5 days ago | timeswv.com | Bennett Durando

DENVER (TNS)— The Nuggets have their hands full with Tom Brady. Intellectually, that’s the comparison David Adelman offered for James Harden this week, needing a different sport to accurately place the patience and precision with which Harden operates a pick-and-roll. The idea is that he’s still got it, even as his beard grays. kAmp?@E96C 2AE A2C2==6= H@F=5 36 s6?G6C’D @H?

U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden, who handed the AP a victory last week in its efforts to end the ban, said it’s too soon to say the President Trump is violating his order — as the AP suggests.

And those were only photos from Ken Griffey Jr., who's apparently not just really good at baseball. kAm|J 72G@C:E6 A:4EFC6D 7C@> E96 |2DE6CD[ 9@H6G6C[ 5:5 ?@E >2<6 E9:D =:DE] x?
