Comment on MLB: Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna receives 75-game ban

There’s a reason Michael Porter Jr. has been at the center of all the trade buzz involving the Nuggets, and it has nothing to do with the front office’s opinion of him. The internal regard for Porter is high, in fact, all the way up to ownership.

Nix and zones may bring Mahomes, but names will never hurt him. “Bo’s used to being the top dog. He’s not intimidated. He thinks he belongs,” David Morris, Bo Nix’s longtime quarterback coach and founder of QB Country, said a few days ago by phone when I asked about Broncos-Bills and Denver’s first playoff game since 2015.

Led by rookie quarterback Bo Nix, the Broncos are back in the playoffs for the first time since Peyton Manning led the team to a Super Bowl 50 win. And for the first time since the Hall of Fame quarterback retired, Denver looks like it has a long-term answer under center. From Trevor Siemian to Case Keenum to Nix, here’s a look at the Broncos’ different quarterbacks during that span, who they are, how they fared in the role and where they are today.

As the second round drew to a close, San Francisco took USC outside linebacker Drake Jackson.

As a 17-year-old competing as an amateur in the Israeli Women Basketball Premier League, Lior Garzon offered a glimpse of the collegiate star to come. The CU graduate student, who transferred to Boulder after two years apiece at Villanova and Oklahoma State, played that winter for Maccabi Ra’anana. She averaged double-digit scoring and was named the league’s rookie of the year, a performance that followed Garzon leading Israel to the bronze medal in the FIBA U18 Women’s European Championship. “Once she had a few games in that professional league with double-digit points, playing next to top-level players, and she was already dominant, I already understood then that she was a special talent,” recalled her national team coach, Roie Levin. “Her rebounding, her size, her shooting ability separated her.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Trying to diagnose the true ceiling of this Colorado Avalanche team has been a season-long challenge, but anyone who wants to believe this club can win 16 playoff games in the spring should point to a sequence Thursday night in the second period.
