Monday, Calgary Flames forward Jaromir Jagr cleared waivers and was assigned to play the rest of the season with a professional hockey team in the Czech Republic, HC Kladno. The move very likely represents the end of Jagr’s storied 24-year NHL career. Jagr, who will turn 46 in February, saw a decrease in production this

When the Denver Broncos won Super Bowl 50 back in February, everyone kept talking about one thing — Peyton Manning. The big story was how Manning was finally able to win that elusive second Super Bowl ring. He was finally able to win the big one. Not only that, it ended up being his final

It has been quite a month for the Denver Broncos. Last month they defeated the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50, 24-10, and were on top of the football world. Now it looks like they are free-falling back down to Earth. Last Monday, as was expected, quarterback Peyton Manning announced his retirement. Despite quarterbacking his team

This is a quiet time of year in sports. The NFL season is over, college football is over, the MLB season hasn’t started yet. The NBA, NHL and college basketball are all going on, but none of them are at the playoffs. For football in particular, an offseason lasting around half the year can be

Perhaps it is too early say, but this year certainly feels like a transition between eras in the American sporting world. The old guard that has represented the sporting interests of the American public for so long are, after what feels like an eternity for any 20-something-year-old sports fan like myself, are preparing their retirement

This Sunday, Peyton Manning will play the 293rd — and likely last — game of his career. In the 292 previous, including postseason games, he’s passed for more than 80,000 yards and nearly 600 touchdowns. He’s won five NFL MVP awards, seven first-team All-Pro selections and 14 Pro Bowl nominations. He holds the records for passing

On Sunday, the Broncos and Panthers won their respective conference championships and punched their ticket to play each other in the Super Bowl in a couple of weeks. It will be a record tying eighth all-time Super Bowl trip for the Broncos and the second time in franchise history for the Panthers. It also shows

At halftime of Sunday’s AFC Divisional Playoff game against Pittsburgh, Denver found itself trailing, 10-9. All the Broncos’ points had come from field goals, and their offense, led by veteran quarterback Peyton Manning, looked sloppy. Sure, many of his receivers kept dropping passes, but Manning’s throws were often off target, and the Broncos had to

Five-for-20. 35 yards. No touchdowns. Four interceptions. Peyton Manning will forever be associated with those stats. The stats from Sunday’s game, in which he broke Brett Favre’s all-time passing yardage record and was subsequently pulled in the 3rd quarter. The stats from what might be his last game. Even those stats are generous to the 5-time MVP.

Pack it in boys, it’s all over. Tebowmania is finished for good this time. He couldn’t find success with the Jets, Bill Belichick couldn’t find a way to use him in New England and not even Chip Kelly — among his wave of inexplicable personnel decisions — could find a place on a 53-man roster for
