An independent investigation found Board of Education member John Youngquist exhibited “belittling, dismissive and condescending behavior” toward Denver Public Schools employees, and that he showed biases when interacting with staff of color, according to a report released Monday. Despite those findings, the report stated that the investigation was unable to determine whether Youngquist deliberately discriminated against DPS employees, stating that there was no evidence that the school board member showed overt racism toward staff, such as the use of slurs. “We are unable to reach a conclusion as to whether Mr. Youngquist deliberately acted in a biased manner towards some…

The Broncos are going to be without reigning defensive player of the year Pat Surtain II on Sunday against Houston and potentially for considerably longer. The All-Pro cornerback strained his left pectoral muscle while trying to make a tackle Sunday in Denver’s win against the Cowboys, sources confirmed to The Denver Post on Monday. The timeframe for Surtain’s return is not exactly clear at this point, though Fox Sports reported an expected absence of 4-6 weeks. Surtain is a candidate to be put on injured reserve, but such a move is not guaranteed, a source said. If Surtain does land…

The Chris Armas era is over in Commerce City. The Colorado Rapids announced that the club and coach mutually agreed to part ways on Monday. Armas, whose contract expired at the end of this season, finished with a 26-29-13 record in the MLS regular season since joining ahead of the 2024 campaign. In 2025, the Rapids were on track to make the playoffs for the second straight year but had their season end dramatically on Decision Day after a poor run in the season’s home stretch.

Renck: Can’t stand Pat. Or at least life without him. While a lot of CU fans would be happy to wave goodbye to offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, even a single Broncos game without Pat Surtain II remains unnerving. Everything went right for Denver in a rout of the Cowboys. Except for this: Surtain hurt his left shoulder and did not play the second half.
