 Jun 2009 | 4:00 pmWe’ve launched a new feature for the Carrington CMS theme framework, a showcase for designers and developers to show off their Carrington-based sites. We put up the first entry in the showcase (the Carrington web site – very meta) and will be adding a few more sites in the near future; but really we’re excited to see what you have been building with the Carrington framework. Hopefully this is a nice way for us to offer a little publicity for Carrington designers and developers and a nice way for people to see what can be done with Carrington. -

Denver Real Estate Prices Rise 1.5% Since May
1 Jul 2009 | 7:33 pmDenver real estate is in recovery. We’re the baby sapling, taking root and growing strong. The thing is, we never totally crashed and burned like other cities did. Prices went down for sure and according to yesterday’s S & P - Case Shiller Report, we’ve seen depreciation of 4.9% since this time last year. Compare that with Phoenix, down 35.3% year over year. Since last month, Case Shiller reports that Denver’s prices have appreciated 1.5%. That’s an awesome bounce. Some analysts think this may be a seasonal adjustment, and may not signal a recovery. I… -

Buyers Beware - Denver’s Zoning Code Changes Coming Soon
22 Jun 2009 | 8:33 pmDenver’s new Zoning Code is currently in the community feedback phase. The new code has been in the works for several years, and Denver’s Zoning Code Task Force and the Community Planning and Development group are currently seeking public input. There have been several community meetings to review the code in specific neighborhoods, and you still have the opportunity to attend any of the remaining meetings. The changes to the code will be quite drastic in some instances. Currently in Denver, we have R1 (single family), R2 (duplex or carriage house), R3 (multi-family) as our… -
Platte Park/Old South Pearl Farmer’s Market - Weekends in Denver
16 Jun 2009 | 7:58 pmOn Sunday, I rode my new pretty pink cruiser bike to the Old South Pearl Farmer’s Market. One of the wonderful things about being a Denver Real Estate specialist, and especially working in relocation, is that I get to explore the fun things happening in our city and report them to you and to my clients. The Old South Pearl Farmer’s Market didn’t actually have much in the way of produce to offer and I left with my basket empty. If it’s an actual farmer’s market you’re looking for, you may want to try the Cherry Creek Farmer’s Market. I did enjoy…

Chase Jarvis' ADCD Talk: The Consequences of Creativity
4 Jul 2009 | 6:35 amI was recently invited to speak to the Art Director’s Club of Denver and the ASMP about creativity, and subsequently delivered that keynote two weeks ago.
