A young Hayden Pike thought he had hockey figured out. Having just attained the strength to consistently lift the puck and aim for the top corners of the net, Pike was primed for roller-hockey glory in his Lakewood neighborhood. That was until 9-year-old Nicole Hensley, whom Pike recruited to play with him and other boys in games in the neighborhood cul-de-sac, put on her goalie gear and started snuffing out his top-level attempts with her left-handed glove. “I remember thinking I was supposed to be able to score now with those shots,” Pike recalled.

The pundits aren’t pulling any punches. The wise guys at FanDuel put the Rockies’ win total for 2025 at 59 1/2. In ESPN’s “Way-too-early 2025 rankings,” the Rockies are 29th out of 30 major league teams. “Colorado is coming off consecutive 100-loss seasons and, given the strength of the rest of the division, might be hard-pressed to avoid a third straight such season,” ESPN opines.

Goodbye, reality. Hello, reality show. Is there any coach that makes more sense in Las Vegas than Deion Sanders? It is better for our state if Sanders remains at Colorado, where he has made the Buffaloes relevant again. But almost every NFL hiring cycle features an outside-the-box selection. And this season, if it’s not Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman going to the Chicago Bears, would it be that crazy to see Sanders landing in Las Vegas?

By STEPHEN HAWKINS ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jack Sawyer had the kind of moment that will live on long past his playing days with Ohio State. Of course, one more victory would make it that much sweeter. Sawyer stripped Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers — his former roommate — and returned the fumble 83 yards for the clinching touchdown in a 28-14 victory over the Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl on Friday night, giving the Buckeyes a shot at their sixth AP national title. “We talked before the game about how do you leave a legacy is to become your old legend.
