Its only location is at 319 S. Sheridan Blvd. in Lakewood.He is also @TheRealRedPantMan on TikTok and a courtside staple at Nuggets games, where he dances around, teases opponents and takes selfies in signature trousers.And those two sides of him are commingling in questionable ways, a local developer said.

Denver Post Broncos writer Parker Gabriel posts his Broncos Mailbag periodically during the offseason. Click here to submit a question.I am so glad that someone else has Russell Wilson. He had his time here in Seattle. The worst thing about it is, that no matter bad (he plays), he’ll still get a big fat paycheck. Glad he’s a Bronco.— John Edwards, Auburn, Wash.Funny enough, John, I watched Seattle QB Drew Lock hit Noah Fant for 51 yards and two of the players drafted with picks acquired in the Russell Wilson trade — CB Devon Witherspoon and OLB Boye Mafe — dominate against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football as I wrote this mailbag. There’s no argument here that Seattle’s won the trade resoundingly. You’ll also get no argument from me that Wilson’s five-year, $245 million extension is going to be problematic at some point for the Broncos.At the same time, Wilson once again looks like a pretty darn good player. His quarterback rating through four games is 106.7 (...
