DENVER (KDVR) -- An Anti-drinking-and-driving group is speaking out after the Colorado Rockies announced they are extending alcohol sales at home games.On Thursday, the team announced they are extending alcohol sales from the seventh inning to the end of the eighth inning.The move is being made to adjust to Major League Baseball-mandated quicker games.Among those paying attention to the announcement was Fran Lazer. Will Coors Fields’ 8th-inning beers cause more crime? Lazer is the State Executive Director for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).“Here in Colorado, last year, 281 people died in suspected impairment fatalities, on our roads," said Lazer.He said MADD, as of yet, has not been contacted by the Rockies for any sort of input or collaboration.Lazer hopes that changes.The alcohol extension begins April 17, when the Rockies return home to face the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Records Repeat

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 14:59:06 GMT

We had two back-to-back record setting days in southern New England with numbers climbing back to the 80s again today. Boston and Worcester both set new records today — and Worcester broke their old record by 10°!Boston was in the 80s up until 1:00 this afternoon and when the sea breeze kicked in there was a dramatic drop in temperatures. From the 80s to the 60s!The cooler air will stay in place for the weekend, but it’s still not a terrible weekend by any stretch. It’s just a more seasonable weekend. Even as I was forecasting today, putting 60s on the 7 day seemed chilly (mentally), but that’s just because we spent the last week in the 70s and 80s. Our average high temperatures is still only in the 50s.Saturday will feature more sunshine and be warmer (at least inland). Temperatures will be about 10° cooler on the coast. There could be an isolated shower on Saturday evening but most of the day looks to stay dry.Sunday will be cloudier and cooler and have iso...

Chris Perkins: The Dolphins’ second-round pick will be successful. It’s almost a guarantee

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 14:59:06 GMT

Expect the Dolphins to make a strong selection at No. 51 in the NFL Draft later this month. That’s what I’m expecting.I’ll even take it a step further and say I’d almost be shocked if this pick doesn’t produce as a rookie, and keep producing three years into his career.Why?He’ll be a second-round pick, and recent history says that’s almost can’t-miss territory for the Dolphins.During the last 10 years the Dolphins’ second-round draft pick has pretty much been money. They’re talented players that have been developed well by the organization, and, for the most part, they’ve stayed healthy. It’s a winning combination.A few years ago I learned I should buy into this trend.So, here I am again; I’m all in.I’m thinking the Dolphins’ second-round pick will be productive. Now, and in the future.The Dolphins could go many directions with this year’s second-rounder. Tight end (Iowa’s Sam LaPor...
