Welcome to the first edition of your Denver Sports Roundup, a new twice weekly feature we’ll be doing here at Mile High Maniac.

The previous editor of this site used to do a daily feature called Mile High Roundup, and this is sort of the successor to that.

Every Wednesday and Sunday we’ll collect and recap interesting items from all around the Denver sports universe.
