DALLAS — Jamal Murray called his shots. With a laugh and maybe a little venom in his in voice, he said Tuesday morning when asked how much his sore left knee is affecting him: “If you watch the game, I’m sure you’d be able to tell. At least the last game. “But I should be better today.” It turned out to be an understatement.

The Colorado Avalanche’s power play had a very bad Tuesday night, and the head coach called it the least of his worries. That’s how little Jared Bednar thought of his team’s performance — even if the result ended up being much better than the process. Devon Toews scored with 36.1 seconds left in overtime and the Avalanche rallied for a 3-2 win against the New York Rangers at Ball Arena. “Hey, we’ll take the points, but yeah … unimpressive,” Bednar said.

The Chicago Bears interviewed Broncos senior personnel executive David Shaw for their head coach opening on Tuesday, the team announced. Shaw completed his first season in Denver after joining the team’s personnel department last June.  Shaw has college and NFL coaching experience. The 52-year-old served as Stanford’s head coach from 2011-22. Before that, he spent time as an assistant with the Philadelphia Eagles, Oakland Raiders and Baltimore Ravens. Shaw was among the group of coaches who interviewed for the Broncos head coach job after the team fired Nathaniel Hackett late in 2022 — a gig that eventually went to Sean Payton. Shaw is not the only Denver staffer to be looked for a head coaching job. Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph is expected to interview with the Las Vegas Raiders for their open head coaching job, a source told The Post.

Sorry. Don’t buy it. Deion Sanders and Jerry Jones are more effective business partners apart than they could ever be under one roof. When Coach Prime needs leverage, he talks to Jerry. When Jerry needs clicks, he calls Deion. Why ruin the perfect relationship by moving in together? “To hear from Jerry Jones is truly delightful, and it’s intriguing,” Sanders, the CU Buffs’ popular second-year football coach, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday night.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston on Tuesday vetoed a new law to expand access to needle exchanges, one day after the measure was passed by the City Council. Johnston described the ordinance as “the wrong solution at the wrong time” in a letter to the City Council released by his office Tuesday night. “I support harm reduction strategies and also believe we need to place more emphasis on connecting individuals from needle exchange programs to substance misuse services to help them break the cycle of addiction,” Johnston wrote. The ordinance would have allowed an unlimited number of needle exchanges in areas zoned for medical offices and removed the 1,000-foot buffer between the sites and schools or day cares. In the veto letter, Johnston wrote there is “no reason” to remove the cap on needle exchange programs in the city and claimed there is no evidence that providers need an unlimited number of sites or that Denver residents want them. Johnston also claimed the use of syringes for drugs has declined and the city’s providers are able to meet the current need. The mayor also objected to removing “common sense setbacks” for the sites, according to the letter. Three needle exchange programs operate in Denver, with the first opening in 2011 because of limitations in state law. Denver City Council approved the measure on an 8-5 vote on Monday.
