What would you say if I told you the Broncos will go as far as Vance Joseph can carry them? I’d say the tires go flat about three blocks into Foxfield. Funny. Come on, hear me out. Your QB1 is either Sparky Stidham; Zach Wilson, who picked up Wednesday right where he’d left off in […]

Wednesday afternoon’s Laugher in LoDo had a little bit of everything. En route to their 20-7 shellacking of the Red Sox, the Rockies mashed four home runs, including the first career grand slam of Brenton Doyle’s career. They lambasted Boston pitchers for a season-high 21 hits on a 93-degree day at Coors Field where baseballs […]

The Broncos’ first acclimation practice before the start of training camp featured a pleasant surprise: a legitimate Greg Dulcich sighting. During the 11-on-11 period, Jarrett Stidham rolled to his right on a play action and, as edge rusher Jonathon Cooper closed in, threw a ball to the flat to the third-year tight end, who burst […]

Marvin Mims Jr. swears only lopsided numbers led to his clothes getting paint-soaked earlier this month. The paintball battles in Texas with his Broncos teammates, he claims, were not fair fights. “It was five vs. four,” he said. “I was on the team with four and so every time it was like 4-on-1 against me.

A purple haze descended on LoDo Tuesday night. It had nothing to do with the smoky skies produced by the Canadian wildfires. It had everything to do with Boston Red Sox right-hander Cooper Criswell, who snuffed out Rockies bats for seven innings. Criswell, pitching for the first time at Coors Field, gave up five hits, […]

Kris Bryant gets another chance to prove himself. The Rockies right fielder/first baseman, the team’s highest-paid player, returned to the lineup Tuesday night to face the Red Sox at Coors Field. He played in just 24 of the Rockies’ first 101 games, continuing a trend that has plagued him throughout his first three seasons in […]

Cole Bassett thought his spot in the Olympics was secure. One day, the Colorado Rapids midfielder was mentally preparing to hop on a plane and live out a childhood dream. The next, U.S. men’s soccer coach Marko Mitrović changed his mind. Rather than join the 18-man Olympic roster headed to Paris, Bassett was told he […]

Even his hair was in a hurry. When coach Sean Payton walked to the podium Tuesday, there was no time to spray the spike on top of his head or mat it down. Minutes are precious. Payton arrived in shorts and a sweatshirt. A three-piece suit with a briefcase would have been more fitting. He […]
