👋 Good Morning! The Rockies play seven home games this week and there's a good chance that fans of the visiting teams will double the amount of Colorado supporters in the stands at Coors Field. It's always been about a 50-50 split when teams like the Yankees, Braves, Phillies, etc, come to town. But with the Rockies sitting at 8-39, with no signs of things getting better, it might legitimately look like a road game at points this week.

I know I've been a little more vocally critical of this franchise in recent weeks, so I'm going to try not to beat a dead horse here. We're all well aware of how awful the Rockies are right now. But I think it stinks that something that should be exciting, like when a big market team with stars comes to town, is now just another reminder of how truly irrelevant our team is.

I've said it a million times but we're not even asking for that much. Back-to-back years of .500 baseball would feel like we won a championship after the last five seasons. At this point, though, I'm not optimistic about even winning 40 games. — Justin Michael

The most important offseason of the Jokić era

It's a weird time to be a Nuggets fan right now. With so much to be sorted out in the offseason, it's kind of like the franchise is in limbo.

And we have so many questions heading into this offseason …

• Will the Nuggets spend enough to land a big name GM?
  

• Did David Adelman do enough to earn the head coaching gig?
  

• Will any of the core players be traded?

But we don’t know anything at this point. After close to a decade of stability, that uncertainty is a bit of an unsettling feeling.

Whatever the Nuggets decide to do, they must get this offseason right. Nikola Jokić is the best player in the world but not even Michael Jordan could do it alone. They need to go all in while No. 15 is still in his prime. It won't guarantee the team will win another championship, but the Nuggets have no excuses not to take some pretty big swings, particularly with the front office and coaching hires.

This is one of the most pivotal moments in franchise history. It's a summer we'll look back on and either think about how it was the beginning of the next great stretch of the Jokić era, or how it was potentially the end of this team's title window after failing to build enough depth around a generational talent.

Josh Kroenke, you're up to bat. Let's see what you've got.

The Colorado Buffaloes have a revamped roster for year three under Deion Sanders. Our Buffs insider Scott Procter has put together a list with some of the most significant transfer additions the team has added going into the 2025 season.

Here's an except on CU's expected starting QB Kaiden Salter:

Look, I'm not a Buffs supporter, so I'm won’t add any further comment. What I will say is that Scott does a tremendous job covering the program and I highly recommend that you support his work. Nobody is as locked into CU Football as our DNVR Buffs crew.
