With Stan Kroenke as owner, the Rams, Mammoth, Avalanche and Nuggets have been champs in football, lacrosse, hockey and basketball since the start of 2022. Let’s encourage him to buy the Rockies.Walt, wishful-thinkerKiz: Stan Kroenke is one driven, stubborn dude who refuses to lose. Yes, those traits can cut both ways.

But this is my truth: With all due respect to the late, great Pat Bowlen, the greatest sports mogul that this dusty old cowtown has ever seen is Kroenke.Assuming Jokic doesn’t lose interest, the Nuggets could go on a San Antonio style run over the coming decade.Peter, Bow...
