After 30 seasons in the MLS, the Colorado Rapids will retire their second jersey number ever. The honor will go to club legend and Rapids original defender Marcelo Balboa, whose No. 17 will be retired Aug. 16 during a home game against Atlanta United. Former Rapids midfielder and head coach Pablo Mastroeni’s No. 25 is…
Trey Murphy III may have won the 3-point shooting contest with Michael Porter Jr., but the Nuggets won where it mattered. Porter scored a season-high 36 points on Monday night, and Denver overcame Murphy’s 41-point heat check for a 125-113 victory over New Orleans. The two Western Conference foes are due for a rematch Wednesday…
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Salvaging this road trip was not easy for the Nuggets, but they got the job done at the last minute on two consecutive nights. Trailing the Hornets by four with 52 seconds remaining, Denver ended the game on a 7-0 run to escape with a 107-104 victory Saturday and return home on…
The plan to bring a National Women’s Soccer League team to Colorado began with a 10-year-old girl demanding answers.

With the Western Conference’s best team in town, Wednesday presented a test for the streaky Avalanche. Colorado flunked. The Jets beat the Avs 3-2 in overtime at Ball Arena, using a pair of second-period goals followed by Neal Pionk’s game-winner 17 seconds into the extra frame to increase Winnipeg’s lead in the Central Division to…
Jordi Fernandez wasn’t in Denver for the coronation, but he helped steer the Nuggets toward the throne. During his six years on Michael Malone’s staff, en route to his own head coaching job in Brooklyn, he left an indelible imprint on players. “No good memories,” Michael Porter Jr. said, straight-faced. “Not a single one.” Kidding….
The 2025 Rockies need a multitude of things to go right to end a string of six straight losing seasons and escape the specter cast by back-to-back 100-loss campaigns. Bringing second baseman Thairo Estrada on board is certainly not a panacea, but the former Giants infielder promises to bring speed, energy and defense to his…
Josh Allen isn’t just difficult to sack. He’s taken fewer than any quarterback in football this year. The Buffalo star has been sacked just 14 times on the season, putting the Bills eight clear of Green Bay, the second-best team in that department. The Broncos aren’t just good at sacking opposing quarterbacks. They’ve generated more…
