Keeler: CU Buffs receiver Omarion Miller sealed place in Boulder lore with kiss from Michael Irvin and love from Michael Westbrook. “Y’all haven’t seen nothing yet.”

BOULDER — That puppy just became a dawg.“Incredible player!” Michael Irvin told me, loud and proud, as we walked off Folsom Field together Saturday. “Incredible player.”After a few steps, the three-time Super Bowl champ and Pro Football Hall of Famer crept up behind that incredible player, sight unseen.Then he pulled CU freshman wide receiver Omarion Miller close, like a cheeky uncle, and kissed that dawg straight on the helmet.“Big-time players make big-time plays in big moments,” Irvin, the former Miami Hurricanes All-American, said to the teen from Louisiana. “And that was (big).”Was it ever. You know how you’ve found a star? When they make the freaking impossible look routine. Then they go out and top it.With 1:26 left in the third quarter, Buffs down 27 and trying not to get Oregon-ed again, the 6-foot-2 freshman beat USC’s Jacobe Covington in a dead sprint up the left boundary, reached out with his left arm whil...

Kickin’ It with Kiz: No-hopers. Broncos surrender 70 points. Rockies lose 100 games. What’s worse?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:34:20 GMT

The Broncos losing 70-20 irks me more than 100 losses by the Rockies, because at least the Broncos have the talent to prevent that kind of debacle. While really bad, 100 L’s are the product of greedy Rockies management that won’t give the team the talent it needs to compete.Ed, DenverKiz: It’s a week of Colorado sports that will live in infamy. The Broncos got Josephed. As a wise (acre) friend told me, 10 touchdowns are a lot in any NFL game, especially when they are scored by one team. Even worse: Lost in the darkness, our Pet Rocks stumble home from Coors Field to a basement apartment with no windows in McGregor Square. I’m confident, however, the crazy-rich Waltons will do whatever it takes to return the Broncos to football glory. Rockies owner Dick Monfort? I wouldn’t give him five bucks and trust him to return home with a can of SpaghettiOs.What irks me is Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph has more lives than a Stephen King cat. How and wh...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:34:20 GMT

Twelve cities in Los Angeles County have filed a lawsuit Friday against the new zero-bail policy set to take effect on Oct. 1.The policy would allow some criminal suspects with non-violent or non-serious crimes to be cited and released when, previously, they would have been held on bond.The new Pre-Arraignment Release Protocols are designed to rely less on the arrestee's ability to pay and more on their risk to the public or victim, Los Angeles County Superior Court stated following a July decision to institute the system. According to the protocols, those arrested for low-level, non-violent offenses will be released at the location of arrest or booked and then released with a promise to appear at arraignment.Court papers submitted to the L.A. County Superior Court on behalf of the dozen cities said the new zero-bail policy is a threat to public safety.The cities behind the suit include Arcadia, Artesia, Covina, Downey, Glendora, Industry, Lakewood, La Verne, Palmdale, Santa Fe Spri...

Congress passes stopgap bill to avert shutdown ahead of midnight deadline

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:34:20 GMT

(CNN) — Congress passed a stopgap bill to avert a government shutdown just hours ahead of a critical midnight deadline when funding for federal agencies was set to run out. The Senate passed the measure Saturday evening after the House abruptly reversed course earlier in the day and passed a bipartisan bill to extend government funding after days of uncertainty over whether a shutdown could be averted. The bill will next need to be signed into law by President Joe Biden. The bill will keep the government open through November 17 and includes natural disaster aid but not additional funding for Ukraine or border security. It also includes a measure to keep the Federal Aviation Administration operational. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the stopgap proposal Saturday morning, a move that came after weeks of in-fighting among House Republicans and a failed effort to pass a GOP stopgap bill in the chamber. The bill passed the House with an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote. The...
