Mother: Children Survived Being Sucked From Home

The reigning World Series champions got nothin’ on these Rockies. Colorado won its first series on Saturday on its 13th try, snapping a franchise-worst drought to begin the season in that regard. In the 8-3 victory over Texas, the Rockies became the last MLB team to win a series this year, too, a day after winning consecutive games for the first time in 2024. They did it behind a solid outing from Ryan Feltner, who allowed two runs over five-plus innings, plus a seventh-inning rally in which the Rockies batted around while scoring six runs with two outs to cement a season-high three-game winning streak. “We’ve felt close to (breaking out),” catcher Jacob Stallings said.

At Notre Dame, running back Audric Estime was fearsome. Playing with power and strength, exemplified by his Hulk-like arms, Estime was wrecking a ball, mowing down or even leaping over tacklers that stood in his way. Even with shorts and a practice jersey during the Broncos’ rookie minicamp on Saturday afternoon, the fifth-round pick still looked like an imposing figure that someone wouldn’t want to get in front of when he’s moving at full speed. The addition of Estime and undrafted rookie free agent Blake Watson has created an interesting competition within Denver’s running back room that will be closely monitored throughout the team’s offseason program and training camp.

The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is searching for two brothers reported missing from Security-Widefield, nine miles south of Colorado Springs, Tuesday. Sheriff’s deputies believe Isaac, 14, and Reuben, 12, may be in Pueblo, according to a Saturday release from the department. Isaac may be armed and dangerous, the sheriff’s office said, and warned people not to approach him. Both boys were reported missing from their home on Marquette Drive in Security-Widefield on Tuesday, deputies said. Isaac is described as 4-foot 11-inches, 100 pounds and having brown hair and brown eyes.

Looking for their first NCAA Tournament quarterfinal trip in six years, the DU Pioneers left no doubt Saturday afternoon. The University of Denver men’s lacrosse team set the tone early with seven goals in the opening 15 minutes of its first-round NCAA Tournament game against Michigan, then kept the Wolverines at arm’s length the rest of the way to claim a 16-11 win at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium. The Pioneers will face either No.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton said “significant” is a modest word when describing the league’s new kickoff rule. “It’s bigger than that,” he added. This season, Denver and the rest of the NFL will enter uncharted waters due to the league’s new kickoff rules. As the Broncos wrapped up the second day of rookie minicamp on Saturday afternoon, they simulated the changes that feature two returners, 10 kick coverage players lining up at the opposing 40-yard line and no one outside of the kicker and returner can move until the ball hits the ground or is touched by the returner inside the 20. Payton said the team is in the stage of figuring out the what-ifs of the new rule and the different landing zones.

Donald Trump had perhaps his most positively awful week yet--and that's saying something. He was ripped by a former Capitol Hill cop, he was attacked by yet another Republican, the recent Lt. Governor of Georgia, Geoff Duncan, who endorsed Biden in a scathing op-ed about the election and future of our country. And then there was the utterly humiliating testimony from Stormy Daniels about him
