Sono Motoyama, Pittsburgh Post-GazetteGenerally speaking, I’m a chunky chicken soup kind of person.I like the hearty, stick-to-the-ribs quality of a good rough-hewn soup, and the contrast of textures and flavors of the broth and hunks of vegetable or meat or pasta. This extends to ramen or Korean hot pots, where the non-liquid elements outweigh the broth (though the broth is of equal importance).But there is a time for pureed soups, those elegant, traditional starters for a multicourse meal. They’re there to whet the appetite for the more substantial courses to come. And despite their apparent refinement, they can often be…

The on-court maturation and education of RJ Smith wasn’t going to reach its eventual end phase without a few hiccups and hurdles along the way.Smith is dealing with his first extended challenge of the campaign right now.One of the biggest pleasant surprises of the early stages of the season for the Colorado men’s basketball team, Smith hasn’t exactly hit a rut.

Gavin Newsom’s forest management policies and falsely claimed the state’s fish conservation efforts are responsible for fire hydrants running dry in urban areas. Referring to the governor by a derisive nickname, Trump said he should resign.Meanwhile, more than 180,000 people have been under evacuation orders and the fires have…

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Trying to diagnose the true ceiling of this Colorado Avalanche team has been a season-long challenge, but anyone who wants to believe this club can win 16 playoff games in the spring should point to a sequence Thursday night in the second period.It was also the turning point of a 6-1 victory against the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center. Given the context, this one was both rather important and one of the most impressive performances of the season for Colorado.The Wild, on a night when the Avs’ work without the puck was often championship-quality, had…

As the Broncos prepare for their first playoff game since the 2015 season, their defensive coordinator has emerged as a candidate for at least one head coach opening over the last week.Such is the price of success in the NFL.Vance Joseph helped turn around a Denver defense that was among the bottom third in the league a year ago, and now other franchises could soon try to pry him away.While Joseph reiterated his desire to be a head coach again when talking to reporters Thursday after practice, he also made sure to emphasize the importance of Sunday’s wild-card matchup at…

I feel…
