You are what you tweet.Scroll Deion Sanders’ timeline and it provides messages that are uplifting, encouraging and confusing. Sanders dispenses advice on pursuing dreams, believing, staying positive and remaining disciplined.Intertwined in those messages, Sanders makes and takes things personally. As one of the greatest defenders ever to play football, it is natural for him to defend himself. But when it comes to taking a shot at a college player, as he did Wednesday morning, Coach Prime needs to be above this. For his sake. And for CU’s.For context, The Athletic ran a piece this week revisiting the 53 transfers who…

WINNIPEG — The narrative of the “Big Save” can often be rooted in mythology more than fact during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. After Alexandar Georgiev allowed seven goals on 23 shots in Game 1 of this opening-round series, the Avalanche needed its goaltender to start making some, even if it was just one key stop per game. Georgiev has delivered. Not only did he only allow a total of five goals across the next three games, he came up a huge stop at critical times in each of them and the Avs have taken control of this series against the…

Suzanne Morphew (Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office) Nearly four years after Suzanne Morphew disappeared from her Chaffee County home, the discovery that she died with animal tranquilizers in her body has refocused attention on her husband’s use of such tranquilizers — an issue that has been woven into the investigation from the beginning.

They also found a cap used to cover the injecting…

By Emily Weinstein, The New York Times Sometimes we publish a recipe on New York Times Cooking that aligns so perfectly with this feature and our cause — food for busy people who still want something good to eat — that I get excited to tell you about it. That’s the case with Vallery Lomas’ new roasted chicken thighs with hot honey and lime. The ingredients are minimal; the flavors are maximal. It’s easy to put together, makes clever use of staples (garlic and onion powders, honey, hot sauce), and it’s already racking up rave reviews. And really, I just…

The Denver City Council has approved a $30 million contract with ASM Global to manage stagehand staffing at Red Rocks and other city venues after discussing concerns about the company’s compliance with city wage laws. That unanimous vote was taken Monday after some council members warned that they planned to keep an eye on ASM and other city contractors to ensure those companies adhere to local wage rules. Councilwoman Sarah Parady, a labor attorney, postponed a final vote on the contract at the council’s April 22 meeting and then called it out for comments before the final vote. She said…

By ZEKE MILLER, JOSHUA GOODMAN, JIM MUSTIAN and LINDSAY WHITEHURST (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, The Associated Press has learned, a historic shift to generations of American drug policy that could have wide ripple effects across the country. The proposal, which still must be reviewed by the White House Office of Management and Budget, would recognize the medical uses of cannabis and acknowledge it has less potential for abuse than some of the nation’s most dangerous drugs. However, it would not legalize marijuana outright for…
