After the win, Dre Greenlaw ran after and yelled at—and threatened head ref Brad Allen—which led to his 1-game suspension.

But Greenlaw was following Payton’s lead.

I moved out to Colorado almost 3 years ago, and I haven't regretted it for a second.

We have a huge community making it clear that we intend to defend our democracy!

Also, the blue of our skies just hit different!

If the legislature puts a measure on the ballot for Colorado to leave the US and join Canada, I’d vote for it.
