Kickin’ It with Kiz: Why Jarrett Stidham might be Broncos’ starting QB sooner rather than later

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:04:51 GMT

What concerns me after the Broncos’ 18-17 loss to Arizona in the preseason opener? The offensive line is the biggest concern, but special teams somehow still look dreadful. Defense looks pretty good, I guess. Overall it, seemed more than a little too familiar and not in a good way.Matt, Big Sky CountryKiz: Well, the Broncos averaged 16.9 points per game last season. So maybe we should look at scoring 17 against the Cardinals as a sign of improvement. OK … maybe not. With the opening game of the regular season still a month away, I’m willing to be patient as the offense learns the tricks of new coach Sean Payton. But Wilson getting hit five times while dropping back to pass in four offensive series against the Arizona defense? Now that could foretell some serious trouble ahead. If the offensive line doesn’t get its act together, we’re going to see Jarrett Stidham start at quarterback way earlier than even the dreariest pessimist could anticipate, because...

Keeler: Deion Sanders banned the color red inside CU Buffs’ football facilities? Nebraska Week can’t get here soon enough.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:04:51 GMT

BOULDER — Deion Sanders re-wrote the CU Buffs rulebook with a blowtorch and a jackhammer. But there was one commandment, sacred and true, that he left untouched.“Coach Prime doesn’t like us wearing red in the facility,” freshman wideout Omarion Miller told me during the Buffs’ fall sports media day. “I didn’t know it was that bad. No red in the facility.”He’s ain’t just coming. Like those nasty AI bots, he’s learning.Coach Prime, football’s greatest showman, often leaves his best stuff on the cutting room floor. Until he needs it.The genius flies below radar. It sleeps in the margins. For all the slogans, YouTube feeds, cowboy hats and hype, a little Bill Belichick burns deep within Sanders — this streak of clever, cold and stubborn, grinding away in the darkness.No red? Oh, he gets it.He gets Sept. 9, too.Prime already knows how to grab your attention. He already knows how to grab your closet. But to grab your heart, and to keep it, he knows that it’ll come ...

Death toll rises to 80 in Maui wildfires

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:04:51 GMT

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — Deadly wildfires that swept with alarming speed and strength through the Hawaiian island of Maui reduced hundreds of homes to ash, sending emergency workers scrambling Saturday to find temporary housing for those lucky enough to survive a conflagration that has taken at least 80 lives. The astonishing scope of the devastation became clearer Saturday, but communications were still difficult, with 30 cell towers still offline. Power outages were expected to last several weeks on the western side of the island. Authorities, meanwhile, warned that the death toll could rise as search efforts continue. Those who escaped were counting their blessings, thankful to be alive as they mourned those who didn't make it. Retired fire captain Geoff Bogar and his friend of 35 years, Franklin Trejos, initially stayed behind to help others in Lahaina and save Bogar's house. But as the flames moved closer and closer Tuesday afternoon, they knew they had to get out. Each escaped t...
