Carmelo Anthony may not be an All-Star in the eyes of NBA coaches, but he showed the home crowd he was worthy in his first game back after missing a 10 game stretch.

Denver quarterback Jay Cutler was on the Dan Patrick radio show Thursday. It was Jay in rare form. Every time we hear him with the media in Denver, Jay is reserved and sometimes abrasive.

Mhcsports would like to extend a congratulations to Chauncey Billups for making the Western Conference All-Star team. The selection marks the fourth time in his career Billups will be among the league’s best. The honor is definitely well deserved as Billups has single-handedly altered the chemistry and mindset of the Nuggets since he came over in the Allen Iverson trade [...]

The plan going into this two game road swing was for me to cover both contests in one post, but after seeing the Nuggets lose to New Orleans Tuesday I would rather focus solely on that matchup. In part because of my frustration with the loss and in part because let’s be honest; Memphis isn’t [...]

Miss part one? Catch up here.
Before we get in to the second part of this preview of the Rockies 2009 rotation options, it’s worth addressing again the two big pieces of news surrounding Rockies hurlers, which Bowen touched on in detail here.

With the news that Peter Forsberg has begun skating with the goal of finding out whether or not there’s enough in his creaky ankles for one more shot in the NHL, it seems like an appropriate time to pay tribute to Peter the Great. I have called Forsberg the most sublimely talented athlete in Denver [...]
