CU Buffs Football- The Buffs are only 25 days away from their season opener at Hawaii on September 3rd. The Buffs will welcome the University of Massachusetts on September 12th for their home opener at Folsom Field. Hopefully the Buffs will be able to improve on their record last year of 2-10 and a Pac-12 record of 0-9.
Colorado Rockies- The Rockies were able to steal 2 of 3 games at Washington against the Nationals but are still sitting 15 games under .500 with about 45 games left in the season. It doesn’t look like the Rox will make the post season but it’s encouraging to see them put up a fight late in the season even when all post season hopes are gone.
Denver Broncos- Two weeks into training camp the Broncos players are feeling confident. The Broncos have five players on the depth chart this year that played in the Pro Bowl this past January. The Broncos defenders say they’ve been good, but they want to be better, more impactful, more game-changing. The Broncos are 5 days away from their pre-season opener against the Seahawks on the 14th.
Furniture Row Nascar Team #78- The Denver Race Team (Nascar #78) has it’s next race in Bristol, Connecticut on August 22. The Chevy team will race around the Oval shaped track sponsored by Irwin Tools in just 13 days.

Rockies-Off the field, the big news was that Short stop Troy Tulowitztki was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays for Jose Reyes. Reyes has been in the league since 2003 and played his best baseball in 2011 with the Mets, when he batted .337. It’s been a tough week for the Rockies who have lost their last 5 of 7 games. The Rockies offense hasn’t struggled at all, scoring 8 runs in 2 of the games that they lost in the last inning. The pitching has been the Rockies Achilles heel all season but has been especially bad in the past week when the relief pitchers blew two leads in the last half inning.
Next the Rockies play at home vs the Marlins on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and then head to Washington for their next three games.
Broncos- Broncos Training camp has officially began and the team has already completed it’s first three days of camp. New head coach Gary Kubiak isn’t thrilled with the way his team has started off the season. The new coach said “Two days in a row, I felt like the majority of our mistakes are coming at the end of practice,” he said, adding, “I want us to see us finish practice a little better than we’ve been finishing, when we get a little deeper into practice.” Broncos QB Peyton Manning kept the mood light on the practice field when he asked two young fans to run fade routes into the end zone and catch touchdown passes that he threw. Head coach Gary Kubiak seems a little restless with his new team, while Manning a veteran on this Broncos team couldn’t be more relaxed. The Team will begin to practice with full pads on Monday.
