TIM AND MIKE: Week 15 observations
Secondary play: Detroit’s secondary played perhaps their most complete game of the season Saturday. Sutton and Ifeatu Melifonwu stood out. Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph were also good. Khalil Dorsey stepped into the No. 2 cornerback spot and played really well, allowing just two catches in his coverage all game. The Lions notched a season-high eight passes defended against the Broncos. – Tim Twentyman
Slow start: It took the Lions some time to get rolling on offense, which seems unlikely since they scored 42 points. They failed to score a point in three possessions in the first quarter. The flood gates opened after that – three TDs in the second quarter, one in the third and two in the fourth. – Mike O’Hara
Pressure package: The Lions pressured Denver quarterback Russell Wilson on 51.4 percent of his drop backs, which is a league-leading fifth time that number has been over 50 percent vs. an opponent this season, per Next Gen Stats. – Tim Twentyman

Nuggets coach’s deal among area’s five priciest home sales in June
The five priciest Denver-area home sales in June included a Highlands Ranch mansion purchased by the coach of the Denver Nuggets, a Cherry Hills Village mansion and three homes in Denver’s Cherry Creek, including two on the same block.
The top spot went to a home in the 400 block of Saint Paul St. in Denver. 460 Saint Paul LLC, a Colorado corporation formed on May 17, purchased the property from retired car dealer Jerry Glauser and his wife, Barbara, for $8.3 million.
The five-bedroom, eight-bathroom home designed by architect Michael Knorr sits on one-third acre in Cherry Creek. It features 12-foot ceilings, heated floors, a spiral staircase, an elevator, a domed skylight and a two-story gym.
The Glausers purchased the home in 2004 for $4.2 million, then bought the one next door for $850,000. They scraped the latter and turned to Paul Kobey, the original builder, to expand the house.
They decided to sell it and buy something smaller in Denver because they own homes in Aspen, Arizona, and Florence, Italy.
“We love Denver, but we only spend about a month here a year, and it doesn’t make sense to have a 12,000-square-foot house,” Glauser said in 2023. “We wish we could take it with us.”
The Glausers initially listed the property with Kentwood Real Estate DTC for $14 million in 2019 before removing the listing. Kentwood relisted it for $11 million in June 2020 before again removing the listing. Douglas Kerbs with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty then listed the home for $11 million in March 2022 before lowering the price to $10 million in March.
Glauser owned several Glauser Mercedes-Benz dealerships, including one in Westminster, before selling them and retiring.
Kerbs represented both the buyer and sellers.
According to MLS data, here are June’s next four most expensive home sales:
Home in the 10900 block of Skydance Drive, Highlands Ranch: $6.8 million
Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone, who led the team to an NBA championship in 2023, and his wife, Jocelyn, purchased the 8,875-square-foot mansion from Christian and Amy Stevens.
The six-bedroom, nine-bath home, with a five-car garage and an elevator, was built in 2022.
It features a gourmet kitchen, laundry room with a dog wash station, and a finished basement with a wet bar, temperature-controlled wine room and a home gym.
Outside, the home includes a private swimming pool, a pickleball court and an outdoor kitchen.
It listed for $7 million on May 27.
Malone joined the Nuggets as head coach in 2015 and was previously the head coach of the Sacramento Kings. He also served as an assistant coach of the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, New Orleans Hornets and the Golden State Warriors.

Home in 400 block of Cook St., Denver: $6 million
The Jim and Dianne Bosler 1993 Family Trust purchased the 7,686-square-foot mansion from Charles and Karen Farver.
The Farvers, who bought the home in 2019 for $3.7 million, listed it for $6.3 million on April 4. Charles Farver is the former chair of Pella Corp’s board of directors and a descendant of window company founder Pete Kuyper.
The home, constructed in 2007, includes four bedrooms, seven baths and a three-car garage. The Farvers recently completed an extensive interior renovation using award-winning design firm Mountain Luxury Interiors.
Bosler is chairman emeritus of JLB Partners, a national developer, builder, and manager of multifamily properties.

Home in 60 block of Charlou Circle, Cherry Hills Village: $5.8 million
William and Janet Gooden bought the 8,101-square-foot house from the Elizabeth A. Rollins Revocable Trust and Fifth Edition Holdings LLC.
The four-bedroom, seven-bath mansion with a four-car garage was built in 2001. The house listed for $6.3 million on April 23.
61 Charlou is a single-level home that sits at the end of a cul-de-sac. After purchasing it in 2019, the trust extensively renovated the home by teaming with a local contractor and interior designer Andrea Schumacher.
The main level features a dining area that comfortably seats 12, a primary suite and another large bedroom suite, laundry, and exercise room with outdoor access. The lower level features a large recreation area, and two additional bedroom suites.

Home in the 400 block of Saint Paul St., Denver: $5.1 million
The Sarah D. Shore Inheritance Trust purchased the 7,029-square-foot home from 407 Saint Paul LLC. The trust purchased the house in 2016 for $4.5 million. It listed for $5.3 million on May 6.
The four-bedroom, five-bath stucco home with a three-car garage was designed by Semple Brown Design and constructed in 2005 for developer Paul Kobey as his home.
It features Kolbe windows, Rocky Mountain Hardware fixtures, walnut and lagos blue limestone floors, front and back patios, and a heated front walkway.

Arapahoe County’s largest park reopens after $18M remodel
DENVER (KDVR) — The largest regional park in Arapahoe County is reopening Monday following a massive remodel that took more than a year.
Dove Valley Regional Park underwent an $18 million makeover that began in March 2023. On Monday at noon, the park will reopen.
According to the Arapahoe County Government, the 35-year-old park has doubled in size and now occupies over 90 acres.
“Upgrading the facilities and amenities in our parks will help more people spend time outdoors, stay active, and build stronger relationships with their neighbors,” said District 2 Commissioner Jessica Campbell. “By investing in our parks, we are investing in the future of our county and a healthy quality of life for our residents.”
If you head to the new and improved park on Monday, here is what you can expect:
- Upgraded athletic fields
- New roadway access and parking lot
- Walking trails
- New 165-car parking lot
- Large playground for ages 2-12
- New off-leash dog park
- Outdoor fitness equipment station with stair climb overlook
- Shade pavilion with picnic shelters
- Sledding hill for winter months
- Refurbished restroom facilities
Arapahoe County also said the park will have a bike park and pump track, which are expected to open later this summer.
The $18 million makeover was funded by the Arapahoe County Open Space Sales and Use Tax, which the county said helps fund and improve services in the area.
The Dove Valley Regional Park is located at 7900 S. Potomac Street Road in Centennial and is right next to the Denver Broncos training camp facility and the Centennial Airport.

Saying goodbye to 123 Speer: Denver7 is moving to Five Points
DENVER — Denver7 is in the final days of operating out of the 123 Speer Boulevard location before moving broadcasts to our new state-of-the-art facility at 2323 Delgany.
While we are excited to experience the upgrades at the new building, we wanted to reflect on Denver7’s history at its Speer location.
Bill Saul is a member of the Broadcast Pioneers of Colorado and worked for KLZ radio in the 1960s. KLZ was the first radio station in Denver, which went on the air in the 1920s.
“To make it to Denver radio when I was 21 was something,” Saul said, thinking back on how he felt when he was first hired.

How Denver7 can trace its roots to KLZ, Denver’s very first radio station
11:18 PM, Oct 08, 2023
In 1953, KLZ added television into the mix, which would eventually become KMGH.
Saul remembers moving into the building we now know as Denver7 in 1969. Before that, he worked in the original building where Denver7’s parking lot is located.
“It gave us a much bigger studio; it was a much nicer studio,” Saul said about moving into the larger space. “When we were in the old building, the pink building, we were in a closet, literally.”
Denver7 gave Saul one last tour of the building at 123 Speer before we move to 2323 Delgany.
“A piece of history. Definitely, absolutely,” said Saul while sitting inside the control room.

However, what’s made the space so special over the last several decades are the people who have shared their stories with Denver7 and the individuals who work to ensure those stories continue to be shared.
We’re not going anywhere and are ready to cover Colorado’s future from our new space in Five Points.
In May 2021, Denver City Council rejected an application to make 123 Speer a landmark. That application for historic designation was not filed on behalf of Denver7 and went against our wishes, as our former General Manager Dean Littleton stated at the time.
