KRIEGER: We were the best of teams

February 27, 2009

It is as inexplicable to me now as it was almost three months ago when our parent company announced it wanted out of Denver. Other than Bob Seger, I never knew anyone who wanted out of Denver.

LINCICOME: Sports will go on, just without the Rocky

February 26, 2009

I didn't read the News today. Oh, boy. Nor tomorrow and tomorrow.

Denver, Rocky good sports

Denver, Rocky good sports

February 26, 2009

The suits at NBC were worried. It was June 1965, the network had just signed a lengthy deal with the American Football League, and now it was stuck with a "backwater, small-market team" - the Denver Broncos.

TOMASSON: Scoring race likely to come down to final game

February 26, 2009

ESPN is currently scheduled to show Houston at Dallas at 6 p.m. MDT April 15, the season’s final day. Network executives might want to rethink that one. Scheduled to start the same time are Detroit at Miami and Philadelphia at Cleveland. How about a split screen, with one game on each side?

RINGOLSBY: Ramirez not the key to the Dodgers' success

February 26, 2009

Put the Mannymania on hold. Yes, Los Angeles is a star-studded town, and yes Manny Ramirez became a Dodger darling in his two months with the team at the end of last season. No doubt if he finally signs with the Dodgers there will be a positive reaction from the fans. But get serious.

SADOWSKI: Avalanche not buyers this time around

February 26, 2009

Barring a miraculous finish, the Avalanche is going to miss the playoffs for the second time in three years. It's quite a comedown for a team that won division championships its first eight seasons in Colorado, advanced to the Western Conference finals six times and captured a Presidents' Trophy.

LEGWOLD: Broncos have plenty of holes to fill on defense, special teams

February 26, 2009

At almost every opportunity to throw the Broncos defense of 2008 under any passing Greyhound, first-year Broncos coach Josh McDaniels has instead offered something on the order of: "We want to make the whole team better."

KRIEGER: Pro sports still stepping up to the trough

February 25, 2009

Pro sports' idea of recognizing hard times is to temporarily postpone the inexorable ascent of ticket prices by holding the line for a year.

LINCICOME: Woods is PGA Tour's economic stimulus

LINCICOME: Woods is PGA Tour's economic stimulus

February 24, 2009

Working just from memory, this must be at least the fourth edition of Tiger Woods, the consistent theme being that in each he has been terrific.

KRIEGER: Rockies crystal ball says 85 wins

KRIEGER: Rockies crystal ball says 85 wins

February 23, 2009

Two years ago, I predicted the Rockies would win 85 games, which they had never done. Readers found my prediction amusing. So did editors, who slapped the following headline on it: This might come back to bite me. Nevertheless, for 2009, I am here to tell you again that the Rocks will win 85 games. Photo gallery

KRIEGER: Stewart can solve Rockies' woes

KRIEGER: Stewart can solve Rockies' woes

February 22, 2009

There is only one element of the Rockies' blueprint for 2009 that I don't understand. When club brass put together the tentative everyday lineup, it did not include Ian Stewart, the one player in the organization with a chance to replace the departed Matt Holliday's power numbers.

LINCICOME: Steroid Era brought about by the not so young and stupid

February 22, 2009

The term "dumb jock" has lasted as long as there have been jocks, dumb or otherwise. Age has never been a qualifier until Alex Rodriguez made it one. To be young and dumb, or young and stupid, cannot be an excuse for anything after the age of consent, speaking legally.

SAUNDERS: Dues paid, Goodman living dream

February 22, 2009

Drew Goodman chuckles when recalling his first broadcasting job. Actually, "broadcasting" stretches the definition.

KRIEGER: Impatient Rockies hitters need Baylor's expertise, credibility

KRIEGER: Impatient Rockies hitters need Baylor's expertise, credibility

February 20, 2009

Credibility with big-league hitters, especially those who have had some success, is hard to come by for a hitting coach. Don Baylor brings more credibility to the job than any hitting coach in Rockies history. He has more career home runs and more MVP awards than anyone on the roster.
