  DENVER (AP) – With Colorado’s legislative session due to start next week, the main agenda item for Gov. John Hickenlooper seems dead on arrival, a sign that the state’s partisan divides and unorthodox spending limits will continue to paralyze it in 2016.

Otherwise, you have to go back to the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers to see a team defense that dominated the Super Bowl. Most of the time, it’s the star quarterback that gets all the press.
