Uruguay's World Cup Elimination Could Be Era-ending

Broncos cornerback Riley Moss has been ruled out of Monday night’s matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Even with Colorado’s 52-0 victory over Oklahoma State on Friday, the Buffs (7-2) will need some help to make it to the Big 12 Championship game.

Guys in the Nuggets locker room may have lives outside of basketball, but the Grading The Week team? No chance. No lives whatsoever. We wake up in a triangle offense.

DALLAS — The Colorado Avalanche has shaken up the goaltending position for a second time this season. Colorado traded backup goalie Justus Annunen and a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NHL draft to the Nashville Predators for veteran Scott Wedgewood. The 32-year-old Wedgewood has played for four teams.
