The Nuggets have their hands full with Tom Brady. Intellectually, that’s the comparison David Adelman offered for James Harden this week, needing a different sport to accurately place the patience and precision with which Harden operates a pick-and-roll. The idea is that he’s still got it, even as his beard grays. RELATED: Nuggets vs. Clippers scouting report: Matchups, how to watch and series predictions Another apt parallel would be Denver’s own past-his-prime gunslinger. “He reminds me, at his age now, of some of the great drop-back quarterbacks.

By KATE PAYNE and DAVID FISCHER, Associated Press TALLAHASSEE, Fla.

BOULDER — Deion Sanders had another message for the NCAA on Tuesday: Tell other football programs to stop tampering with CU Buffs players via the transfer portal. “We’ve got some tremendous guys identified in the portal that we felt like were going to be in the portal,” Coach Prime said during a news conference late Thursday morning at CU’s Champions Center. “We don’t jump the gun on that stuff because the last thing I want to hear is my name associated with tampering anything like they do our kids. “We’ve got contracts.

By MIKE STOBBE, AP Medical Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Federal officials are circulating a draft budget proposal that would make dramatic additional cuts to federal health programs and serve as a roadmap for more mass firings. Though it’s preliminary, the document gives an indication of the Trump administration’s priorities as it prepares its 2026 fiscal year budget proposal to Congress. The document indicates plans to deepen job and funding reductions across much of the federal government. The budget of the Food and Drug Administration would be cut by nearly half a billion dollars, to $6.5 billion, in part by…

If trust is a two-way street, Valeri Nichushkin needs to stop kicking Stanley Cups to the curb. “We trust him. And that’s the management, the coaches — everybody trusts him,” Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson told me this week before Colorado’s Stanley Cup Playoffs opener at Dallas on Saturday. “If his teammates can trust him, I think everyone else has to, too.” Easier said than done. For three straight playoffs, the Avs have gone as far as the Chu Chu Train could take them. It’s been a bumpy ride. Oh, things started well enough. In 2022, it was a two-month Uber…

By BYRON TAU, JOSHUA GOODMAN, GARANCE BURKE and BRIAN SLODYSKO WASHINGTON (AP) — On the rooftop patio of the General Services Administration headquarters, an agency staffer recently discovered something strange: a rectangular device attached to a wire that snaked across the roof, over the ledge and into the administrator’s window one floor below. It didn’t take long for the employee — an IT specialist — to figure out the device was a transceiver that communicates with Elon Musk’s vast and private Starlink satellite network. Concerned that the equipment violated federal laws designed to protect public data, staffers reported the discovery…
