Broncos rookie arrested after girlfriend calls 911
LITTLETON, Colo. — Denver Broncos rookie tight end Richard Quinn was required to spend the night in jail after being arrested on harassment and domestic violence charges.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department said Quinn was arrested early Monday afternoon after a woman called 911. The woman told deputies that her live-in boyfriend, Quinn, grabbed and shook her to the ground during an argument and grabbed the phone from her while she was trying to dial 911.
The 22-year-old woman told deputies that Quinn also grabbed her cell phone. She says she ran to another house in the suburban Denver neighborhood to call police.
BIG 12 FOOTBALL Missouri Tigers, coach striving to prove worth
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel already senses a prove-something attitude from his team.
Even though they played in the last two Big 12 championship games and were briefly the nation's No. 1 team during that span, there are some underwhelming expectations for the Tigers this season after quarterback Chase Daniel finished his senior season and receiver-kick returner Jeremy Maclin left early for the NFL.
During the Big 12 coaches conference call Monday, Pinkel described the game as "our opportunity to show that we've got a decent football team, and I'm proud of the way they played."

The men focused on staying together as well.
"Last year I didn't have a great race here," Stowe said. "It was really exciting to come through and feel strong doing it."

MANHATTAN — A sellout crowd filled the stadium, making it look like a giant bowl of purple jelly beans. More than 300 former players returned and lined the Kansas State sideline wearing their jerseys.
Carson Coffman threw two touchdown passes to Attrail Snipe, and Kansas State had a less-than-stellar start to the second Bill Snyder era, holding off Massachusetts 21-17 on Saturday.

the triumphant return of the coach who's name adorns the stadium.
Kansas State bumbled its way through Snyder's first game in three years, turning it over three times and allowing a blocked punt return for a touchdown to fritter away most of an 18-point halftime lead. The Wildcats had one good quarter (the second) and spent most of the second half as if they were playing in sand, managing

"We've got a lot of improvements to make," Coffman said. "I was kind of embarrassed by our performance, especially in the second half. We got off to a slow start, picked it up and got shut out in the second half. We can't do that if we want to win here."
