A fierce fire erupted in Aurora Friday night, devastating a single-family home near Vaughn and Zion streets—flames raged especially in the backyard, causing major damage.

The Denver Nuggets are reloading their bench with high-impact additions like DeMar DeRozan and Marvin Bagley III, aiming to fix their defensive woes and unlock new offensive possibilities. With Jokic anchoring the lineup, Bagley’s athleticism and versatility could form a dominant two-big unit, especially if Aaron Gordon sits. Last season’s struggles with smaller lineups highlight the need for size next to Jokic, and this roster overhaul could be the key to contending in a brutal Western Conference.

NFL roster cuts are heating up as teams scramble to trim from 90 to 53 players before Sunday’s deadline—balancing talent, analytics, and risk of losing key players to other teams. Sean Payton reveals tough calls on QBs like Sam Ehlinger, RB Adam Prentice (possibly heading to the practice squad), and defensive positions where injuries and tape analysis dictate decisions. The offense looks stable with four tight ends and five wide receivers—including Lil’ Jordan Humphrey—while defense grapples with depth at DL, OLB (Jonathon Cooper’s status uncertain), and ILB (Karene Reid and Jordan Turner making the cut). Cornerback is stacked, making it hard for players like Reese Taylor to make the final 53, especially after a concussion. Safety and special teams are locked in, but every decision shapes the team’s season outlook. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

This November, Colorado’s biggest school districts are hitting the ballot with mill levy overrides—tax hikes to fund essentials like teacher pay and career programs—as they face a tough sell amid rising costs and crowded ballots. Denver, Douglas County, and Jeffco (which hasn’t asked for a tax increase in eight years) are all seeking billions to plug massive budget gaps, with Jeffco alone requesting $133 million after cutting 139 jobs. With state funding falling short and families feeling squeezed, these overrides may be the lifeline schools need—or the hardest sell yet.

Cale Makar just shattered NHL history with an eight-year, $163.2 million contract—making him the first defenseman to earn $20 million annually and locking him in Denver through 2035. Already a two-time Norris Trophy winner and Conn Smythe winner, Makar’s deal eclipses previous records held by Leo Carlsson and Macklin Celebrini, signaling a new era of elite player compensation. Analysts and legends hail him as a generational “unicorn” whose impact on wins and revenue is unmatched. With teams now racing to match such benchmarks, Makar’s contract isn’t just a payday—it’s a statement: the NHL’s financial ceiling is rising, and top talent like him is worth every dollar.

In Denver’s West Wash Park, a 1924 bungalow is being transformed into a sprawling 5,100-square-foot dream home—with six bedrooms, two offices, a basement theater, and a rooftop deck—without tearing it down. The owners chose renovation over rebuild, leveraging Denver’s building code loophole: existing structures don’t need to meet current standards, saving big on costs like foundation work and preserving historic brickwork. This trend is booming across the city, from Tudor-style homes near City Park to LoHi duplexes—all blending old charm with modern luxury. But beware: hidden costs for things like decks or retaining walls can pop up. It’s a gamble between fresh starts and heritage, where history isn’t just preserved—it’s upgraded.

CU Boulder’s legendary International Film Series, founded in 1941 and still screening over 100 films annually, celebrates its enduring legacy under new director Jason Phelps — who rose from student assistant to helm the program after a 25-year career in film. With roots in Europe and a film studies degree from CU, Phelps navigates the challenge of choosing from an ever-growing pool of cinematic gems, often heartbroken by exclusions. This fall’s lineup bursts with excitement: Alex Cox in person, silent films with live piano, a Peter Jackson trilogy anniversary, and “Whiplash” to debut the auditorium’s upgraded sound system — all curated to spark discovery and connection. Phelps’ mission? To broaden horizons, one unforgettable screening at a time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Fanatics Sportsbook just got slapped with a $20,000 fine in Colorado after repeatedly texting a gambler who’d already placed himself on the state’s self-exclusion list — a safety net meant to protect people struggling with gambling. Despite internal training materials sent to their VIP team, the customer received two promotional texts in February — a glaring oversight that critics say could exploit vulnerable players. Fanatics is now auditing their system and retraining staff, following their takeover from PointsBet, whose controversial CU Boulder deal was shut down. With over 1,200 people on Colorado’s self-exclusion list, regulators are determined to ensure companies respect these protections — and keep vulnerable gamblers safe.

Michael Porter Jr. blames the Nuggets’ recent struggles on losing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope after their 2023 title run, arguing that KCP’s departure — followed by other roster moves — triggered a defensive collapse, dropping Denver from 8th to 21st in defensive rating and allowing more threes. He notes they still pushed the eventual champs to seven games without KCP and acknowledges the team still has elite talent like Jokic and Murray, plus emerging pieces like Braun and new additions DeRozan and Johnson — though he admits the championship-level chemistry is missing.

The Broncos crushed Minnesota 34-6 in their preseason finale, showcasing offensive firepower even without key starters. Sam Ehlinger bounced back from an early interception to throw three touchdowns and over 230 yards, including a jaw-dropping scramble-to-score that nearly hit Coach Payton. Second-year receiver Pat Bryant, who didn’t dress for the final game, is already primed for a big role after dominating camp. Rookie Marvin Mims Jr., despite injury setbacks and limited snaps, remains a critical piece. With roster cuts looming and Week One against the Chiefs just around the corner, tough decisions are ahead — and the competition is heating up.

Colorado regulators are launching a major investigation into the Suncor refinery in Commerce City after it emerged as the state’s top emitter of volatile organic compounds — a key ingredient in harmful ground-level ozone. The facility also leads in releasing sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, making it one of the nation’s most polluting refineries. Residents near the site are sounding alarms over health risks and frequent emissions, while state officials vow to push for faster, stronger air quality rules — including giving regulators more enforcement power and improving public alerts during malfunctions. Suncor says it’s committed to upgrades and community support, with opportunities to weigh in on any new regulations.

Janie Bradford Hobbs, the unsung heroine who helped birth Motown’s golden era, has died at 87. Starting as a receptionist in 1958, she became a vital songwriter — co-writing “Money (That’s What I Want)” with Berry Gordy, a track that later defined The Beatles’ sound. Gordy called her an original Motown family member and a visionary who believed in the dream before anyone else. Her legacy echoes through generations of music lovers, and she leaves behind her husband, two children, and two grandsons.

The Broncos crushed the Vikings 34-6 in their final preseason game, spotlighting backups like Sam Ehlinger and Cody Schrader as potential roster keepers—but with tough cuts looming, concerns linger. Ehlinger bounced back with 233 yards and 3 TDs, Schrader dazzled as a dual-threat rusher and receiver, yet cornerback Jahdae Barron’s poor play raises red flags. And the biggest scare? Marvin Mims Jr. exited with a foot injury—another setback for the young WR. With roster cuts fast approaching, the Broncos face a brutal balancing act: keeping stars, rewarding breakout performers, and rebuilding depth—all while managing injuries and limited spots.

Douglas County commissioners just greenlit the ballot language for a November vote that could expand the county commission from three to five members — but with a hefty price tag: $760K to $1.3M annually drawn from the general fund, impacting public safety and transportation. After 20,000+ verified signatures pushed it to the ballot, commissioners were legally required to clarify the financial impact — a move supporters say distorts the original petition’s intent. While backers questioned the rushed timing and wording, officials defended the swift action as a lesson learned from past ballot failures. Costs vary widely depending on administrative setup — from $577K for minimal expansion to over $3.3M for a full Adams County-style structure — all without raising taxes. The clerk remains committed to ensuring election integrity and legal compliance. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

In response, Denver hosted its first-ever Food Justice Summit, bringing together community leaders and city officials to urgently collaborate on real, on-the-ground solutions—and demand systemic support to end hunger.

Englewood Leader Joe Anderson Passes Away | Denver News

The U.S. just struck a jaw-dropping deal with Venezuela, securing control over 65 billion barrels of oil — the biggest energy pact in history, according to President Trump. Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth helped negotiate it with interim Venezuelan leader Delcy Rodriguez, reviving Trump’s long-held vision of reclaiming assets Venezuela seized during Hugo Chavez’s era. With gas prices soaring and Iran’s instability rattling global markets, this move could reshape energy dynamics — though details on how control will work remain murky. It’s a seismic shift in U.S.-Venezuela relations with massive global implications still unfolding. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
