Comment on Doyel on #SeniorClass: After nightmare of Crohn's disease, HSE pitcher's dream came true

The offseason program is a good time for NFL players to build habits. Or, sometimes, to break them. Broncos inside linebacker Alex Singleton in recent weeks found himself occasionally still calling out to No. 47 while manning the middle of the Denver defense. Josey Jewell, though, plays in Carolina now. Thoroughly out of earshot. “You can ask Jonas and Cody and Justin and those guys I’ve taken reps with that I’ve said, ‘Hey Josey — I mean whoever it is that’s out here,’” Singleton told reporters last week. For Singleton, the goal this summer is to get to know his new running mates. For Jonas Griffith, Cody Barton and Justin Strnad, among others, the goal is to take a step toward earning that spot. Singleton, of course, will miss Jewell as a playing partner at inside linebacker and as a friend with whom he spent a huge amount of time at work and away from it.

Troy Renck: The pairing represented hope and renewal, but hidden beneath their jerseys were expiration tags that had quietly passed.

PINKHAM NOTCH, N. H. — A Colorado runner has won a race to the summit of New England’s tallest peak for a record-setting eighth time. Joseph Gray, 40, of Colorado Springs, won the Mount Washington Road Race on Saturday in a time of 1 hour, 2 minutes and 21 seconds.

LOS ANGELES — The way the NFL can distribute its package of out-of-market games could be decided in federal court as the result of a class-action lawsuit. Subscribers to the NFL’s “Sunday Ticket” package are claiming the league broke antitrust laws by selling its package of out-of-market Sunday afternoon games airing on CBS and Fox at what the lawsuit says was an inflated price.

“That’s baseball” is one of manager Bud Black’s favorite refrains. Seeing-eye base hits, bloop doubles, balls lost in the sun, and a crucial missed call by the home plate umpire. All that was on full display in the Rockies’ 8-2 loss to the Pirates on Sunday at Coors Field. But that’s not what cost the Rockies a chance to clinch the three-game series in front of a Father’s Day crowd of 40,422.

Adjusting to college life never is an easy part of the process for incoming freshmen. For Colorado rookie Sebastian Rancik, moving to Boulder has simply been another step in his life’s routine. The freshman forward from North Macedonia, by way of Southern California, already has lived a nomadic life. Rancik was born in Greece and spent about six years of his childhood in Spain.
