Golf: Justin Thomas Ties For Lead

LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani set a major league record by homering and stealing a base for the 14th time in the same game and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the last-place Colorado Rockies 6-4 on Friday night. The win reduced the NL West-leading Dodgers’ magic number to four to clinch the division.

BROOMFIELD — Broomfield football waited five long years to face off with cross-town rival Legacy again, and on Friday night at Elizabeth Kennedy Stadium, their anticipated matchup didn’t disappoint. Generally offensive gladiators, Class 4A’s top-ranked Eagles struggled to get much of anything going against Legacy, instead relying on its defense to squeak out a 14-13 victory. Two years after its Class 4A state championship berth, Broomfield looks just as lethal.

Last week reminded us that the Broncos are in deep trouble this season. Once again, interceptions were thrown, penalties called, runs stuffed and hands wrung. The blaring alarm comes from offensive statistics that look bad, are bad, and seem impossible to comprehend for a team not wearing leather helmets and playing on black-and-white TVs with rabbit ears. No one disputes the premise that the Broncos offense stinks.

Oliver Kylington was excited about a new opportunity, but he did not have spending more than two weeks in a Canadian hotel room on his offseason preparation bingo card. Kylington signed a one-year contract on Aug. 5 with the Colorado Avalanche. The 27-year-old is one of several new defensemen with the organization who, along with Sam Malinski, are competing for one of two openings on the blue line in the Avs’ lineup. When training camp started Thursday, Kylington had to wait.

After the Broncos’ road matchup against Tampa Bay, a trip to West Virginia awaits. Denver will practice at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, ahead of traveling to New Jersey for its Week 4 matchup against the New York Jets. The team’s getaway in West Virginia is a call back to head coach Sean Payton’s days in New Orleans. Payton took the Saints to Greenbrier to practice for three straight seasons, starting in 2014.

For one game and 12 snaps, Baron Browning put together a powerful start to his 2024 season. Then the fourth-year outside linebacker dropped out of Denver’s 13-6 loss to Pittsburgh with a foot injury. Head coach Sean Payton on Friday ruled Browning out for the Broncos’ Week 3 trip to Tampa Bay.
