  • Curt Schilling questions character of Kirby Puckett in Hall of Fame rant
    Kirby Puckett has had his dirty laundry aired in public (at least in the media) on multiple occasions, perhaps most notably in this 2003 Sports Illustrated piece, three years before his early death. It is a part of the Puckett story that most Twins fans either honestly don’t know about or choose to forget about — or, at the most, gloss over when thinking about the baseball hero. The less-than-perfect side of Puckett the human, in fact, gets buried so deep that it becomes somewhat shocking when someone brings up his name in a negative way. More

  • Renck vs. Keeler: Which new Broncos QB will start in Week 1: Bo Nix or Zach Wilson?
    Denver Post, Monday - 04/29/2024 - 01:57 PM

    Sean Keeler: It took about 16 seconds for the Bo Nix haters to come crashing through the front door of Dove Valley like it was a Black Friday. The fumes have barely faded on the 2024 draft, and at least one major betting service on Monday listed the Broncos’ latest franchise QB lottery ticket as its heavy favorite to be “most likely rookie QB to be benched first.” Which presumes, of course, that he’s the Broncos’ starter right out of the gate.

  • Valeri Nichushkin, Artturi Lehkonen help Avalanche make stingy Jets look miserable
    Denver Post, Monday - 04/29/2024 - 11:07 AM

    The Colorado Avalanche have made the Winnipeg Jets look more like the San Jose Sharks. In a much-anticipated battle between the highest-scoring team in the NHL this season against the stingiest defensive club, the best offense is beating the best defense and it isn’t particularly close. Colorado has scored 22 goals in the first four games of this opening-round series, which the Avalanche lead 3-1.

    Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders during the CU Spring football game on April 27, 2024.(Cliff Grassmick/Staff Photographer) Rain made for a soggy Colorado spring football game on Saturday, but it certainly didn’t dampen the mood among the recruits who were visiting. On Sunday, three recruits who visited the Boulder campus this weekend announced their verbal commitments to the Buffs, including brothers Brandon and Colton Hood and offensive line transfer Zack Owens from Clemson. All three were once teammates at Eagles Landing Christian Academy in McDonough, Ga., and now will be teammates at CU, where they’ll play for head coach Deion Sanders. Colton Hood is a cornerback who will join the Buffs as a transfer from Auburn.
