• Colorado casinos stem the tide

  —Haley's Comment

  Black Hawk and Central City casinos are on pace to post an increase in revenue this year after experiencing a deep downturn in 2008, thanks in large part to higher limits, longer hours and new games, according to an analysis by gaming consultant Bill Palermo. Through October, Black Hawk and Central [...]

• Nuggets Week in Review (Nov. 16 – Nov. 22)

  —Haley's Comment

  The Nuggets continued their home dominance last week, but continued to develop a red-flag trend of not turning up the full intensity until the second half. Save for a hot start in a mid-week game at the L.A. Clippers, the Nuggets needed big second halves to either put games away [...]

• Rockies kick tires on catcher Schneider; Contreras could head to Japan

  —Haley's Comment

  Bracing for the potential loss of starter Yorvit Torrealba, the Rockies have expressed preliminary interest in free agent catcher Brian Schneider. Schneider suffered through a disappointing 2009 with the Mets, hitting .218 with three home runs and 24 RBIs in 59 games. The veteran profiles as a backup at this point [...]

• George Karl on Allen Iverson

  —Haley's Comment

  Nuggets coach George Karl always respected Allen Iverson. Though Iverson’s defense and passing decisions were sometimes suspect, the fact is, Denver managed to win 50 games during Iverson’s lone full season with the Nuggets, in 2007-08. But a little over a year after the Iverson trade to Detroit, the future [...]

  (Denver Post file photo) The numbers really aren’t bad at all. 20 games for Paul Stastny this season, 18 points, and his team is in first place. Nearly a point a game in the modern NHL is good, no matter how you slice it. But we all know it hasn’t quite been [...]

• Re-ranking 2006 QB class

  —Haley's Comment

  If the NFL had to draft all over again, I don’t think anything would change. Vince Young would be the first quarterback, just as he was in 2006. His career record: 20-11. Matt Leinart would be the second quarterback. He hasn’t played in a while but he hasn’t been losing games for [...]

  NEW YORK — Joel Peralta made two of the biggest pitches of the Rockies’ season in back-to-back wins over Milwaukee in June. Manager Jim Tracy called Peralta’s effort gutsy. It was part of Colorado’s turnaround as the Rockies won 17 of 18 games to become relevant again. Peralta, however, tailed off. [...]

• Ruutu gets three games

  —Haley's Comment

  Three-game suspension for Carolina’s Tuomo Ruutu on the Darcy Tucker hit. I predicted 3-5, so the NHL came down on the smaller side. Ruutu will forfeit $59,067.36 to the NHL’s emergency player assistance fund. As I said before, though, it was a suspension-worthy hit, but don’t think it rose to the [...]

  (NHL) Avs reassigned Chris Stewart to Lake Erie just now. Definitely a blow to the kid’s career. He’d been a healthy scratch the previous four games, and this move might not be the huge demotion as it seems on the surface, because the Avs want him to get ice time somewhere [...]
