We read Mims' quotes on his frustration with the Broncos and admitting that this will probably be his last year with the team. With the NBA Draft tonight, we debate what the Nuggets will do. Will they attach one of their players, like Jamal Murray, to trade up in the draft? Will they attach a bad contract to their first-round pick in a trade to get off a player's contract like Zeke Nnaji or Christian Braun? Do the Nuggets need to move on from Aaron Gordon with his health inconsistencies? We react to the Rockies walking off the Red Sox last night with 8 straight hits. The guys speak to the Rockies, continuing to go down a path of competitiveness and competence, while still putting a fun product on the field. We react to the win totals for each of the Big 12 schools in college football. What is Colorado's win total, and where did they rank in the conference? Will CU's new approach to recruiting turn around the program?
