BOULDER — Great offensive lines, the best of the beasts, can’t be portaled. It’s the one fatal flaw in The Coach Prime Plan. Maybe the only flaw, come to think of it, short of academic red tape. And the Buffs chucked that baby out the window once they jumped onto the Deion Sanders party train.“They really need,” Pat Ward told me by phone Friday morning, “to play together.”Ward knows his stuff. Now the varsity football coach at St. John’s High School in D.C., one of the Cherry Creeks of the Beltway, Ward is among the leading offensive line teachers in the northeast, a former four-year letterman at Maryland who went on to tutor a half-dozen All-Americans and a handful NFL players. He founded his Ward Line Academy in 2012 and was an assistant coach at the Under Armour All-American Game in 2013.He also was Jordan Seaton’s high school coach before the kid transferred to IMG.

SAN JOSE – Erik Karlsson said after last season that he wouldn’t have minded remaining with the San Jose Sharks had he been in his early twenties instead of his early thirties.Despite the Sharks having the worst record in the NHL, Karlsson said he remained bullish on the team’s future and is a believer in general manager Mike Grier’s plan as the franchise continues with a rebuild that could last for a few more seasons.“It’s an unfortunate part of the business and the cycle, where the team and the organization are right now,” Karlsson, 33, said. “Unfortunately, the clock is ticking a little bit faster (for me) than I would have liked.“The people that came in, the people that are trying to shape this (are) good people. They have good intentions and a purposeful plan.”Karlsson in August was traded by the Sharks to Pittsburgh in a three-team deal that brought back to San Jose forwards Mikael Granlund and Matt Hoffman, defenseman Jan Rutta, and a conditional Penguins first-round dr...

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — A booth at the Florida Republican Party’s Freedom Summit made swift business of Donald Trump merchandise on Saturday, selling everything from socks to bathtub rubber ducks that paid tribute to the former president.Vendor Peter Crotty also had Ron DeSantis T-shirts. But he discounted those items from their original $25 down to $5, an 80% discount on the Florida governor’s name. The excess inventory needed to go, Crotty said.It was just one sign of Trump’s strength and DeSantis’ challenges in the 2024 Republican primary fight. Barely two months from the first nominating ballots being cast, Trump is flaunting his advantages by trying to embarrass the governor in the two rivals’ shared home state, where party activists on Saturday cheered any mention of the former president and booed at any criticisms of the GOP 2024 front-runner.“Florida has shown the way forward for the Republican Party,” DeSantis told the crowd, drawing applause ...
