Brenton Doyle stole the show. The Rockies’ Gold Glove center fielder upstaged a seven-inning gem by lefty Austin Gomber and big nights at the plate by Brendan Rodgers and Kris Bryant in a 5-2 win over the Padres on Friday night at Petco Park. Doyle went “Air Jordan” to rob former Rockie Jurickson Profar of a home run in the eighth inning.

FORT COLLINS — As the Colorado State football team broke its huddle to begin the first practice of fall camp Friday morning in the shadows of Canvas Stadium, the voice of graduate defensive back Henry Blackburn could be heard loud and clear. To paraphrase, Blackburn emphasized that this is the Rams’ time.

For Tim Patrick, a familiar routine of standing at the podium and fielding questions felt like uncharted water after two years in the shadows. When asked how it felt to be back at training camp after back-to-back season-ending injuries, the Broncos wide receiver smiled as it took him a moment to collect his thoughts. “I’m sorry.

Pat Shurmur seemed to be quoting from the original football rule book on Friday. “It’s pretty simple,” the Colorado offensive coordinator said after the Buffaloes’ fifth practice of preseason camp. “The ball is oval shaped, full of air, made of leather. We want to secure it collectively and advance it. It’s pretty clear in my brain, right, and so that’s what we’re trying to do.” Sounds like a good plan, and if the Buffaloes can secure the oval-shaped leather ball and advance it with regularity, they could be pretty good on offense this season. Tasked with making sure the Buffs can advance the ball is Shurmur, who comes into his first full season as the coordinator with rejuvenation. The 59-year-old Shurmur is a long-time NFL coach whose most recent job before coming to Boulder was as the offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos in 2020 and 2021.
