Broncos stock report: Plenty of standout performances vs. Browns, but when will Denver figure out how to start third quarters?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:16:16 GMT

Stock UpLT Garett BollesThe Broncos left tackle put on a heck of a performance against perhaps the best pass-rusher in the NFL in Myles Garrett. He had some help — tight end chips and a concerted effort to leave Garrett free at times in the run game and read him — but No. 72 came up huge when Denver needed him to. Sure, Garrett got pressure a couple of times, but this was about as good as you could ask for if you’re head coach Sean Payton. Don’t look now, but the Broncos’ offensive line as a group is starting to string together really quality performances and looks like one of the better units going.RB Samaje PerineThe veteran back ceded time early in the season to rookie Jaleel McLaughlin, but he’s emerged over recent weeks and now looks like perhaps the Broncos’ freshest back. He’s been reliable as a receiver and really good in pass protection all year. Then he burst for 55 yards on seven carries against the Browns. Before Sunday, Perine had just five carries over the Bronco...

(Photo provided by family of Elijah McClain)The final trial over the 2019 death of Elijah McClain after he was stopped by police in Aurora is expected to delve into largely uncharted legal territory, with paramedics, not officers, being prosecuted this time.Starting Monday, jurors will be chosen to decide if the paramedics committed a crime when they gave the 23-year-old Black man an overdose of the powerful sedative ketamine after he was forcibly restrained by police.McClain went into cardiac arrest on his way to the hospital and was pronounced dead three days later. Three officers already have gone to trial and two were acquitted.The case will be the first of several recent criminal charges against medical first responders to reach trial and could “set the bar” for prosecutors in future cases, said Douglas Wolfberg, a former emergency medicine instructor and founding partner of a Pennsylvania law firm representing emergency me...

Opinion: A one-sided special session struck down Republican ideas for more of the same from Democrats

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:16:16 GMT

On Nov. 7, Colorado voters overwhelmingly rejected Gov. Jared Polis and the Colorado Democrats’ answer to the overwhelmingly oppressive effects of rising taxation on their property.A week later, after public calls from Republicans and others, Polis convened a special session. In four long days, the Democrats unanimously shoved through policies that showed a clear disdain for the will of the people of Colorado. Our hope was an honest collaboration with the citizens and the other side of the aisle to bring real relief to those suffering from this overreach into the pockets of working families in this state.During the 2023 regular legislative session, Republicans presented solutions to the imminent skyrocketing jump in property taxes as a result of the 2020 repeal of the Gallagher Amendment which kept property taxes suppressed. Governor Polis and legislator Democrats had no interest in having an honest debate and instead pushed through their agenda to steal some of your Taxpayer’...

Left to Die Breathes Life into Death

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:16:16 GMT

Left to Die Breathes Life into Death: Back in March, we reviewed a show at the Belasco featuring a band called Death to All. That band includes three former members of Floridian death metal pioneers Death in its ranks — drummer Gene Hoglan, bassist Steve DiGiorgio and guitarist Bobby Koelble. Death mainman Chuck Schuldiner died in 2001 of brain cancer at the way-too-young age of 34, and Death to All helps to keep his music alive by playing it in front of a lot of people, very well.As it happens though, they’re not the only Death tribute featuring former members. This Saturday at the Echo, Left to Die played an immense set that included every track from 1988’s bonafide classic Leprosy album, as well a few from the also immense Scream Bloody Gore debut. The band features Death men Rick Rozz (guitar) and Terry Butler (bass, now of Obituary), both of whom are credited on Leprosy, although according to Wiki, Butler didn’t actually play on the album. No matter, the...
