From the ESPN story on Ja Morant:
"Glendale, a small enclave surrounded by Denver known for its strip clubs and shopping centers."
I mean ... that's a slogan for a city if I've ever heard one.
From ESPN this morning:
"The Rockies are coming off 103 losses. Hopefully that will be rock bottom, but this is an organization wandering in the baseball desert without any grand plan."
A spot-on summary in just two sentences.
I have no problem taking away your AR-15.
When you miss it we’ll send thoughts and prayers. Because if thoughts and prayers are enough for a parent who misses their murdered child it will be enough when you miss your AR-15.
These siblings thought they were about to be surprised with some stuffed animals — but instead they got something much - much - much better.
I’m here for all of this.🌎❤️
Per
@ZachLowe_NBA
, when he asked Dirk Nowitzki about comparison to Nikola Jokic:
"Damn," he texted. "That's a compliment. I wish I had his skill set. His passing is so good it's a joke. I unfortunately always wanted to score and not pass."

I’m in the minority. And this will probably end up as a Freezing Cold Take down the line … but I think I’d rather have Russ and let Payton walk.
Okay. Got that out of my system. Carry on.
MLB Teams in *smaller* markets than Denver with Division Titles since 1993:
STL (11)
CLE (10)
SD (4)
CIN (3)
BAL (2)
MIL (2)
KC (1)
PIT (0)
(Pittsburgh did it in 1992, fwiw)
The size of your city isn't what's to blame, Dick.

saying we needed to take a moment to appreciate people while they are living instead waiting until they are gone.
So here’s mine tonight at Ball Arena for Stevie Nicks. An absolute musical goddess.
Another week. Another school. Another collection of children running for their lives. Another set of parents burying their child.
Another week of “leaders” doing nothing about it.
Oh, and “Stick to Sports” guy? Kiss my ass.

I can tell you without question one of the most genuine & kind souls I have ever been lucky enough to cover in my career. His smile would light up 100 rooms. He met my son once at a practice. From that day forward if he saw my son he went out of his way to say hi. Heartbroken.
If you're one of the folks who refuses to wear a mask, I hope every time you walk by a permanently closed bar or restaurant than you remember one thing:
You caused this.
If you are someone who considers the NFL Anthem Policy a "win" you are a politically motivated fool.
A win would be if the day comes when there isn't a need to protest in the first place.
This afternoon seems as good a time as any to remind you:
Sometimes the nice ones are covered in tattoos and the assholes are the ones you see at church.
Nolan,
Thank you.
For the excitement you brought to the stadium. For sharing your talent with us in Denver. For your obvious love of the game.
You deserve better and I hope you find it over the course of the rest of your career.
You will be missed. Greatly.
Sincerely,
Nate
Because I believe in the power of positive thought:
Today has been a difficult and painful day for some people very, very close to me. If you are so inclined, throw up a 🙏 in the replies if you don’t mind on their behalf.
With gratitude and love…Thank you.
It’s been ten years. A decade of missing your laugh and wondering what could have, and should have, been. You and eleven others simply went to the movies and never came home. I miss you, Jessi, but am forever grateful for every moment we spent together.
The rumor was that the Timberwolves were offering 4y/$16mil but he turned them down to stay on the Nuggets beat.
Really excited to have Ryan joining our team.

We are ecstatic to add Ryan to the MHS team as our lead Denver Nuggets Analyst!
Ryan brings his brand of dynamic reporting to MHS and will steer our basketball coverage at starting today!
“John Elway knows quarterbacks as well as anybody.” - Troy Aikman
No, Troy. He doesn’t.
The list of quarterbacks you just showed on your broadcast proves that.
Troy has nailed a lot of his commentary tonight. But not that.

Some might think after 12 years it would get easier.
The only way you think that is if you’ve never lived it. Because it never gets easier. Ever.
Love you, ‘sis’...Today and always.
"According to the NBA’s Last Two Minute Reports, Jokic has been on the wrong end of a bad call a league-leading 14 times this season. Twice as many as the second-most player."
Really recommend this whole story and everything from

This is my annual reminder to put your phone away. No one wants to watch fireworks on your phone. Watch through your own eyes.
Be present. Be happy. Be grateful.
For the people trash-talking Andrew Luck—go live your own f#*&ing life and let him (and everyone else) live his own.
He gave his body for your 3 hours of entertainment every week. He wants to actually HAVE a “rest of his life” to live.
You don’t get a vote. You never did.
My thoughts are with the families who have not seen justice and continue to miss their loved ones and grieve every day. One verdict is not enough for systemic change, but it is a step.
🙏
Now let's **finally** put Randy Gradishar in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in two weeks and it'll be a great start to 2024 for two deserving Denver legends.
