The Great Dane’s time in Colorado is over, and a midfield mainstay may follow suit. In a news conference on Thursday, Colorado Rapids president Pádraig Smith said center back Andreas Maxsø will leave the club this offseason, the first of what might turn into a series of offseason roster changes. His guaranteed contract was up at the conclusion of this season, but a club option could have kept him in Commerce City through 2026. The decision to part ways was mutual. Smith said his preferred destination is somewhere in Europe, where the Danish international could be closer to family. Before…

Two people were killed early Friday morning after a motorist driving in the wrong direction in the northbound lanes of Interstate 25 collided with another vehicle just south of 6th Avenue in Denver. Both motorists were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which was reported to police just before 3 a.m., the Denver Police Department said on social media. There were no passengers in either vehicle. “We’re still trying to determine where the wrong-way driver got on the highway,” said Denver police spokesperson Doug Schepman. Schepman said it was too early to determine if alcohol or drugs were involved…

Eduardo Robledo’s print “Bienvenidos (Welcome),” from 2022. (Ray Mark Rinaldi, Special to The Denver Post) We don’t think of art galleries and museums as seasonal places. With their walls painted white and their windows covered, it is difficult to discern the time of day, or even the time of year, once you are inside. It’s a curator’s way of controlling the environment, along with every second of the viewer experience. But it is different at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Its three sizable galleries sit inside one of the biggest urban open spaces in the city, where beds of flowering flora…

By ALANIS THAMES MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Lamar Jackson returned for the Baltimore Ravens, and so did the chants of “M-V-P!” — on the road. Jackson threw for 204 yards and four touchdowns, showing little rust in his return from a right hamstring strain, and the Ravens routed the Miami Dolphins 28-6. The two-time MVP completed 18 of 23 passes in his first start since Week 4 against Kansas City, and the Ravens (3-5) won their second straight as they hope to make a run in the wide-open AFC North. “It felt great,” Jackson said. “I didn’t have any…

On Thursday afternoon, Broncos safety JL Skinner sat scrolling on his phone at Bo Nix’s locker. A team-issued iPad sat nearby, plugged into a nearby charging port. Skinner’s device was dead. This was a bad week to have a dead iPad. Skinner had film to watch. Everyone in the secondary had film to watch. Life changes with Pat Surtain II injured and unavailable. “Shoot, he’s Pat Surtain, man,” Skinner mused. “He takes away the number-one every time. You never have to worry about it.” There is little historical precedent for a Vance Joseph-coached defense in Denver without Surtain, the reigning…

By LISA MASCARO, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Certain senators know it. House Speaker Mike Johnson knows it. And with President Donald Trump back in Washington from his overseas trip, perhaps the White House knows it, too. For many, it’s time for the government shutdown to come to an end. From coast to coast, fallout from the dysfunction of a shuttered federal government is hitting home: Alaskans are stockpiling moose, caribou and fish for winter, even before SNAP food aid is scheduled to shut off. Mainers are filling up their home-heating oil tanks, but waiting on the federal subsidies that…

Denver’s top immigration enforcement official said he was reassigned to Virginia effective earlier this week, amid a broader shakeup among the ranks of the federal agency tasked with arresting and deporting millions of immigrants without legal status. Robert Guadian, the now-former head of the Denver field office for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, confirmed Thursday, while testifying remotely in federal court as part of a lawsuit alleging that ICE has conducted waves of warrantless and illegal arrests in the state, that he has been relieved of his duties in Colorado. He said he had been reassigned to the ICE’s field office…

Dre Greenlaw played just 34 defensive snaps over nearly 19 months due to Achilles and quad injuries. He made an impact in 21 snaps two weeks ago for the Broncos against the New York Giants, but then had to sit out again due to a suspension stemming from a postgame incident in which the NFL said he “verbally threatened” referee Brad Allen. Now Greenlaw’s back to work with Denver this week and Thursday took accountability for the sequence after Wil Lutz’s 39-yard game-winning field goal against the Giants. “I just shouldn’t have put my teammates and my team in that…

By KONSTANTIN TOROPIN WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the military to provide dozens of lawyers to the Justice Department for temporary assignments in Memphis and near the U.S.-Mexico border that could run through next fall, according to a memo released this week and reviewed by The Associated Press. “I am directing you to collectively identify 48 attorneys and 4 paralegals from within your Military Department who may be suitable for detail” to the Justice Department to act as special assistant U.S. attorneys, Hegseth wrote in a memo dated Monday that was sent to all four services…
