Broncos punter Jeremy Crawshaw had a promising rookie season. The biggest thing that special-teams coordinator Darren Rizzi wants to see from Crawshaw in his second season is consistency and "limiting the bad punts."

Charlotte’s scorecard so far. Everyone does it a slightly different way

Watching Brewers-Marlins with my daughter, and we are both keeping score.

Broncos coach Sean Payton, from OTAs on the progress of WR Pat Bryant: "He's a quick study. He gets it real fast. I think one of his great skill sets is his run after the catch because his feet stay on the ground when he catches it. He's got strong hands in traffic. ..."

The progress of the Broncos' 2025 first-round pick, CB Jahdae Barron, is palpable to Pat Surtain II. "He's been studying in the film room. You can tell he's progressively getting better," Surtain said last month.

The wildfire smoke in Wisconsin is otherworldly tonight:

Northwoods League baseball on a smoky, hazy night in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin:

Support local football. I’m in my Wisconsin portion of the calendar so I’m checking out @forwardmadisonfc.bsky.social vs. @richmondkickers.bsky.social. And respectfully to the Kickers, as a Richmond native, I feel justified in saying their side is an embarrassment. 55 minutes, no SOG & 5 yellows.

Why do I prefer posting here? Because commenting on the notion of going to full-time Daylight Savings Time doesn't bring the virulent responses like the ones I get on the bird app, which include these gems. Bloody cesspool over there

Close enough

How will the Broncos replace the sack production of John Franklin-Myers, who had 7.5 sacks last year? As Vance Joseph noted last month, it could be a collective.

With the recent news that RTD is considering bringing back BroncosRide in time for the 2027 season, here’s a look back at what the park-and-ride map to Broncos home games looked like back in 1981:

Nothing like a little electric boogaloo on the highway:

Why is the toilet so happy?

Wild that my mom hung on to these decades-old t-shirts I wore when I was in fifth and sixth grades:

Digging through stuff at my parents’ place, and mom held on to this circa-1980 shirt of my dad’s, from the ancient age when conferences were sensibly sized and comprised:

‘Murica

Mr. Unlimited’s brand at Disney World, where you need an unliiiiiimited budget

“Dear Mr. President, there are too many states nowadays. Please eliminate three. I am not a crackpot.”

Among the truly finest headlines ever written:

Wow. Rockies battle all the way back from a 7-0 eighth-inning deficit to take the lead. Hunter Goodman’s third-deck HR puts the Rox in front. Boo-birds are howling at Target Field

The continuing baseball tour takes me where the Rockies are tonight: Target Field in Minneapolis:

Parking-lot attendant over the phone: “There is no shuttle stop.” View from where I placed the call. Also, If you’re ever at the Charlotte airport, never use The Parking Spot. Unless you want unhelpful staff and the drivers to roll right past you after you called for pickup.

Charlotte is right up there with PNC Park in Pittsburgh for the best skyline view in baseball. A minor-league park that feels a lot like a big-league venue:

From the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers game I saw earlier today. Such a good pup!

Cheers to you from Spartanburg, S.C, a.k.a. Sparkle City, former training camp home of the Panthers, now home to a sparkling new park that the Hub City Spartanburgers call home:

A recent study at Johns Hopkins University revealed that the taste of a hot dog and fries is improved by 32 percent when served in a helmet

I detoured a time zone off my road trip to come back to Colorado for 17 hours for this! Hopefully the last time i will have this view for a while.
