Fantasy footballers, brace yourselves for another backstabbing season of forsaking the Broncos just cuz you need Peyton, T.O. or some other fool to score you some more TDs. Broncos play Miami at 11 a.m. MDT

You've heard the tune; now watch the video:
"Panda," by Dungen

While my co-worker and I were toiling away Saturday night, the office landlord was throwing a youth tennis fund-raising par-tay outside. So in addition to Del the Funky Homosapien's "Mistadobalina" running through my head, there was also the broadcast of the U.S. Open women's final booming from the courtyard. They offered us free booze and eats. I opted for the free tiramisu. Three pieces. Thank you.

The Dave Matthews Band/Neville Brothers benefit concert for hurricane victims is Monday night at Red Rocks

Labor Day

What more appropriate city to fly into on Labor Day than DE'-troit? And that is in fact what I'm doing. I'm taking Frontier, which offers live TV for a few minutes for free or for the whole flight for $5. Thus I'll be closing my eyes the first 15 minutes of the flight _ shutting them tight! _ like Indy in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" when he's tied to that post, or else Frontier is going to suck me in with some inane program that I saw free for a few moments and simply must pay $5 to see how it ends. Happy Labor Day.

Things to do, 9/1

This is late, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention D Tha Man is performing at Herman's Hideaway tonight as part of "The Moovement" Hip Hop Showcase. I'm thinking that's a reference to Denver as cow town, but we won't mention that. 1578 S. Broadway. Email us if you need a free ticket.

Sad day

Saturday night coverage of Hunter S. Thompson's memorial was wrapping up, only for us to find out 49ers lineman Thomas Herrion collapsed in the locker room after the Broncos game. Got word not so long ago that he has died.

He played for Utah (in college).
