Welcome to the Wednesday edition of The Cooler, where we would be nothing if not for overcorrections. Let’s get to it: *Brett Favre made his reputation in the NFL with big-time throws, taking chances and, yes, durability even in the face of physical damage. He started 297 consecutive regular-season games and withstood a barrage of illegal hits with the Vikings against New Orleans in the 2009 NFC title game that turned his ankle an awful color. If Favre was still playing today, though, he would find things quite different.

Anthony Edwards on Nuggets’ Jamal Murray being his favorite player to watch: “Without him, they’re not good”
Denver Post, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 11:10 AM
Jamal Murray’s intermittent injury report appearances this season are practically a crash course in human leg anatomy. A hamstring. A knee. Both ankles. His shins. Now, a calf. None of the injuries have been severe enough to sideline him for more than three-ish weeks, but they’ve each been accompanied by a sense of foreboding, which is owed to the Nuggets’ recent playoff history with and without Murray.

Avalanche shows its championship DNA, offers Jets lessons to ponder for the future
Denver Post, Wednesday - 05/01/2024 - 08:48 PM
WINNIPEG — Rick Bowness invoked the wisdom from one of hockey’s most famous playoff tales Tuesday night. His Winnipeg Jets had just finished a season with 110 points — fourth-most in the NHL — but only one postseason victory after the Colorado Avalanche rolled past his club in five games during an opening-round series in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. “You get to this stage, at the end of a playoff series, if you’re not putting an ice bag on, you’re not playing hard enough,” Bowness said.

Renck: When it comes to Coach Prime, you are what you tweet. CU Buffs coach needs to be above taking jabs at college players
Denver Post, Wednesday - 05/01/2024 - 06:06 PM
You are what you tweet. Scroll Deion Sanders’ timeline and it provides messages that are uplifting, encouraging and confusing. Sanders dispenses advice on pursuing dreams, believing, staying positive and remaining disciplined. Intertwined in those messages, Sanders makes and takes things personally. As one of the greatest defenders ever to play football, it is natural for him to defend himself.
