While the Avalanche season mercifully came to an end, there were plenty of highlights from the last week of play, along with some interesting lowlights.
The Denver Broncos are starting to develop a pretty serious pattern; look like a Super Bowl contender in the first half, and completely fall apart in the second. The orange and blue lost a much-needed game in Pittsburgh on Sunday against a Steelers team who were fighting for their playoff lives. I get it, both teams needed this win…...
The Denver Broncos went into sunny San Diego with one thing on their collective minds; be the No. 1 seed in the AFC. After an impressive team win and some help, Denver is now in the driver seat. Denver was in control from the first whistle of the 17-3 lopsided victory and the defense practically lived in the San…...
The Denver Broncos will be traveling to sunny San Diego to take on the division rival Chargers without key players on defense. Linebacker DeMarcus Ware, safety T.J. Ward and nose tackle Sylvester Williams have all been ruled out for the 2:05 p.m. MST start against the San Diego Chargers; Ward and Williams will not travel with the team. “We’re…...
Last Saturday, the Colorado Avalanche sent 20-year old defenseman Nikita Zadorov down to their AHL affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage. I was surprised. I was disappointed. While I understand the team’s rough start presents a variety of challenges, I wish the Avalanche would provide a little more insight into their strategy. As it stands, the reassignment raises more questions…...
It has been five weeks now and a 5-0 start for the Mile High crew without a quarterback. The Denver Broncos went into the “black hole” of Oakland Sunday and limped away with a 16-10 win against the division rival Raiders. It’s all thanks to another stellar performance from the defensive side of the ball. Notable was Raiders’ kicker…...
Denver is a great sports media market. With four professional teams, three major college programs, three network television channels, three sports talk radio stations, one tenacious newspaper and two regional cable sports outlets, it’s a place where opportunities abound for talented sportswriters and broadcasters alike. The Mile High City has been a launching pad for the careers of such…...
A head coach is an enigma. He has public persona and one players see behind the scenes, as well. Every player that BSN has interviewed during Colorado State Rams fall camp has told a long tale about their coach, Mike Bobo. They don’t speak about his impressive record with the Georgia Bulldogs, the players he helped produce or how hard…...
Roger Federer is washed up. He has nothing left. He may very well be the greatest tennis player of all time, but he’s a shell of what he once was. Federer just doesn’t have it anymore. It was fun while it lasted, but you never stop the clock on Father Time. What are those people saying and thinking now that…...
Rooftoppin’ The University of Colorado released passes for season ticket holders Tuesday morning to their “Rooftop Terrace,” a beer garden that sits atop the Champions center, with beautiful views of the Flatirons. As expected, the passes went like hotcakes. The allotment of season passes, which went for an extremely reasonable $60, sold out in minutes, and by 4 PM all…...
Shane Dillion, Connor Wood, Jim Leavitt. What do those three names have in common? Hype, and lots of it. All of them were basically declared the savior of the program before they did anything, or produced any results. It’s natural, fans see a beam of hope and they clasp on to it. What else are you supposed to do…...
Finally some good news on the injury front for the Rockies. Colorado ace Jorge De La Rosa threw a bullpen session on Wednesday in Scottsdale. De La Rosa threw about 30 pitches and if he continues without any setbacks, he should be on schedule to make his season debut April 14th when the Rockies play the Giants in San Francisco.…...
