David Beckham, Landon Donovan lead Galaxy to victory over Colorado Rapids -
23 Apr 2012 in Rapids
Leave it to David Beckham and the reigning MLS Cup Champion LA Galaxy to draw the second largest crowd in the history of Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado, which has been home to the Colorado Rapids since the park’s opening in 2007. The Rapids dominated play most of the night, but an own-goal by Marvell Wynne off a set-piece and a goal by Landon Donovan 18 minutes later were enough for the Galaxy to overcome their deficiencies in front of a frenzied standing-room only crowd of 19, 152.

23 Apr 2012 in Rockies
The Rockies season started pretty rough, we all know that. A 4-5 start in the first 9 games, marked by inconsistent pitching and sloppy defense, left the fans feeling like a long, cold summer was ahead. But after a couple series showing significant improvement, it seems as if the 2012 version of the Rockies squad is starting to settle in and is looking increasingly more comfortable in its own skin.

Rockies drop second straight series -
12 Apr 2012 in Rockies
t’s not hard for the sheen to wear off the new baseball season quickly. Conventional wisdom is to not judge a baseball team on short stretches, but to look at 10-game segments. At this point, there’s not a lot of evidence to offer that the Rockies next 4 will go any differently than the first six. With suspect pitching, atrocious defense, and an inconsistent offense, it’s becoming clear that the revamped, new-look 2012 Rockies aren’t all that much different than the 2011 version: inconsistent and frustrating.

Rockies start quick, falter in opening series against Houston -
09 Apr 2012 in Opinion
Opening Day is the most optimistic of all days of the year. It’s a time to take the pessimism that you spend years cultivating and put it aside, to take the detailed analysis and statistics and put them all on the shelf and revel in the equality of every team being 0-0. That feeling only lasts until you lose your first game, of course – and for the Rockies, it lasted precisely two days.

29 Mar 2012 in Rockies
One thing is certain – the Rockies need big time production out of their outfield this year, as another year of inconsistent hitting will not only keep the team out of the pennant race, but shine the light on some big dollars that are now being spent on outfielders on this year’s edition of the Colorado Rockies.

NFL adopts playoff overtime rules for regular season -
28 Mar 2012 in National&NFL
Under pressure from coaches and fans alike, the owners voted today to adopt the playoff overtime system for the regular season as well, making the rule consistent, and ending the long-standing sudden death system that NFL has held onto, even as college adopted a matching-possession system years ago.
I'm a Colorado sports fan, through and through. I haven't always lived here, but somehow the sports teams stayed in my blood, and let's face it... it's unhealthy to be so involved in sports teams, so here's to a healthy outlet...
