Northbound South University Boulevard Reopens After Crash

BOULDER — The microphone ain’t big enough for the two of them. Louis Riddick’s right. So’s Michael Irvin. The Dallas Cowboys need Deion Sanders. The NFL needs Deion Sanders.

Quinn Meinerz was the perfect bodyguard to pave Troy Franklin’s path to the goal line.

Veen, 22, is ranked as the Rockies’ No.
