Although we’re all fans of lacrosse, I think in general, players and those involved on the business side tend to forget what it’s like to be a fan. Fans feel a sense of ownership and even protectiveness over their teams and players, even if it’s completely irrational.
Now that Anthony has met with his top two suitors, it is up to Melo and the Nuggets to figure out where he is willing to play out a 3-year $65 million extension.

For the first time in 13 years (when they were stunned by Elway, TD, and the rest of the Broncos crew) the Green Bay Packers advanced to the Super Bowl…and Jay Cutler will always suck.
Stan Kroenke, current owner of the Denver Nuggets & Colorado Avalanche, will need to strike a delicate balance if he hopes to become majority owner of the St Louis Rams.
The loss relegates the Denver Nuggets to a likely 5th seed, as the Utah Jazz control their destiny in the race for the Northwest Division after a win at Golden State.

The Rockies led 4-0 before Milwaukee fought back with tallies in the 5th & 7th. Both teams scored in the 9th Inning to make it a 5-3 final in favor of Colorado.
With 8 games to go, the Nuggets will need a win tonight at the Mavericks and a strong finish to reacquire the 2nd seed in the Western Conference playoff field
Avalanche defenseman Ruslan Salei, fresh off of a season-long injury, is back among the ranks of the unavailable.
The groove is contagious, and that’s why we saw Aaron Afflalo, Johan Petro and even Anthony Carter making plays throughout a 3rd Quarter where Portland fought tooth & nail to scrape their way back into the game.
