Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:16:08 GMT

ST. LOUIS - It was another Sunday morning of sometimes heated but always civil political debate on Hancock and Kelley on Sunday, Sept. 17, 2023.John Hancock, Republican consultant, and Michael Kelley, Democrat consultant, discussed the following topics:A homeless camp on the lawn of St. Louis City Hall appears to be growing, and city officials have no plan to remove it with used toiletries in plain sight.  One woman is 7 months pregnant.  Her husband fears she may give birth in a tent on the lawn. The couple is protesting a lack of “coed” shelter space for married couples.           Cash bail is officially against the law in Illinois starting Monday. Suspected felons will be freed “en masse” unless a state’s attorney can show a judge clear and convincing evidence that a suspect poses a threat to a person or community and/or the suspect is likely to flee.   Missouri’s pro sports teams ...

Broncos heroes and zeros: Kareem Jackson’s ejection could cost Denver more than one game

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:16:08 GMT

A look at the heroes and zeros from the Broncos’ 35-33 loss to the Washington Commanders.Marvin Mims Jr.: Do the Broncos finally have a vertical threat? If the first two quarters of Sunday’s game are a harbinger of things to come, the answer is a resounding yes. The Oklahoma product’s first (and only) two receptions Sunday went for 60 and 53 yards (the former for a touchdown), and his lone punt return went for 45. After Sean Payton’s offense was completely devoid of big plays in Week 1, suddenly there’s a ray of hope. Provided Payton actually uses him, of course.Eric Bieniemy: So, maybe the former CU Buffs star/coach knows what he’s doing after all? Dismissed as an Andy Reid understudy in Kansas City, Bieniemy is out to prove himself as the Commanders’ offensive coordinator and play-caller this season. On Sunday, he didn’t just match wits with Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, he toyed with him, especially in the second half ...

Despite 0-2 start, Broncos Hall of Famers Champ Bailey, DeMarcus Ware see light at the end of tunnel under Sean Payton

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:16:08 GMT

Former Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey was full of swag as he walked up to a scrum of reporters with his gold Hall of Fame jacket and sunglasses. Moments later, former outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware entered the scene and couldn’t help but talk about Denver, which he called “God’s Country.”Bailey and Ware represent the glory days of the Broncos organization. Ware helped Denver to win Super Bowl 50 –the franchise’s third title. Bailey, who played 10 of his 15 NFL seasons in Denver, was a part of five playoff appearances and a Super Bowl in 2013.As both players were at Empower Field at Mile High for Sunday’s matchup against the Washington Commanders, they looked back at their time in Denver and what it will take for the franchise to return to its winning ways. Ware and Bailey agreed that change starts and ends with first-year head coach Sean Payton.“He’s a proven winner and that’s something we needed around here,” Bailey said. “I’m looking forward to seeing how successful we ca...

Broncos four downs: Man, it’s good to be a CU Buff right now. Unless you’re Vance Joseph.

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:16:08 GMT

Initial thoughts from Broncos’ 35-33 loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 2 at Empower Field:1.Vance, this ain’t it. One former Buff called a whale of a game Sunday at Empower Field. Unfortunately, that CU dude in question wasn’t the one in the employ of the Broncos. So what exactly are we doing here, Vance Joseph? While Eric Bieniemy was screening the Broncos to death the way the CSU Rams chucked crossing route after crossing route at the Buffs late Saturday night, Joseph’s defense looked a step late and several salary-cap dollars short. Gifted a 21-3 lead some 21 minutes into Week 2, the Broncos proceeded to get outscored 32-12. The Commanders averaged 4.6 points over their final seven non-kneeldown drives, in a league where the average points surrendered was 1.72 per series. Over the first two games of an 0-2 start, the Broncos have surrendered 2.89 points per drive, which sounds to us like a good way to go 6-11 or 7-10. And a good reason to start the searc...

Kurtenbach: The 49ers were nowhere near their best against the Rams. The fact that they still won speaks volumes

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:16:08 GMT

The 49ers’ Week 1 win was perfection.Their Week 2 win was gritty.And while everyone prefers the first option, the second might tell us more about the 2023 Niners.San Francisco knew that not every game this season would be as easy as the opening win against the Steelers. How could they be?No, this league is too good. The competition is too tough. Most games this season will resemble Sunday’s choppy, chippy 30-23 victory over the Rams in front of a partisan crowd in Los Angeles. (Partisan for the Niners, that is.)And yet, even in a game where the 49ers missed so many opportunities, they were still far and away the better team on the field Sunday.If Niners quarterback Brock Purdy had simply connected on one of the three wide-open deep pass opportunities he overthrew Sunday, this contest would have been a blowout.But he missed on all three and wasn’t good on third downs, where the team was just 2-of-9. Meanwhile, the 49ers defense started the game on the back foot, and...
