This year's draft heavy on size, light on glamour This year's NFL draft is heavy on size and light on glamour. There's no high-profile quarterback destined to go No. 1 and instantly become the face of a downtrodden franchise. There's not even a running back or wide receiver worthy of the top overall pick, someone with the kind of swagger that wins over fans weary of losing. More

Prairie View baseball’s put itself on the map.
The Thunderhawks are in the Class 5A Final Four this weekend amid their first appearance at the state tournament, one that’s been years in the making considering the majority of Prairie View’s lineup started since their freshman years.
“We had a true commitment and dedication to each other over the past two, three years,” ninth-year Prairie View head coach Mark Gonzales said.
On a night when a backup keeper ties a franchise record for saves in a single game, there’s not much else you can do than to tip your cap.
Either way, the Colorado Rapids are winless in their last three games, giving up 11 goals in that span. Three of them came against Houston Wednesday night, the Dynamo securing a 3-1 win at home against a Rapids team which has been up and down the past month.
Via a career performance by Dynamo backup keeper Andrew Tarbell, who amassed 10 saves on the night, Houston won its second game in its last eight tries.
Defensively, the Rapids will be left scratching their heads at the amount of goals allowed in the past few weeks, with a bottom five goals against figure of 29 in just 16 games so far this season.
The icing on the cake was an 80th minute strike from outside the box by Sebastian Kowalczyk, spurred by a counterattack and assisted by Ibrahim Aliyu.
The Rockies’ May resurgence rests on their starting pitching, and Ty Blach has been central to the revival.
The Denver native began the season at Triple-A Albuquerque, got called up as a reliever, and was inserted into the starting rotation out of necessity.
Now he’s pitching like he should have been in there all along.
Wednesday night, the veteran left-hander pitched seven solid innings, setting the table for Colorado’s 7-4 win over Cleveland at Coors Field in front of an announced crowd of 21,374.
“You can’t control so many things in this game,” Blach said when asked about his trip from the minors to the majors this season.
Sports found Vic Lombardi. And he has spent his adult life finding ways to make it more fun and interesting for the rest of us.
The son of Italian immigrants Ezio and Bambina, Lombardi did not speak English until around the age of 7. He remembers watching neighborhood kids play football, not knowing the rules, but joining the game anyway.
“It was my way to assimilate into the culture.
