Denver Public Schools spokesperson Scott Pribble later confirmed that the victim is an 18-year-old West High School…

Bo Nix doesn’t curse. But his rookie season was a giant middle finger to critics.Sean Payton viewed him as the second-best quarterback in the draft behind Jayden Daniels. And Nix rewarded the coach’s faith by leading the Broncos to the playoffs for the first time since 2015, delivering 34 total touchdowns, six more than Patrick Mahomes.And yet Nix remains a magnet for disrespect.Google NFL quarterbacks and Nix almost never ranks in the top 20. One NFL.com list placed him behind Bryce Young. Neil Young, maybe. Bryce? Get serious.My take on Nix is no secret. He is a franchise quarterback capable of…

Here are 10 big questions as the Rockies enter the second half of their Cactus League season:1. The Rockies entered the weekend with a 10-3-1 record. What does that mean for the regular season?Not much, in and of itself. In 2011, the Rockies posted a 20-11-1 record in the Cactus League but finished 73-89 in the regular season. However, this spring’s pitching staff (3.25 ERA) is showing signs of marked improvement, so we aren’t going to see a 5.47 team ERA like we did last season.2. Will Kris Bryant stay healthy and be productive in 2025?That’s the $27 million question…

Consider Kevin Durant an undecided voter in the MVP race.But whichever way he ends up leaning — Nikola Jokic or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — he just hopes the outcome is based on the 2024-25 NBA season and nothing else. The past is the past, in Durant’s always-candid view.“I don’t think that’s fair at all, like, voter fatigue,” the former league MVP said Friday night when asked his thoughts about awards voters taking historical context into account. “If a guy’s balling out, he’s balling out, you know what I’m saying? I’m glad I don’t have to make that decision, between (Jokic) and…

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – There was a lot that had to go right for the Colorado women’s basketball team to pull off an upset of top-seeded TCU in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament on Friday at T-Mobile Center.Ultimately, there was a lot that went right for the ninth-seeded Buffaloes, but it wasn’t quite enough as they fell to the No. 8-ranked Horned Frogs, 69-62.“We were just talking about it in the hallway, like, I’m really not one for moral victories, but when you look at this game on paper – they have three first-team, all-league kids, including the…

Given the quality and quantity of future assets expended, this is more than that.The Avs have put the highest possible award within reach, but with an…
