WHAT THE @#$& HAPPENED?!!...

If you're a reader of Denver Stiffs or Pickaxe and Roll and notice that things look very different today, it's because we're proud to announce that Denver Stiffs is now Pickaxe and Roll, and Pickaxe and Roll is now Denver Stiffs.
Second, we believe our skill sets make for a good match. Having just renewed his share of season tickets for 2009-10, Andrew will continue to comment on all things Nuggets as the "voice of the fan." Nate, on the other hand, aims to eventually bring the readers of this blog a unique perspective direct from Nuggets players, coaches and management not being covered elsewhere.
And finally, we feel that this combined site is the best possible forum for our readers to voice their opinions and commentary about the team we love. No two Nuggets blogs have better, more loyal - and more vocal! - readers than Denver Stiffs and Pickaxe and Roll. By bringing you together into one place, we'll have one of the most vibrant fan communities on the web for any team in any sport.

Wow...
Hadn’t been here since the weekend; was very surprised when the page loaded.
I think this move is good for us Nuggets fans, looking forward to the new ‘Denver Stiffs’!
About those ads...
Nate and I agree that the ads down the middle of the page are annoying. We’re going to push to have those removed. Also, the site’s look will evolve over time. But please send us any feedback any time that you think improves the site!

Nice
Good grief Andy! I’m gonna waste my whole lunch break eyeing the new site. Nate it’s nice to have you on board. Now I gotta remember a lot more reader handles.
The sweet part is now you can directly respond to people with the 'reply' button on their post.

Looks Great
Love the new look. Hopefully this will keep out some of the annoying lurkers who have no real input and are just looking to rile up the crowd.
Thanks!
Thanks, Ziller. I’ve been a fan of your and Nate’s work for a long time and it’s going to be really fun to be here!

Love the Merger. Love the Logo.
Just want to say I love the new logo. And given the Nuggets are my western conference team, I look forward to the combined coverage for next season. Should be exciting.

Hey, great look to the new site. I am disappointed that there will no longer be any anonymous posters proposing that the nuggets trade Nene for Lebron James. Almost as glad as I am that Rasheed Wallace has signed so we don’t have to read about people proposing the nuggets sign him. Also, hopefully the signup process will reduce the number of Lakers fans posting to the site. Oh, and I can access the new site from my cell phone! I lost that with the old site when you added the live chat.

I’m jealous of your new logo. Looks great. I need to put in a call to someone. I also look forward to the Jazz taking back their rightful place in the division. Do you guys need a PF?

Awesome
Denver is probably my favorite competitive team. Congrats on the merger, I’ll be creeping around often.

Gonna take me a minute
I guess I’m getting old. I don’t adjust well to change. LOL.
Never read Pick Axe but glad to have additional “inputters” and perspectives to go with the site that brought me to this Nuggets jambalaya here so I’m looking forward to a good read or two outta Nate (seems intelligible enough from what I’ve perused thus far!)
Seriously though, I was an advocate for expansion on the ol’ Stiffs site, but I guess I’m frustrated that I haven’t had enough time to poke around on here yet… Looks like lots of fun! Stay classy Denver!

Sums it up doesn't it!
That is a classic line which I am sure will make it’s way onto posts throughout the years! This will be good – I Can Feel It! I spent a lot of time clicking back and forth between you 2 so it will be nice to have both in one spot. I look forward to all the insight and am curious to know jealous you are of Andrew for his Summer League Experience?
Jealousy ...
I definitely would have liked to been out there for the Summer League as well.
I’m glad he got that experience and to meet as many people as possible, as it will only hopefully help this blog in time. Now had we not had this partnership going and he would have gained some great contacts that wouldn’t help a site I was contributing for … then I may have been jealous. ha.

"Intelligible Enough" ... THAT'S GOING ON MY BUSINESS CARD!!!
Well I’m glad you likey! Andy knows I sometimes come across ‘short on tact and class’ sometimes… which should be on my business card. Didn’t mean to diminish you in anyway on that post though. If you ‘pass muster’ (that’s a good one too) with Andy, you do with me too then… welcome to the family! (God that sounds gay!)

You'll find I don't take offense to much. Great to have you aboard.

FINALLY!!!
Been waiting on this move for quite some time. From the looks of it, this thing is going to pan out very well. The new logo is probably the coolest of any SBN blog I have ever seen. I LOVE IT! This is like Marvel meets DC, the NBA meets the ABA, Freddy meets Jason (ok, maybe not that last one). I hope the team continues to get better and maybe sometime in the near future Karl will be relieved of his duties so we can finally make a serious push for the title (all my Denver Stiffs know where it’s at)! Again, congrats Andrew and Nate. Let’s get this party started!
Cheers
I’m still gonna miss the virtual chat room from the old stiffs. This should be awesome tho, I’ll have to get used to the blue/gold layout and the retro rainbow logo
Welcome aboard
Nate is a MONSTER KID, I haven’t been here long but this dude does his thing.
Melooooooo
Nice
AS a reader of almost all 4-5 Nuggets Blogs this is really cool. SB nations feature are definately heads above any other blogs available so putting the largest audience of Nugs fans will be cool. Not to mention we will now have some serious backup against the blazer horde on SB nation. ; )
so glad that my two fav nuggets blogs joined together....
im a huge fan of both nate’s and andrew’s writing
a great blog for all of our favorite team
GO NUGGZ
How could any Nuggets fan not like this?
As an avid reader of both these blogs, I am very happy with this. Both Andrew and Nate are very knowledgable and this will provide a home base for everything Nuggets. Oh and no anonymous people is an awesome idea. I’ll be looking forward to this as well as the 2009-10 season.

Die hard Nuggets fan
Honestly, i’m a little scared of this. I liked Denver Stiffs because there were only a dozen or so who regularly comented, so if you made a good statement or asked a good question, you got a good answer. With this many people, you are going to get too much input. And how many people are going to read all 80 comments? i was hoping for a blog, not a novel.
I hope it works, and i’m in for now. I just hope the overzealous (that’s probably spelled wrong) commenter who acts like a 14 year old on 25 jolt cola’s at 3 in the morning stears clear. I like quality input, not quantity.
I'm with you on that
I see where you are comming from, but you have to remember that the Nuggets are STILL, after all their success, behind in popularity to the Broncos, Rockies and Avs for the most part. Not quite as many people follow the Nuggets, and basketball in general, so there won’t be as many people. Or at least that’s what I think.

nice
good work gents. Since I bounced back and fourth between both blogs, this will definitely be a time saver, and continue to provide the great commentary and up to the minute updates that I need for my Nuggs fix.
Content
This site will be better because of the merger, but I liked “Pickaxe and Roll” and I’m not too fond of “Stiffs” cause it’s not a very creative name like its predecessor. Oh well, c’est la vie!
