Nuggets coach Michael Malone, whose first head coaching job was in Sacramento, ripped the Kings for firing Mike Brown on Friday and revealed that Brown was informed of the decision via phone call after leaving a team practice. “What really pissed me off about it was that they lost last night, fifth game in a row, I believe — tough loss, fouling a jump-shooter — they have practice this morning, he does his post-(practice) media, and he’s in his car going to the airport to fly to L.

By HALLIE GOLDEN Greg Gumbel, a longtime CBS sportscaster who broke barriers during his career calling some of the biggest sporting events, has died from cancer, according to a statement from family released by the network on Friday. “He leaves behind a legacy of love, inspiration and dedication to over 50 extraordinary years in the sports broadcast industry; and his iconic voice will never be forgotten,” his wife Marcy Gumbel and daughter Michelle Gumbel said in a statement.

As Audric Estime plunged into the end zone to cap a bruising opening drive last week in Los Angeles, he did so over a right side that had been completely caved in.

The Rams (8-4) and Miami (Ohio) (8-5) will kick off at 2:30 p.m.

CINCINNATI — There is no mildness to his method. Aggression defines Sean Payton. He craves touchdowns like Homer Simpson does Duff beer. He defended his end-of-first-half clock management against the Chargers with exclamation points. Run out the clock? No chance. He had 17 seconds to go 55 yards for a field goal.

Fresh snow will make roads slick and fuel dangerous avalanche conditions across the mountains this weekend, forecasters say. The National Weather Service wrote that northern Colorado mountains can expect light to moderate snow, with between 8 and 12 inches falling through Friday night near Rabbit Ears Pass and Cameron Pass, and 3 to 7 inches expected elsewhere.
