Warriors Switch Ends For Game 6

Picture this: It’s the summer of 2027, and two emerging stars are making Coors Field a true baseball draw again. The Rockies are competitive for the first time in a decade, and just wrapped up a critical late-August series win over the Dodgers.

While that may seem like a purple-tinted tableau right now, as the Rockies are tracking toward another 100-loss season, it could be reality.

Why hello there, Damani Leech! Team GTW doesn’t fear change but we’re also suckers for tradition.

The thing about the Nuggets as champions: They never need to say, “We are the best.” Everybody knows it. Contrast them with the Lakers, who are like the kid in high school who gives himself a nickname. All the Nuggets do is win. All the Lakers do is whine. And the Lakers don’t discriminate.

Former Valor Christian football and basketball star Roger Rosengarten watched his dream turn into a reality on Friday night. The Baltimore Ravens took Rosengarten, a Highlands Ranch native, in the second round (62nd overall) of the NFL draft. Rosengarten will join a Ravens draft class that currently includes Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins, who was taken 30th overall on Thursday. When Rosengarten received word that he was going to Baltimore, the first thing that came to his mind was the opportunity to block for quarterback and 2-time MVP Lamar Jackson. “That’s an elite level quarterback.
