That’s why he said what he did during the trophy presentation Sunday after his record-breaking eighth Wimbledon championship: I hope this wasn’t my last match. First of all, there’s the no-way-around-it matter of his age: Federer turns 36 on Aug. 8; he is the oldest man to win Wimbledon in the Open era, which began in 1968. In February 2016, he had the first operation of his career, arthroscopic surgery to repair torn cartilage. Federer returned to the tour that March, then missed the French Open because of lingering back problems, ending his record streak of 65 Grand Slam tournament appearances. After a semifinal loss at Wimbledon a year ago, he took the rest of the season off to let his body heal, missing the U.S.

LINCOLN, Neb. — If you’re a late-arriving sort of Buffs fan, a Dodgers sort of Buffs fan, you’re probably wondering what the heck this whole “slow-start” fuss is all about.

Chase Dollander, Rockies’ top pitching prospect, aiming to be a bona fide ace: “We are truly building a top-of-the-rotation guy”
Denver Post, Sunday - 09/08/2024 - 07:45 AM
Chase Dollander is the Rockies’ ace-in-waiting. At 22, he holds the promise of a pitcher with enough talent and confidence to defy the odds in Colorado’s mile-high altitude. Ubaldo Jimenez in 2010 (19-8, 2.88 ERA, third in NL Cy Young Award voting) and Kyle Freeland in 2018 (17-7, 2.85 ERA, fourth) had phenomenal seasons with the Rockies, but their star power proved unsustainable. With Dollander, selected ninth overall out of Tennessee in the 2023 draft, there is legitimate hope he can become an ace for the long haul — something the Rockies have never had. Of course, that won’t be determined until Dollander tests his potential in the majors.

Keeler: Deion Sanders, CU Buffs, not ready for prime time, get punched in mouth by Nebraska
Denver Post, Saturday - 09/07/2024 - 11:34 PM
LINCOLN, Neb. — You don’t bring a 30-carat diamond watch to a sword fight. A Maybach can’t block. An NIL deal won’t chip an angry defensive end. You can’t microwave what has to be baked, slowly. The Buffs were built for this moment. A foundation made of glitter, sand and promises, broken like so many hearts.
