ENGLEWOOD – Saturday’s NFL draft, at least for the Denver Broncos, wasn’t as much about whom they drafted as it was about how much better coach Mike Shanahan and company made the team. In that vein, the day wasn’t as much about their two players as it was about the players their divisional opponents drafted.…

DENVER  – Athletes and their coaches constantly talk about doing the “little things” the right way. They talk about the “little things” so often that the little things have become one sport’s biggest clichés. The only problem with the “little things” cliché is most people don’t know what the little things are. Given the Colorado Rockies’…

DENVER – Troy Tulowitzki walked into the Colorado Rockies clubhouse Monday and found out his team didn’t need him against the Philadelphia Phillies. Then along came a few Jeff Baker mishaps, and the Rockies actually did need Tulowitzki. More on Baker later.

Call it the maturation of Morales. Morales was instrumental in the Rockies’ late-season run last year. After he was called up from the minors, Morales finished…

DENVER – Minus a rangy second baseman, the Colorado Rockies have fielded the same team that played last year’s postseason. Too bad. The Rockies need to be better than that if they’re going to come close to making the playoffs again. Obviously some explanation is needed. The Rockies team that played last year’s postseason, making…

DENVER – All the pomp and circumstance was there. Banners lined the fences and walls on 20th Street, which runs just south of Coors Field. Fans were lining up to get inside the stadium more than 4½ hours before the game’s 2:05 p.m. start. Friday was a school day, too, but sons, fathers and grandfathers made…

Didn’t think it would happen. Didn’t think enough folks from Colorado Springs could come together and build a package that would keep the United States Olympic Committee here on the Front Range. Figured more citizens would come forward and voice complaints about the amount of public money being used to keep the USOC where it…
