Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Colorado welcomed fans for its spring game as it prepares for Year 2 of the Deion Sanders era in Boulder. Though the weather did not cooperate with advantageous conditions, the game itself provided enough thrills for the fans who showed up to get a sneak peak of what's to come in 2024.

Kentucky landed a commitment from highly coveted Wake Forest transfer Andrew Carr on Sunday to cap a big weekend in the portal for first-year coach Mark Pope. Carr, who is No. 77 in the CBS Sports Transfer Rankings, is in line to start at power forward for the Wildcats in 2024-25 as he uses his fifth and final season of eligibility.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said he pulled Siri from Saturday's game versus the White Sox in the third inning due to a lack of effort, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Siri didn't show much hustle in going after an Eloy Jimenez double in the second inning and was removed before the bottom of the third. Cash noted that he considers the matter closed and that there will be no carryover, so it sounds like Siri could be back in the lineup Sunday. The center fielder struck out in his lone plate appearance Saturday and has fanned at a 44.4 percent clip on the season.

Nebraska is heading into the 2024 season with some significant intrigue. The Cornhuskers are not only in Year 2 of the Matt Rhule era, but carrying one of their biggest recruiting wins in recent memory on the roster with five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola. Raiola is the son of a former...

The Chiefs selected Hadden in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 211th overall. Hadden started his career at famed JUCO, Independence Community College in Kansas. He got himself onto Tennessee's radar and made 15 starts for the Volunteers over three seasons. He has good length for a corner at 6-foot-1 but has suspect foot speed (4.57). Hadden also had a number of injuries that cost him time at Tennessee. If he can avoid the injury bug, Hadden could stick in the Kansas City secondary.

Thursday must have been a bizarre night for Kirk Cousins, the Falcons' $180 million quarterback who watched as his team essentially drafted his future successor before Cousins has taken his first snap for the franchise. The night included a phone conversation between Cousins and Michael Penix Jr., the quarterback Atlanta...

An immigrant from south of the border told the Denver City Council Monday that newcomers staying in city shelters are treated like “animals.”. Willy Bastidas addressed the council during the public comment period. Members of the dais to not respond to comments in order to give more people time to speak during the 30-minute session.

Houston, TX

The Texans selected Jordan in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 205th overall. Jordan led Louisville in rushing yards last season (1,128) and compiled 13 touchdowns on the ground, but the running back will turn 25 at the start of the season and is very slight (5-foot-9, 193 pounds) for a ball carrier that doesn't have a ton of straight-line speed (4.53 40-yard dash). Jordan's vision and craftiness to set up blocks made him an explosive playmaker in college, but that sort of time won't be allotted to him at the professional level.

Kwan went 2-for-5 with two runs and a stolen base Saturday in an extra-inning victory versus Atlanta. Kwan's speed was on display throughout the contest, as neither of his base knocks left the infield and he crossed the plate on a steal of home in the eighth inning. The third-year outfielder had had an impressive beginning to the campaign, notching at least one hit in 17 of his 26 contests. He's slashing .345/.378/.469 with three homers, eight RBI, 25 runs and three thefts through 119 plate appearances.

The Texans selected Bullock in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 78th overall. Bullock was a safety at USC and could very well stick there in the NFL, but at just 6-foot-2, 188 pounds he risks getting clobbered in run defense if he doesn't add any weight. There are at least two bits of good news on this, though. The first is that Bullock might have the skill set to play at corner anyway, and at that position he'd have close to the ideal frame for press coverage. The second is that Bullock is still young, turning 21 on April 30. If Bullock were something more like 200 pounds in a year or two it wouldn't be shocking, and at that point he'd have a more conventional safety frame.

I've always had Hunter Dickinson projected to return to Kansas next season, mostly because it was always going to be his best option. So Friday's announcement that the two-time All-American will indeed play a fifth year of college basketball — and second straight with the Jayhawks — had no impact on the 2024-25 CBS Sports preseason Top 25 And 1.
