Denver Post Broncos writer Parker Gabriel posts his Broncos Mailbag periodically during the offseason. Click here to submit a question.Wouldn’t it be wise of the new Broncos organization to temper their position on not providing typical team information that the paying public expects to hear and read in following their team and avoid the developing apathy in a competitive sports market? After all, there are new players and a burgeoning new roster that the fans want to know about and we don’t even have their jersey numbers or recent photos and it’s becoming too easy to not even care about what’s happening. Come on Sean, loosen up some of the information!— A referee, GreeleyHey Ref! Yeah, it’s been pretty quiet over in Dove Valley, hasn’t it? We’ll hear from some decision-makers soon in the form of a pre-draft news conference, but there’s been no coaches or players made available since the start of the offseason program and none of Denver’s new free agent...

SACRAMENTO — The Warriors find themselves in unfamiliar territory.Golden State has trailed a playoff series before but never has the team fallen 2-0 in any of its 27 series with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson leading the charge.However, that’s the reality the Warriors are facing as the first-round series heads to San Francisco later this week for Games 3 and 4.“It’s exciting, right?” Green said Monday night as a menacing smile appeared on his face. “A new challenge.”Green was ejected in the fourth quarter of Monday’s 114-106 loss to the Sacramento Kings after getting entangled with Kings big man Damontas Sabonis. His premature exit gave him plenty of time to ponder the rarity of his team’s situation.“I was actually thinking about that, like, ‘Man, this is one we haven’t seen yet,'” Green said. “And we’ve conquered all the rest of them, so why not go conquer this one?

Wilkinson: The gun debate isn’t hopeless. Just look at Tennessee

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:47:03 GMT

“We’re not going to fix it.” That instantly infamous line, delivered by a Republican congressman in the wake of a mass shooting at a private school in Nashville last month, was supposed to be the lesson learned by anyone hoping for a robust response to another mass murder.Dispensing with thoughts, prayers and other feints in the direction of social or political responsibility, Rep. Tim Burchett spoke truth to powerlessness, and did so unambiguously: It’s unfortunate that so many of you will die, but we won’t take any of the actions that we know could help you live.Yet that ugly lesson went decisively unlearned. Instead, young activists marched to the Tennessee Capitol demanding laws that value human life more than the convenience of firearm consumers.In response, Republican leaders in the state Legislature decided enough was enough; they would deliver a lesson that the kids wouldn’t soon forget. They expelled two Black lawmakers who had joined the protests and re-established the Leg...
