Curt Schilling questions character of Kirby Puckett in Hall of Fame rant Kirby Puckett has had his dirty laundry aired in public (at least in the media) on multiple occasions, perhaps most notably in this 2003 Sports Illustrated piece, three years before his early death.
It is a part of the Puckett story that most Twins fans either honestly don’t know about or choose to forget about — or, at the most, gloss over when thinking about the baseball hero.
The less-than-perfect side of Puckett the human, in fact, gets buried so deep that it becomes somewhat shocking when someone brings up his name in a negative way. More

Eighteen years ago, on a steep snow slope high in the French Alps, on skis nearly eight feet long, Ross Anderson of Durango set the American speed skiing record that still stands: 154 mph.
Across a career that spanned 17 years, he was the lone person of color in an obscure form of skiing in which competitors sheathed in aerodynamic suits ski straight downhill searching for maximum velocity, an experience he likened to jumping out of an airplane.
Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag.

“My goal is to be out there every game,” Braun said the previous Thursday, after a practice at Ball Arena.

Georgiev spent two-plus seasons as the starting goaltender for the Colorado Avalanche.
In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene as trade season begins in the NBA. Among the topics discussed:
Zach Lavine to the Denver Nuggets … not so fast, sweetheart. Can the front office make a pitch to move enough pieces to upgrade — Or not upgrade?
Perception of the 2024-25 Nuggets is turning into a case study of optimism vs. pessimism.
Are you a glass-half-full kind of person? Then when the Nuggets improved to 14-10 with their latest miracle this week in Sacramento, you probably thought of the remarkable number of clutch moments they’ve conjured in such a small fraction of this season, from a refreshing variety of sources.
You probably dwelled on Jamal Murray’s game-winning step-back jumper with 8.6 seconds remaining.
