BUFFALO, N.Y.

The St. Paul Saints’ third season as the Twins’ Triple-A affiliate is in the books under the leadership of manager Toby Gardenhire, who has promoted a winning culture while staying focused on the primary task of preparing the Twins’ top prospects for the big leagues.The Saints have a combined record of 225-202 over the past three seasons, including a high-water mark of 84-64 this season. Being the one who makes it all go, Gardenhire has drawn praise from throughout the organization for the job he has done.Combine all that with the fact that he has been tutored on the craft of managing by his father, Ron Gardenhire, who won 1,200 games over 16 seasons as a major-league manager, including 13 with the Twins, and it’s not a reach to suggest that Gardenhire could emerge as a candidate for any major-league jobs that open during the offseason.For his part, Gardenhire said he would welcome the chance to return the Saints’ dugout next season, to continue working in what is basically his home...Rosemount soccer coach takes on double duty, coaching Irish girls and boys teams

Being a coach presents its challenges, from time commitment to bringing together athletes with different personalities and agendas.Coaching one single team can be too much for some, and the idea of coaching two at the same time would have many scratching their heads, wondering, “Why they would ever do that?”Rosemount High School boys soccer coach Todd Farrington has done just that, and doubled down.Farrington has been coaching the boys’ team at Rosemount for nearly a decade, with this season being his ninth. This fall, he’s also coaching the Irish girls.Girls head coach Gretchen Stramel stepped away from the coaching position after her team won a state championship last season, and Farrington was asked to fill the role. Given that he was already coaching the boys team, he said it wasn’t an easy decision to make, and there were some concerns when he ended up accepting the role.Questions swirled about how he would juggle practices and games between the two teams, and...Glens Falls starts water flushing this week

Kiz: I’ve seen some stuff in 40 years covering your Denver Broncos, but never witnessed the Orange get crushed like this. Ten touchdowns? In one game? Are you kidding me? The pattern detected by our friend Tom Green of 9News — 17 points by the Raiders, 35 by the Commanders and 70 by the Dolphins — suggests the Bears might score 140 on the Broncos. How does this Denver defense recover from this debacle? Or should a down-to-the-studs rebuild begin immediately?Gabriel: If the Bears score 140, Kiz, I’m going to step way out on a limb over Lake Michigan and say the season is a lost cause. A slightly more serious thought: Chicago’s bad. So is Denver. Whichever team loses Sunday is going to have a hard time not thinking about Caleb Williams and the 2024 quarterback class even though both teams thought they were set for the long haul at quarterback — Justin Fields drafted in 2021 and Russell WIlson traded for in 2022.
