Strike 3: There’s a current generation of Colorado Rockies fans that don’t know who Keli McGregor was, and will always be. Sure, there’s a popular new retail area near 20th and Blake that bears his name. But who was he, and what did he do? There are always people who point at the retired “KSM” jersey on the wall at Coors Field and ask someone sitting near them, “Who’s that?”
The tributes are for Keli Scott McGregor, former Rockies team president. He remains the biggest loss in Rockies history, bar none. Whether you knew him or not, you miss Keli McGregor.

It should be illegal for the Denver Nuggets to own this much mental real estate over the Los Angeles Lakers. They did it to them AGAIN.
The Nuggets defeated the Lakers 112-105 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead on Thursday night. Once again, the Nuggets trailed at halftime. Once again, they used a third quarter run to propel themselves ahead. Once again, they shut the door in the fourth quarter with elite shotmaking and playmaking, this time from Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon especially.
The Nuggets jumped out to a double-digit lead in the third quarter on great shotmaking from the sta ..read more

One year ago against the Los Angeles Lakers in the Conference Finals, the Denver Nuggets defended their homecourt behind mastery from Nikola Jokic and heroics from Jamal Murray. Game 1 was all about Jokic and how he controlled the matchup against Anthony Davis and the Lakers frontcourt. Game 2 was much more of a struggle, with the Nuggets trailing for a while until Murray put together a fourth quarter outburst to carry the Nuggets across the finish line.
Through two games in the first round this year, it looks much the same.
Yes, the details are different. Yes, Murray’s field goal percentage i ..read more

Tomorrow night, the 2024 NFL Draft kicks off with the first round.
And because they went on a run in the middle of last season, the Denver Broncos pick No. 12 overall.
While the obvious biggest need on the team is at quarterback, the Broncos will likely miss out on the top-4 QBs. That’s the bad news.
The good news is it opens Denver up to take a possible great player at a number of other needy positions.
The 2024 NFL Draft is key for Denver Broncos moving forward
QB or not QB? That is the question.
And in all likelihood, the Broncos will probably go after another need at No. 12 overall.

Strike 2: Before he’d even warmed up his office chair in Boulder, Deion Sanders – ever the marketing machine – launched his wide ranging and self-promoting social media efforts, including the hashtag “#WeComing.”
He needs to add another one: “#WeGoing.”
Ah, the wonders of the Transfer Portal.
Remember, Sanders forced more than 50 guys to “hit the portal” before he even coached a game at CU. Today, after relying on the portal for roughly 80% of his most recent recruiting class, Sanders has already seen 15 of his hand selected players – including highly-ranked high school recruits and former po ..read more

Rewind back to the second round in 2021. The Avalanche won each of the first two games at home against the Vegas Golden Knights and were just minutes away from stealing Game 3.
Vegas managed to score late, winning that game and each of the next three to defeat the Avs in six games. Despite leading 2-0 in the series, the Avs were not the better team in either game. Eventually, Vegas’ dominance proved to be too much, and they took the 0-2 deficit back to their barn feeling good about how they started the series.
Sounds quite familiar, doesn’t it?
Following the Avalanche’s exceptional Game 2 perf ..read more
