Comment on Keeler: Nuggets need Russell Westbrook to be agitator, Bruce Brown-style, not just facilitator

BOULDER — A third of Colorado is covered by forest. The rest is covered by Travis Hunter. So you can imagine the shock last November when Folsom Field got to see Arizona wideout Tetairoa McMillan up close for the first time. It was as if King Ghidorah turned right at Mt.

This decision day, the Rapids need a result. Not for a playoff spot — that’s already been claimed for the first time since 2021. Not for home-field advantage in the first round — that one was in their grasp but slipped in just five games. The Rapids need a result to prove to themselves that they are who they think they are.

FRANKLIN, Tenn.– Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler was arrested and charged with driving under the influence and possession of a handgun after a minor collision on Thursday. Cutler, 41, who played for the Denver Broncos from 2006 to 2008, was given a $5,000 bond and was released, according to a statement from the Franklin Police Department.

Barton recorded eight tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a recovery that resulted in a touchdown during the fourth quarter.

NEW ORLEANS — Cody Barton swears he thought another chance was coming. That’s how good he felt Thursday night. That’s the kind of outing it was for the Broncos defense. Barton had no rational reason to think such things, but lo and behold, the football gods delivered. The sixth-year linebacker lost a chance at his first career touchdown early in Denver’s 33-10 win over the Saints at the Superdome when his scoop-and-score return was negated by a D.
