Punched RIGHT in the AFC(e)
MMSR: 1/25/26Well, congratulations, New England. You did it. You defeated Josh Allen, and made it to the Super…oh wait, no, that was us. That was the Broncos. We beat Josh Allen, and the real threat in the AFC outside of Drake Maye and Bo Nix. The REAL AFC Championship game was played a week ago …
What Are You Thankful For?
Midwest Mountain Sports Report 11/26/25 I really hope that you sang the title of this post to the tune of Cocomelon. It’s Week 13 in the NFL, and I’m staring down an A+ slate of Thanksgiving football. We open the day with an NFC North clash in Detroit with the Lions hosting the Packers, both …
Thursday Night Leftovers and a Sunday Sample Platter
Midwest Mountain Sports Report 11/21/25 It got pretty competitive for a Thursday night. We have a good idea of who most of our NFL teams are at this point–who is good (Denver Broncos), who is fraudulent (Buffalo Bills???), and who could be competitive with a couple of lucky breaks (Panthers??? Bears???). The NBA and the …

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
MM Sports Report 9/1/25 The NFL season is nearly upon us! I feel like I have a slight case of football amnesia from last season, which I’m told can be a side effect of participating in the sport. I recall that the Eagles won the Super Bowl in dominant fashion, the Vikings had an over-achieving …

Night and Day Hockey Play
MMSR 4/29/25 He actually did it. With nearly seven minutes gone by into the second period of Game 4 against the Dallas Stars, Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog buried a goal from the top of the circle to net his first NHL point since June 26, 2022. It’s been nearly three years of rumours buzzing …
Doom Scrolling in Denver
MMSR 4/22/25 Well that wasn’t how we wanted that game to end. After blocking the initial zone-entry shot, the puck seemed to sit in front of the Colorado Avalanche net for an eternity. “One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three…” in fact, it sat there for SO long, I had enough time to think, “wow, that puck …
Fading Stars & Shining Knights
MMSR 4/21/25 There are always signs that something is a little different. For example, two defensemen leading the rush for the game-winning goal to seal Game 1 on the road. That was certainly different from the series we saw last year where the Avalanche and the Stars met in the second round of the Western …
Winter Sports Potpourri
Midwest Mountain Sports Report 4/3/25 Hockey Talk:The Colorado Avalanche have a bit of a back door problem. After carrying a 2-0 lead through two and a half periods, the Avs slowly began to squander their momentum to a Calgary Flames team that was outmatched, outclassed and otherwise outskated for much of the game. Fast-forward to …
