There's just a different energy to these Nuggets this year.

To Nathaniel Hackett, Russell Wilson doesn't need to be unleashed.

Wilson needs to continue to go through his reads, and if one of those reads is a run, then he can take off. If the play breaks down, Russ can go off script. But from Hackett's perspective, Wilson isn't being held back.

Jack Howell is making a name for himself as one of the best defensive backs in college football. Coming off of a breakout campaign in which he earned Freshman All-American honors in 2021, Howell has taken his game to another level in 2022 and really shined through the early stages of the season.  Through four games this fall, Howell’s 45…...

DENVER, Colo. — A win is a win. The Denver Broncos struggled to score for most of their Sunday Night Football matchup with the San Francisco 49ers but a fourth-quarter comeback helped them to the second everr 11-10 win in NFL history. It wasn’t pretty, but it got the job done. Now, the Broncos’ 2-1 record is tied for first…

With the Avs plying a roster of mostly prospects and minor league players JT Compher proved how big the gap between the NHL and AHL is shining as one of the Avs best forwards in their victory over Vegas. https://youtu.be/Ygj4N-HKAM4

Pre-season has started and we got two hockey games out of the deal. The split squad took a full crew on the road to play the Minnesota Wild. It was split more evenly than the groups from training camp with Alex Galchenyuk, Alex Newhook, and Ben Meyers making the trip. https://twitter.com/Avalanche/status/1574127767867731969 This road team was filled with more AHL-regulars and…...

His ties to Colorado began at a distance during a time of disarray. Jared Bednar’s first season behind the bench was marred by a 48-point season. That summer, the Ottawa Senators claimed Shane Bowers as their 28th pick in the first round. The scouting reports touted his high-end skating ability and speed. He arrived on the doorsteps of Boston University…...

Colorado Rockies GM Bill Schmidt addressed the media on Saturday in the same dugout occupied by several of the prized prospects touted as the reason for optimism. Opening with remarks that thanked the fans for supporting his team, Schmidt highlighted the future of the franchise in the form of their farm system. “Needless to say, the season hasn’t met our…

For the third time in five years, Colorado State (0-4) lost to an FCS opponent by double digits, as the Rams fell 41-10 to Sacramento State (3-0) on Saturday. The loss extends what is currently the longest winless streak in the FBS (10), and it continues what has been a brutal stretch of home performances from CSU over the last…...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — D.J. Jones finally got his bag. “It was a hell of a journey,” he told DNVR. The defensive lineman signed a three-year, $30 million contract with the Broncos this offseason, ending a five-year run with San Francisco 49ers. The $9 million signing bonus he took home the day his pen hit the paper was more than the…

How concerned are you about Nathaniel Hackett just two games into his tenure as the Broncos’ head coach?

Will the Broncos pull off the upset over the 49ers?

The fellas debate in the latest Broncos’ Pick ‘Em!

The hype is more than just hope with the arrival of Colorado Rockies’ top infield prospect Ezequiel Tovar. Batting eighth and playing shortstop on Friday against the San Diego Padres as one of fives rookies in the starting lineup, Tovar represents the start of something promising for an organization heading into it’s fourth consecutive offseason without September relevance. At least…

Colorado is entering their third straight game of being at least 21-point underdogs this weekend when UCLA rolls into Folsom. UCLA barely escaped against South Alabama at home last week which suggests that this team is capable of playing down to their competition. The Buffs have yet to find any type of offensive momentum this season and it looks like…...

When the person formerly known as Chris Jackson decided to change his name to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, he was labelled by some of society as a troublemaker and rabble-rouser. Those labels did not dissuade him from continuing to stand for what he believes, by not standing, actually. When Rauf decided to not stand for the National Anthem based upon his beliefs,…

“Most teams have a long summer,” said defenseman Devon Toews. “[We had a] short, perfect summer. We’re super excited to have this team back.” It was an apt way to tie off the offseason after a short time away. Players have been taking optional skates for weeks, but today marked the beginning of the Colorado Avalanche’s 2022 training camp. Injury…...

There were a lot of star turns in the Colorado Avalanche’s quest for the Stanley Cup last year. Notably, Nazem Kadri stepped out of the shadows of his own career full of frustrations and into the brightest spotlight imaginable as he thrived in a way he never before had. That success paved the way for Kadri to secure the kind…...

On the Eve of the Colorado Avalanche officially opening their 2022-2023 campaign, we here at DNVR did our annual Training Camp Preview podcast. It’s a fun and exciting show to do every year because it really does (at least in my head) serve as the official start of a new hockey season. So much optimism, so much hope. Not just…...

When star free safety Justin Simmons couldn’t play in the Broncos’ Week 2 matchup against the Houston Texans, Caden Sterns had a chance to step up and start in his place. “It was fun, man,” Sterns said. “It’s a learning experience, as well. It felt pretty good out there but obviously, there’s some things to work on.” Beyond being one…...

The NHL offseason is essentially over and the Colorado Avalanche’s title defense will begin in the next week when rookies begin officially reporting for camp and the annual rookie tournament. Before getting to that, I want to look back on the offseason and see how it all went for the Avalanche. With a limit on resources, there was only so…...
