Earlier this week, Kyle Freeland called Rafael Devers’ home run admiration “extremely disrespectful.” Kyle, how do you think Rockies’ fans feel? We all love Freeland’s competitive spirit, but his reaction to Devers’ slow trot came across as petty, misplaced and soft. Freeland yelled at Devers to get up the line, leading to an exchange of words that will never show up on a Hallmark card, and a bench-clearing dust-up. Freeland was out of line. It’s that simple. He served up a cookie on the game’s eighth pitch, and Devers turned it into a souvenir. His pimp job was normal by…

Kyle Freeland wasn’t perfect, but he pitched a masterpiece on Friday night in the Rockies’ 3-0 victory over the Padres in front of 30,073 at Coors Field. Just days removed from throwing only eight pitches in his last outing, the Rockies’ fiery veteran left-hander threw eight shutout innings, allowed just two hits, and tied a career-high with 10 strikeouts. Freeland did not walk a batter. Freeland became the first pitcher in franchise history to pitch eight scoreless innings and allow two or fewer hits with 10 or more strikeouts. “Fantastic, fantastic outing,” interim manager Warren Schaeffer said. “It was a…

John Franklin-Myers chuckled, acknowledging the football story he’s never been able to rewrite. He was passed up by most every FBS program coming out of Greenville High in Texas. He was passed up by the Los Angeles Rams in 2019, cut after he’d played Super Bowl snaps the year before as a rookie. He was passed up by the New York Jets in 2024, who traded Franklin-Myers because they couldn’t pay him. History is repeating itself in Franklin-Myers’ second season in Denver. The Broncos haven’t engaged in extension talks with the stalwart defensive end despite signing Courtland Sutton, Zach Allen…

By ANGELA HART, KFF Health News, and DEVI SHASTRI, The Associated Press SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Trump administration is taking its immigration crackdown to the health care safety net, launching Medicaid spending probes in Colorado and at least five other Democratic-led states that provide comprehensive health coverage to poor and disabled immigrants living in the U.S. without permanent legal status. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is scouring payments covering health care for immigrants without legal status to ensure there isn’t any waste, fraud or abuse, according to public records obtained by KFF Health News and The Associated Press.…

By CHRIS MEGERIAN, SEUNG MIN KIM and KONSTANTIN TOROPIN, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday aiming to rebrand the Department of Defense as the Department of War — a long-telegraphed move aimed at projecting American military toughness around the globe. “It’s a much more appropriate name, especially in light of where the world is right now,” Trump said. He said the previous name was “woke.” The order comes as some of Trump’s closest supporters on Capitol Hill proposed legislation that would codify the new name into law, with Congress having the sole power to…

By SAM MEDNICK and SAMY MAGDY, Associated Press TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Associated Press reporting into an Israeli attack on a Gaza Strip hospital that killed 22 people, including five journalists, raises serious questions about Israel’s rationale for the strikes and the way they were carried out. Among those killed was Mariam Dagga, who worked for AP and other news organizations. Israeli forces struck a position well known as a journalists’ gathering point, because — a military official said — they believed a camera on the roof was being used by Hamas to observe troops. The official cited “suspicious…

Can’t we all just Melo out? The feud between Nuggets fans and Carmelo Anthony celebrates its 15th anniversary early next year. Our favorite basketball beef’s growing facial hair now. It’s old enough to enroll in driver’s ed. Time for the Nuggets to steer this narrative back to sanity. Time to retire Anthony’s number. To rip the Band-Aid off. To make peace. To stop pretending he didn’t happen. Anthony is being inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame this weekend. So how come he’s still notably absent from the rafters at Ball Arena? “(It’s) well-deserved. I always thought (Melo) would…

A week ago, the quarterback on the opposing sideline was a difference maker against the Colorado Buffaloes. As CU prepares for a new opponent Saturday, it is once again the quarterback who stands out. The Buffs will host Delaware on Saturday (1:30 p.m., Fox) at Folsom Field, with junior Nick Minicucci leading the Blue Hens. Minicucci didn’t win the starting job out of camp, but when Zach Marker went down with a likely season-ending injury on the second series last week against Delaware State, Minicucci was ready. He completed 28-of-36 passes for 270 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing…

By KONSTANTIN TOROPIN and CHRIS MEGERIAN WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order Friday to rebrand the Department of Defense as the Department of War, his latest effort to project an image of toughness for America’s military. The Republican president can’t formally change the name without legislation, which his administration would request from Congress. In the meantime, Trump will authorize the Pentagon to use “secondary titles” so the department can go by its original name. The plans were disclosed by a White House official, who requested anonymity ahead of the public announcement, and detailed in…
