When the day itself is proclaimed in your honor, all the better.
That was Friday on the west steps of the state capitol for Randy Gradishar.
The Broncos legend and 2024 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee soaked in a sunny May 3 afternoon that Gov.
Before taking on Tim Connelly’s Timberwolves in the playoffs for the second time in as many years, Nikola Jokic tipped his cap to the general manager who drafted him.
