SAN FRANCISCO — The Rockies completed their dismal 119-loss season with a 4-0 loss to the Giants on Sunday, but there was no immediate word about what’s next. It has been widely speculated that general manager Bill Schmidt will be replaced, but interim manager Warren Schaeffer, multiple players, and several coaches and staff members said they are unsure if, or when, a change is forthcoming. There’s also been speculation that the Rockies will hire someone from outside the organization to overhaul the front office after the worst season in franchise history and three consecutive 100-loss campaigns. But that also remains…

Thousands of Xfinity customers across Denver lost internet access early Sunday morning, an issue that continued into the evening. The exact number of people experiencing service interruptions was unknown Sunday, but Xfinity’s outage map showed multiple outages affecting more than 2,000 residents, and several affecting between 501 and 2,000 neighbors. “Something is causing our network to not perform in the way we expect,” an alert read under the cause section of multiple outages on the map. The map’s legend caps outage impacts at a label of “more than 2,000 customers” and doesn’t specify the number of people affected. It also…

NEW YORK — About 58 million pounds of corn dogs and other sausage-on-a-stick products are being recalled across the U.S. because pieces of wood may be embedded in the batter, with several consumers reporting injuries to date. According to a Saturday notice published by the Agriculture Department’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, the recall covers select “State Fair Corn Dogs on a Stick” and “Jimmy Dean Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick” products from Texas-based Hillshire Brands, which is a subsidiary of Tyson Foods. The contamination problem was discovered after Hillshire received multiple consumer complaints, the service notes, five of…

Another hunter died Friday in southern Colorado’s Conejos County, just over a week after two missing elk hunters who caught national attention were found dead, according to the sheriff’s office.

When Denver voters approved a major bond package on the 2017 ballot, the list of promised projects included a plan for pedestrian upgrades along East Colfax Avenue. The Colfax Corridor Improvements project — originally allocated $20 million — was meant to add lighting, trees and better crosswalks in four major business districts across Colfax. But two years after voters approved the bond package, part of that project was under threat. A significant portion of the Colfax Mayfair Business District, which had been included in the Elevate bond plan when it went before voters, suddenly wasn’t set to benefit from the…

As the Colorado Rockies stumble to the conclusion of the worst season in franchise history, The Denver Post takes a look at just how historically bad the 2025 team was. 10 of the ’25 Rockies’ gnarliest numbers The 2025 Rockies put up some ugly statistics on their way to the worst season in franchise history.

Federal land managers are considering repealing a set of regulations that prioritized conservation on millions of acres of Colorado public land — the most recent move by the Trump administration in a torrent of changes to federal lands policy. The U.S. Department of the Interior plans to rescind the Biden-era Public Lands Rule, which directs the Bureau of Land Management to consider the conservation of public lands to be equally important as commercial uses like oil and gas extraction, mining, grazing and timber harvesting. When they announced the rollback, administration officials said the rule placed outsized priority on conservation and…
