Denver Stiffs is the best
I often find myself going to milehighreport for Broncos fans prospectives on my favorite football team, and I often leave disappointed. I don't know if it's the overzealous moderators, the Tebow fanatics, or just vast amounts of orange crush kool aid drank each week, but it contributes to a mob mentality and an atmosphere that is devoid of anything quality.
Perhaps there is some bias because I like basketball more than football and I have read/posted at DenverStiffs for far longer than MHR, but I wanted to express my gratitude to Andrew, Nate, and Jeff for all their hard work and quality posts. I would like thank the posters here who are more level headed and insightful than the "Bronco fans"at MHR. And for some strange reason, I would like to thank Masai Ujiri for being the anti-Bernie Bickerstaff.
Cheers to our home opener and a fun season ahead!
Go Nuggets!

Itsalloverfatman.com is an awesome Broncos blog
But Stiffs is the best as far as a cool/fun blogging community where you can waste time bs’ing about the Nugs or other stuff is concerned
Maya: "What are your first impressions of Denver?"
Mozgov: "I must break you..."
totally agree
I can’t go on MHR anymore. The analysis is alright, but the writing is substandard and the general atmosphere is kind of doltish. Plus with Tebow the comment sections tend to resemble an Oral Roberts University message board. In contrast this site is a shining beacon.

I just like that you can be critical of the team here
And not get attacked by a bunch of fans. MHR is overmoderated, too. So that doesn’t help, either.
Also think it is cool how there can be a range of opinions and no one gets angry.
I disagree with a lot of the posters here. But I like pretty much everyone. Even Andrew.

Thank you for the kind words Kevin, you are awesome. KevinAwesome if you will...
I can’t say bad about MHR, I’ve talked with John Bena and enjoy his work. I don’t comment much, so don’t have experience with that aspect.
But like I’ve said before in regards to my work – I appreciate folks reading and interacting with me and I try to mix it up in the comment section a bit as well. I check this site probably over 100 times a day. I’m a Nuggaholic and have grown to really enjoy the community here. You guys make this blog even better! Without y’all we would just be writing to ourselves.
Can’t wait to get this season going as things already look great. I enjoy the different opinions here and quite enjoy when people feel like they can express themselves freely here. I like that people like Fly Agaric disagree with us, but continue to join in here and offer his take – helps everyone!
Thanks again Stiffs!

I posted this in a haste, but I like that we are an all-inclusive community. We accept each other, even when we are trolling one another. We also have crossed over to other blogs and defended the Nuggets sovereignty – Pounding the Rock, anyone? I know I’m banned there.
At the end of the day, this is a fun place to come, talk sports, and just dick around. I love all you guys, and I have a great feeling about our season!
Oh, and not all the people at MHR are totally bad – KaptainKirk is really, really good.

I have nothing positive to say about Milehighreport anymore
I was banned earlier this year for a post in a game thread that had profanity in it, (it is a game thread/heat of the moment thing) I received a warning, then asked why it seemed to be okay to post a profanity with one letter missing but including that letter was ban worthy and was subsequently banned for it. So I created this profile to resume posting and included a comment in my sig line that stated “formerly banned for language hypocrisy” and was apparently hit with the ban hammer again for that reason alone as I violated no site rules.
The moderators at MHR are a complete joke, they quash any sort of debate that gets the least bit heated, punish some for violating site rules and not others, and apparently have zero sense of humor. Needless to say I will not be creating a third profile nor will I be visiting MHR ever again, guess it is all nuggets and rockies posting from now on!
- Hilehighreport, where moderators ban you for no apparent reason
- Tebow is the future, get on the bandwagon or find a new team, that includes you Elway...
MHH is good too.
3/4 regional blogs on sb nation is not too bad, I suppose.
In terms of a basketball blog, I think it could be better
I mean, I wish that we had more Nuggets fans here, It isn’t bad as we are on par with the Mavs Moneyball and SLC for Jazz in terms of popularity, but we are 30 times smaller than the Blazersedge blog which retains high quality posts. Overall though, I like how this blog is continuing to grow and is diverse in its opinions. Like Fly said above, even though we don’t all agree with each other, at the end of the day we all like the Nuggets, good food and that is good enough from us punching each others lights out. To that, I say cheers.
Atheist for Tebow!

Agreed
There is always room for improvement, but I’ve trolled many sports blogs, but as far as quality goes, this one is the best.

lol.
The thing that disturbs me about MHR is in almost every single post Tebow is mentioned, obviously for good reason, but honestly it is getting extremely played out. The best thing about this site is that even when the Melodrama was going on, there was so much more to be seen with our TEAM, coach and FO, and that way the site wasn’t dumbed down over one continual story. I am a HUGE Bronco fan, but an even bigger nugget fan, but that site has worn me down.
Hear hear!
Must echo KevinAwesome here. Can’t say anything about Broncos blogs, but DS is one amazing spot, thanks to AF, NT, JM and most everyone who rants and raves here. As CloudBurst notes, Blazersedge definitely gives DS a run for its money. But then, we’re NUGGETS FANS.
Disagreement? How could analysis and opinion be of any interest whatsoever in its absence? It’s how we learn about the world, ourselves and each other. Without those boundaries and our assertions of them, there would be no distinctions, and thus no real reason to state anything.

“Yeah man, wow, what a nice day.”
Yawn.
No. More. Stickyball.

Thanks for the compliment 's Kevin...Andy, Nate and I tend to post to our strengths
and let people have their own opinions. I can’t say anything bad about MHR because I don’t post there.

completely agree
I’ve posted here before about how I think this blog benefits from having a much smaller community than MHR.
