At this time one year ago, Peter Holland was home in Toronto adjusting to life after hockey.Last Saturday, he was also back in Toronto, celebrating the second day of his son Chase’s life. It was a quick trip home that he and his family will never forget. It could also be one more chapter in his winding journey as Holland attempts to get back to the NHL for the first time since 2018.Holland signed a professional tryout contract with the Avalanche last month after spending a year in retirement and four seasons at hockey outposts such as Hartford, Conn., Rockford, Ill., Yekaterinburg, Russia, and Stockholm.“It’s weird because I’ve been here before and played a lot of games in this league, but I still feel like the new guy walking around because it’s been so long,” Holland said. “It feels really good to be back in this setting and playing with guys who are at the top of the sport. It’s been a lot of fun so far.”Holland is one of several players on PTOs in C...

Upon Further Review: Dolphins tormented Broncos with their run game in historic blowout

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:18:44 GMT

The Miami Dolphins’ success in the run game against the Broncos on Sunday afternoon was a mix of head coach Mike McDaniel being Jimmy Neutron with his play calling and the offensive line being unstoppable.In the third quarter of Denver’s 70-20 loss, the Dolphins were facing a third-and-10 with 8:53 to go when quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was in the backfield with running back Raheem Mostert and rookie De’Von Achane lined up out wide. Tagovailoa faked a handoff to Mostert before tossing the ball to Achane in motion on an end around.The Texas A&M product, who rushed for 203 yards on 18 carries, had multiple Denver defenders slipping and sliding as he ran 40 yards to the Broncos’ 5-yard line.That was one of several plays that saw Miami use misdirection and motion to record 350 yards on the ground — the most in franchise history.“They got to the edges early on,” Broncos head coach Sean Payton said. “Their wide-zone schemes got to our edges. There’s a little more coverage dedicat...

CSU Rams got the finish they wanted, now look to build on it

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:18:44 GMT

FORT COLLINS — Saturday night in Murfreesboro, Tenn., the Colorado State football team got the finish that eluded it a week earlier in Boulder. Now the Rams hope to build on their first win of the season.In game full of big plays and pivotal moments against Middle Tennessee, the Rams found themselves in a familiar position at the end of the game. CSU was ahead by eight points with just over two minutes left and had to punt the ball to the Blue Raiders, giving them the same opportunity it gave Colorado a week earlier.But this time the Rams held on, not allowing the Blue Raiders to get the tying touchdown and two-point conversion the way the Buffaloes did the week before.“We fell short against CU in a very similar situation,” CSU defensive lineman Grady Kelly said. “I think we all knew, we all looked to the left and right and said, ‘That’s not going to happen again in this game. That’s not going to happen again all season.’ If the offense puts us in a situation where we’re up in...

Colorado football: Travis Hunter not ready for return to field for Buffs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:18:44 GMT

It appears that Travis Hunter will miss at least one more game for the Colorado Buffaloes.CU’s star sophomore did not play in last Saturday’s 42-6 loss at Oregon because of a lacerated liver.On Monday, Well Off Media posted a YouTube video in which head coach Deion Sanders shared a text exchange with the team between Sanders and Hunter.Hunter wrote to Sanders: “I need to play this week. We need to get everything we can so I can get back on the field. I’m not taking no for an answer.”Coach Prime responded to Hunter by writing, “No, you ain’t ready and I care about you more than I care about this game. You’re gonna change the game of football one day when you’re healthy and ready. Your future is brighter than mine ever will be and ever was. Relax and get healthy. I love you son.”CU (3-1, 0-1 Pac-12) will host No. 8 USC (4-0, 2-0) on Saturday at Folsom Field (10 a.m. MT, Fox) and certainly could use Hunter, who is arguably the Buffs’ best player on both sides of the ball.Related Articl...

Kurtenbach: The Warriors’ 2023-24 goal — do the opposite of everything they did last season

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:18:44 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors have a theme for the 2023-2024 season, and they’re not being subtle about it.For the Dubs, this upcoming campaign is all about connectivity.The Warriors weren’t connected last year — what, with their two-timeline conundrum and the whole punching of teammates at training camp thing.Sure enough, that lack of understanding and trust showed on the court and brought about the team’s second-round exit — its first in the Western Conference playoffs under coach Steve Kerr.In retrospect, it was all so easy to see.And so this past offseason was about getting the Warriors to sing in harmony again.While changing general managers and adding the team’s sworn rival to the roster seem like bold moves to make amid such a mandate, both Kerr and that new GM, Mike Dunleavy Jr., believe this team will avoid the pratfalls of dysfunction this season.Related ArticlesGolden State Warriors | Want a part of the Warriors? 10% of the ownership stak...
