A bye week gave Colorado head coach Deion Sanders an opportunity to spend time at his home in Texas and fish “like crazy.” There was an unfortunate casualty during his time away, though. “I caught a turtle one time by the foot,” Sanders said during his weekly press conference on Tuesday. “I don’t know how that happened, but he’s no longer with us.” Despite that, it was a successful bye week for Sanders and his Buffaloes (3-4, 1-3 Big 12), who return to action with a trip to Utah (5-2, 2-2) on Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City…

The NFL isn’t budging on its stance to suspend a key member of the Broncos’ defense. On Tuesday night, NFL spokesman Michael Signora announced that the league upheld its one-game suspension of Dre Greenlaw, a day after multiple sources told The Denver Post that Greenlaw would appeal the suspension. The Broncos will now be down their starting weak-side linebacker for Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys in Denver on Sunday after Greenlaw made his season debut in Week 7. Greenlaw was captured on video chasing after referee Brad Allen and shouting at him following kicker Wil Lutz’s game-winning field goal…

Christian Braun probably won’t have a career as an agent after he’s done playing basketball. “Negotiations are kind of maybe not my thing,” he said Tuesday at Ball Arena, 24 hours after he signed a five-year, $125 million contract extension with the Nuggets. “Kind of felt like you’re kind of against them for a little bit. But I think it worked out really, really well. I was really, really happy with the outcome. I’m very grateful for everybody involved.” Braun, 24, is suddenly under contract through 2031, longer than anyone on Denver’s roster as the 2025-26 season nears. The shooting…

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A plane carrying passengers from Omaha, Nebraska, to Los Angeles made an emergency landing minutes into the flight “out of an abundance of caution” after pilots mistakenly thought someone was trying to breach the cockpit. The SkyWest Flight 6569 had just left Omaha’s Eppley Airfield around 7:45 p.m. Monday when the plane’s pilots declared an emergency and headed back to the airport. A statement from SkyWest — a regional carrier operated by American Airlines — said the plane “returned to Omaha out of abundance of caution after experiencing communication issues with a flight crew mic.” An…

The planned cuts were outlined in a filing made public Monday in an ongoing federal court case stemming from a lawsuit by two labor unions seeking to halt the layoffs. In total, the department plans to eliminate more than 2,000 jobs across the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Reclamation, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Geological Survey and the department’s administrative offices. In Colorado, the proposed cuts…

Eight children were killed in domestic violence incidents across Colorado in 2024 — the highest number since the state began tracking annual domestic violence deaths eight years ago, according to a report released Tuesday by the Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board.

Dear Eric: I have been in recovery for alcohol addiction for almost 31 years. Needless to say, my life is wonderful and so good compared to those years when I was active in my addiction. Recently I was with someone who knew me before recovery. In a room with people who really didn’t know me very well, she told the story about how I was drunk, in a blackout and stole something from someone. Now I don’t know if this even happened. However, I was so embarrassed and hurt by the fact that she would do this to me. She…

Colorado’s economy, which has been flying on a downward trajectory since early 2023, corrected course in the third quarter, gaining enough lift to avoid a hard landing, according to the latest Quarterly Business & Economic Indicators from the Colorado Secretary of State. “Based on the data we have, we can see a minor bounce back in our state and national GDP from the first two quarters of this year. National GDP rose 3.8% and Colorado’s GDP also rose 3.5%, however, the number of jobs from August showed the slowest pace of job growth since the pandemic,” said Colorado Secretary of…
