Germán Bellizzi  - 08/11/2021 12:44 pm Su rutina durante mucho tiempo estuvo ligada al periodismo. Desde chico supo que quería dedicarse a la Comunicación. En él no hubo crisis vocacional, ya que su sueño era ser periodista. Estudió para esto y tuvo la posibilidad de trabajar por más de 20 años en distintos medios. Hasta que un día aceptó la convocatoria para cumplir un rol dirigencial en Banfield, el club de sus amores. Es que sus raíces tienen que ver con Peña y Arenales: su abuelo, su papá y su hermano mayor lo hicieron hincha del Taladro. El protagonista de esta nota es Carlos Carpaneto, actual Director de Fútbol Profesional de Banfield. Producto de su nueva función, ahora es quien recibe la...

https://www.denverpost.com/2009/07/01/theres-only-one-no-7-in-colorado-and-its-not-chauncey/ By THE DENVER POST | newsroom@denverpost.com PUBLISHED: July 1, 2009 at 6:13 p.m. | UPDATED: May 6, 2016 at 9:34 p.m. PARKER — One by one, the kids at Parker Fieldhouse strode to the table where a Chauncey Billups autograph awaited them on Wednesday. Close examination revealed that Billups’ beard isn’t the only new thing about the Nuggets leader. Billups signed some of the autographs “Chauncey Billups #1” — the new number on his Nuggets jersey next season. The superstar guard is letting go of No. 7, which was good to him last season in his return to Denver. Billups chose No. 7 as a tribute to former Broncos quarterback John Elway, a man he idolized growing up in Denver. Elway introduced Billups to the Pepsi Center crowd on May 3, prior to a Nuggets-Mavericks playoff game. “It was in the plan the whole time,” Billups said. “I just felt like No. 7 was great for me. . . . But there’s really just ...

https://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/24/sports/basketball/24billups.html “It’s a dream come true,” Billups said about returning to Denver in an early-season trade for Allen Iverson. “On all levels of my life, it’s just awesome.” By John Branch The New York Times - May 23, 2009 DENVER -- The basketball courts were about a mile from the tidy brick house on Poplar Street, where Ray Billups, Chauncey’s father, was mowing the lawn Friday afternoon. The streets run in alphabetical order, two for every letter, and when Chauncey Billups was a boy he could be heard coming and going to Skyland Recreation Center on Holly Street . The bounce, bounce, bounce of his basketball was part of the Park Hill neighborhood’s daily rhythm section. Between games, he would walk a few doors up to his grandparents’ house for refreshment . Or he would visit his other grandparents, a block over on Ivanhoe Street . The trip to Billups’s basketball playground is longer now, but not by much. The Nuggets play in an arena a...

MATTHEW STOCKMAN/GETTY IMAGES Miami’s Gabe Vincent was relentless as he  battled  Denver’s Jamal Murray for the ball during Game 2. Denver puts on a show; Miami puts up a fight by JERRY BREWER 6 Jun 2023 - The Washington Post Denver — Through two games, it’s clear the Denver Nuggets are better than the Miami Heat . And how much does that matter? Way less than you would think. This is not a basketball beauty pageant . The NBA Finals will be decided, as Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra keeps preaching, within those four lines on the court . The dimensions resemble a rectangle, but the way Miami competes, it seems like the UFC octagon. The Heat players are fighters , and they scrap with their minds and skills as much as their physicality. The Nuggets are taller and more versatile, longer and more explosive . They have Nikola Jokic, currently the best player in the world . But as Miami showed during a 111-108 road victory Sunday in Game 2 to even the series, such logic means nothing. The...

Calme, tranquille... Sorti d’une longue année de galères où il n’a eu d’autre choix que de laisser passer les critiques, le Francais de Soudal-Quick Step a signé son retour en décrochant hier la deuxième étape du Dauphiné, à moins d’un mois du Tour. “Cette victoire, c’est la preuve que j’ai la tête dure      - JULIAN ALAPHILIPPE 6 Jun 2023 - L'Équipe DE NOTRE ENVOYÉ SPÉCIAL GAÉTAN SCHERRER  Un long cri de rage et des premiers mots tout simples, si spontanés, à l’adresse de son équipier Florian Sénéchal en fond de ligne – « pouah, je suis trop content » – ont marqué hier le retour au premier plan du plus grand distributeur de frissons du cyclisme français ces dernières années. En levant les bras hier à La Chaise-Dieu, petit bourg perché sur un promontoire de granit à plus de 1000 m d’altitude, Julian Alaphilippe a fait étalage de sa puissance retrouvée, mis du baume sur les plaies laissées par quinze mois de malheurs et profité pour adresser coquinement, en baissant s...
