Takeaways from Sean Payton and George Paton’s Broncos pre-draft news conference: “Hopefully we can keep the golf carts upright”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:18:50 GMT

Broncos coach Sean Payton and general manager George Paton took questions for 50 minutes ahead of next week’s NFL Draft on Thursday afternoon and covered plenty of ground from guards to golf carts.Here are five quick takeaways:Denver still adamant about keeping JeudyIf the Broncos plan to trade Jerry Jeudy on draft weekend, they’re continuing to obfuscate their intentions. In fact, Paton didn’t say outright that the team would exercise the receiver’s fifth-year option ahead of the May 2 deadline, but he certainly made it sound like Jeudy would be around after the draft to make that decision.“We’re really high on Jerry,” Paton said. “We don’t anticipate doing anything with Jerry. … We like Jerry. He’s going to be here.”Draft doesn’t have to go defense Denver spent a boatload of free agency dollars on offense to shore up its offensive line and add depth in the skill positions, but Paton and Payton said that ...

Denver airport needs better oversight to avoid overpaying for work on costly Great Hall Project, audit says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:18:50 GMT

Denver International Airport’s $2.1 billion terminal renovation project needs stronger management and oversight of its major contractor to ensure the airport isn’t overpaying for work, city auditors found in a long-awaited report released Thursday.The audit spurred push-back from airport project officials, who defended both their handling of the quick effort to reboot the troubled project in late 2019, after DIA terminated its prior project contracting team, and their oversight of the new contract arrangement. Since Hensel Phelps Construction took over the Great Hall Project three years ago, work has proceeded more smoothly — though with a vastly expanded budget and a timeline extended by several years, to 2028.But auditors questioned a lack of documentation supporting the selection of Hensel Phelps through a quick, streamlined bid process in which DIA limited the pool to companies that had done previous airport work. They also were critical of DIA’s oversigh...

Thursday may be 4/20 — cannabis' big day — but Compton city officials had a unique way to celebrate.The city joined with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to discuss the nine illegal dispensaries that have been shut down and send a warning to those that remain under the radar."This is a great example that other local cities can use a framework to shut down illegal operations in their own communities," said Capt. Terrance Bell. Part party, part call to action: A look at pot holiday 4/20 Not only are dispensaries banned in Compton, but some of the locations were selling more than just marijuana. At certain places, customers could find mushrooms, hard drugs and even weapons, officials said. "These businesses are attracting violence, murders, robberies, fights," said City Councilmember Andre Spicer.

U.S. House approves trans athlete ban for girls and women's teams

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:18:50 GMT

Transgender athletes whose biological sex assigned at birth was male would be barred from competing on girls or women’s sports teams at federally supported schools and colleges under legislation pushed through Thursday by House Republicans checking off another high-profile item on their social agenda. The bill approved by a 219-203 party-line vote is unlikely to advance further because the Democratic-led Senate will not support it and the White House said President Joe Biden would veto it. Supporters said the legislation, which would put violators at risk of losing taxpayer dollars, is necessary to ensure competitive fairness. They framed the vote as supporting female athletes disadvantaged by having to compete against those whose gender identity does not match their sex assigned at birth. Republicans seize on transgender rights ahead of 2024 Opponents criticized the bill as ostracizing an already vulnerable group merely for political gain. The House action comes as at least 20 o...
