Comment on Broncos training camp rewind: QB Bo Nix responds well after costly mistake

The 2024 Rockies are making the wrong kind of history. In their 5-2 loss to Milwaukee on Saturday night, the Rockies struck out 15 times as they continued their march toward ignominy. They have now whiffed 1,485 times, the most in the National League, and are well on pace to eclipse the franchise record of 1,543 Ks set last season.

FORT COLLINS — Colorado State collected its first win in a Rocky Mountain Showdown tuneup, but the cost might have lasting effects on the Rams’ season. CSU defeated Northern Colorado, 38-17, in a Saturday performance at Canvas Stadium that will draw mixed reviews in its own right. But the biggest story moving forward could be the availability of star wide receiver Tory Horton for the showdown next weekend with rival Colorado in FoCo.

But Black also said: “You know, in the NFL, you’ve got ‘probable,’ ‘questionable,’ and ‘doubtful.’ I’m going to say it’s questionable, but we’re running out of time.” Bryant, 32, has played just 159 games since signing a franchise-record, seven-year, $182 million free-agent contract in the spring of 2022.  He continues exercising and getting treatment to strengthen his back but is not doing baseball activities. Bryant has not played since Aug.

LINCOLN, Neb. — Bring up Deion Sanders, and Rodney Lousberg can spot a jealous Nebraska fan from the Middle of Nowhere. “Every (Cornhuskers fan) goes, ‘He’s egotistical,'” Lousberg said of the Buffs’ second-year football coach before CU kicked off against rival Nebraska on Saturday night at Memorial Stadium. “I’m like, ‘Yeah.

FORT COLLINS — There are a variety of ways to build a successful program in the ever-changing college football world. Ed Lamb has chosen the path he believes will help Northern Colorado claw its way toward the top of the Big Sky Conference, and it runs right through the heart of the Centennial State. “We have decided to take the long-term developmental approach and recruit Colorado high school kids,” Lamb said ahead of his team’s Saturday clash with Colorado State at Canvas Stadium.
