EDITOR’S NOTE: One of a series of profiles on draft prospects who would fit the Broncos’ needs. The way Oklahoma linebacker Kenneth Murray talked about football at the scouting combine should have been right in the wheelhouse of Broncos coach/football guy Vic Fangio. “To me, football isn’t just recreation,” Murray said. “It’s a lifestyle and I think that’s why the game means so much to me.” If Fangio believes Murray can be an immediate cog to his defense, like Roquan Smith was in Chicago two years ago, the Broncos could wait on taking a receiver or cornerback or offensive tackle with the 15th pick and choose Murray. Todd Davis and Alexander Johnson are the current starters at inside linebacker, but Murray has the tools to be an every-down player. “I truly do believe I’m the best inside linebacker in this draft,” Murray said.

How David Clabaugh transformed Thunder Valley into a world-class motocross track over the past quarter-century
Denver Post, Saturday - 06/08/2024 - 07:45 AM
LAKEWOOD — When David Clabaugh took over Thunder Valley Motocross Park in 1999, he opened his wallet and his mind. Clabaugh, a lifelong racer and track promoter, poured an estimated $1.5 million into the track in an effort to bring a national race back to Colorado. And while he did that, he was also busy traveling around to stops on the American Motorcyclist Association’s Pro Motocross Championship circuit, taking on odd jobs as a means to reach his goal. “I would hang banners, I would pound stakes, I would move hay bales, all while getting to know all of the people on the pro circuit,” Clabaugh said.
