Last night might as well be a mismatch. The Thunder had an easy time of dispatching the Nuggets in their 105-93 victory last night at the Pepsi Center. The score reflected the disparity of both basketball teams in a nutshell. Read More
The Ubaldo Jimenez trade did not work out for anyone. Drew Pomeranz and Alex White never panned out for the Rockies, and Jimenez was not the ace the Indians thought he was going to be. The former Rockies ace’s struggles in Cleveland made it easy for the Rockies to trade Pomeranz this week. Read More

Peyton Manning’s struggles have been analyzed in recent weeks to the point it became ridiculous when some people thought he is not capable of winning in the cold weather. What people keep forgetting is the Broncos defense has become a liability all season long, and that could be the reason the Broncos don’t win a championship this season. Read More
Someone finally told Wes Welker not to play. The Broncos will not have him play tonight’s nationally televised game against the Chargers for Thursday Night Football, and this comes after he suffered his second concussion after a hit by Bernard Pollard on Sunday afternoon. Read More
There is a perception Rockies fans come to Coors Field just to have a good time rather than watch a baseball game. That couldn’t be farther than the truth. Based on Rockies fans reacting about Dexter Fowler being traded and the Latroy Hawkins signing, they care a great deal. Read More
Rockies fans are conditioned to think every move the Rockies make is bad. It should not be surprising they expressed their displeasure about what the Rockies received in return after trading Dexter Fowler to the Astros yesterday afternoon. While it’s foolish to react before guys receive a chance to show what they can do, it’s hard to blame them for reacting negatively in this case. Read More

Oh, Melo. Silly Melo. This is what Carmelo Anthony gets for being a distraction in his final year as a Nugget few years ago. His missed shot that could have sent the game to overtime was karma for orchestrating his departure to New York few years ago. Instead, the Nuggets and their fans celebrated an ugly 97-95 victory over the Knicks last night. Read More

There are losses, and then there are huge losses. Last night’s Broncos’ 34-31 loss to the Patriots falls into the latter category after blowing a 24-0 lead at halftime. This was a meltdown of epic proportions. There’s no sugarcoating this. Read More
Kenneth Faried has been the subject of trade rumors since the season started. There were talks about him being traded to the Knicks for Iman Shumpert, but the Nuggets said it’s not going to happen. It doesn’t mean Faried won’t be traded. If the right deal comes along, he’s gone. There are no untouchables on the Nuggets roster. Read More

The Broncos defense has been criticized going back to their first round playoff exit in January. Their defense let Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco make plays whenever he wanted, and that’s why the Ravens went on to defeat the Broncos in the divisional round. Read More
Broncos fans and Chiefs fans have been fired up all week whether it’s sports radio, Twitter and internet comments on newspapers sites. They have been busy taking shots at each other while defending their teams in the process. It’s great to see this all week. The passion both fanbases have for their teams is palpable, and it’s a reminder that’s it’s on after years of poor to mediocre football by both teams. The Broncos-Chiefs rivalry is in full effect.

Things may finally be turning around for the Nuggets. They are executing well offensively, and it’s not a coincidence the Nuggets won three straight after their victory over the Timberwolves last night. Read More
With so many changes on the Lakers roster and coaching staff, Nuggets coach Brian Shaw cited that as a reason that it was just another game prior to coaching against his old team last night. That’s a good one by him. Shaw must wonder what it would be like to be Lakers head coach.
It’s rare a non-conference college basketball game carry this much buzz in November, but last night’s game between Duke and Kansas was no ordinary nonconference game. Both teams feature two stars that will be the next generation of NBA stars in Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker, so there was going to be interest. Read More
