Just like head coach Sean Payton, Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has moved on from the sideline interaction between the two during Saturday’s 42-17 loss to the Detroit Lions. “We are focused on beating New England and playing a good game against them. Obviously, this game matters and that’s where our head is at,” Wilson said. Payton became a national headline after he was caught by the NFL Network broadcast yelling at Wilson after the Broncos were flagged for being offsides, which negated a touchdown late in the third quarter. Payton said after the game that his conversations with Wilson are…

Colorado hasn’t landed the biggest fish in the recruiting pond – yet – but the Buffaloes added a whole bunch of talent on Wednesday. On the first day of the early signing period, CU inked five high school recruits to national letters of intent and announced 16 transfers. What CU didn’t do was sign Jordan Seaton, the No. 1-rated offensive tackle in the 2024 class out of IMG Academy in Florida. With more than 30 scholarship offers in hand, including from many of the elite teams in the country, the 6-foot-5, 290-pound Seaton made national TV appearances to announce his…

TORONTO — When the Nuggets visited Canada in March, it was the nadir of an eventual championship season. They allowed a season-worst 49 points in the first quarter and never recovered in a fourth consecutive loss — part of a lull late in the regular season that briefly made Denver look like a wobbly No. 1 seed. That meltdown was still on Michael Malone’s mind before tipping off against the Raptors on Wednesday night. But what followed at Scotiabank Center this time was more indicative of what the Nuggets went on to accomplish after that losing streak. Playing championship-caliber team…

The Colorado Supreme Court ignited a political firestorm with its ruling that former President Donald Trump is ineligible to hold office again, disqualifying him from appearing on the state’s primary ballot. Just how far those embers reach — and how hot they burn — in coming weeks could shape the country’s political discourse and electoral system. The U.S. Supreme Court will almost certainly weigh in on Tuesday’s ruling, which found Trump committed insurrection with his actions around the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, and is thus barred from office under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. The decision has…

The first migrant families are scheduled to move into temporary housing in the Mullen Home in the West Highlands at the end of this week after the Denver City Council approved a deal between the city and the Archdiocese of Denver. The city will lease the former assisted living facility at 3629 W. 29th Ave., which has 75 apartment units, until the end of next year. Denver plans to use about 30 of the units initially and may increase that number after operations and other services are set up, officials said. Part of the agreement also includes a land swap…

A South Park Hill home that the current owner wants to demolish, but that some neighbors want to see preserved, is now being marketed for sale. A listing for the 4,500-square-foot home on 0.43 acres at 5013 E. Montview Ave. went live on Zillow last week with a $2.73 million asking price. Owners Mark and Marianne Rinehart purchased the home on 0.43 acres through a trust for $2.5 million in September 2022, records show. They want to demolish the structure and build a larger single-family home, according to documents submitted to the city. In November, however, three women who live…

One of the most influential youth soccer coaches in the country is leaving the Centennial State for the Windy City. Lorne Donaldson, president of Real Colorado and the former Jamaica head coach who famously helped lead the Reggae Girlz to an unlikely Round of 16 berth at this summer’s FIFA Women’s World Cup, was named head coach of the NWSL’s Chicago Red Stars on Wednesday. Donaldson, 68, takes over a team that has been in flux over the last few seasons, despite reaching the NWSL Championship in 2021. It’s only fitting given his track record of developing some of the…

National signing day arrived in Colorado on Wednesday and brought with it zero drama — as well as a familiar theme. Each of the state’s most coveted recruits stayed true to verbal commitments made months ago, with every last one of them signing letters of intent with schools outside the Centennial State. The state’s top-rated Class of 2024 prep prospect, three-star offensive lineman Gage Ginther out of Fossil Ridge, was among them. In fact, he’d already joined his new team at Tennessee before the early signing period for senior high school football recruits began Wednesday. Ginther’s pledge to the Volunteers…

Colorado has its first confirmed case of measles in four years, and unvaccinated people who visited Denver International Airport or the Aurora campus of Children’s Hospital Colorado may need to look out for symptoms. Vaccination is highly effective, so people who completed the sequence of the measles, mumps and rubella shot don’t need to worry, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. In some cases, giving the shot to an unvaccinated person within 72 hours of exposure can prevent them from getting sick. While most people recover from measles without complications, it can cause brain damage or…
