At the Civil War Battle of Glorieta Pass in North New Mexico, Union volunteers from Colorado clashed with Confederate Texans trying to take over New Mexico. The battle is referred to as the "Gettysburg of the West" by many historians. The battle occurred from March 26-28, 1862. Which ended in a Confederate retreat to Texas.

We're witnessing a new era of Green Bay Packers football, which inevitably leads to breakups and goodbyes to players who helped define the last half-decade. Adrian Amos is one such example. He was a starting safety for four seasons with the Packers before moving on to play for both the Jets and Texans in 2023. Just like former defensive coordinator Joe Barry did earlier in April, Amos has officially listed his Green Bay house for sale.

The Baltimore Orioles have their young core to thank for their hot start to the 2024 season. While guys like Gunnar Henderson, Adley Rutschman, and Colton Cowser get most of the attention, Grayson Rodriguez's contributions this season shouldn't be overlooked. So far this season, Rodriguez has posted a 3.71 ERA...

NBA Trade Rumors: If Kevin Durant were to be traded this offseason, there would be one clear "favorite" as a landing spot for the All-Star forward. After a stunning end to their season, in which they were swept out of the first round of the NBA Playoffs at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves, it's difficult to map out just how this offseason will go for the Phoenix Suns. In theory, the Suns would improve their roster this offseason around their Big 3 of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, but with no assets, no cap room, and little flexibility beyond that, it's hard to envision how that's exactly going to happen.

Louisville, KY

The 2024 Kentucky Derby will be a historic one on Saturday, May 4 as this year's event at Churchill Downs in Louisville will be the 150th running of this monumental race.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James may already have his desired next head coach in mind for the Los Angeles Lakers. After a relatively disappointing season, the Los Angeles Lakers will be heading into the offseason with the intention of significantly improving their chances of winning an NBA Championship. Running it back last summer (for the most part) wasn't a plan that ended up working. This summer, big changes are expected from the Lakers.

Before the bugle calls the riders up, people gather for their Kentucky Derby party. While the cocktail glasses might be full, the food table needs to be overflowing for the day’s long event. For the home party, it might be time to call in a Louisville classic for that menu. Kentucky Fried Chicken is a great choice for a Derby Day celebration.

Many people have lost faith in the news and question truth from all comers. The idea of a universal truth, outside of the sky being blue and that one plus one equals two, seems to be more and more elusive. One thing that everyone can agree on, however, is that cats are the world's greatest pets. Dogs are fine, sure, but they aren't cats. Fish are kind of fun to look at...for like five minutes. Cats though? No fact check needed. They're the best.
