After promising but hamstrung rookie season, Broncos TE Greg Dulcich aiming for flexibility on the field and off
Published Thu, 31 Oct 2024 23:47:42 GMT
The key word for Greg Dulcich’s first full offseason as an NFL player: Flexibility.Sure, it’d be great if the tight end adds it to his game on the field in Year 2 for the Broncos by becoming a better blocker and continuing to develop his promising pass-catching skill set, but positional flexibility is secondary in importance at the moment.Dulcich quite literally spent the offseason trying to become more flexible in an effort to stave off the recurring hamstring issues that limited him during his rookie season.“That’s definitely been a huge part of my offseason since January, just making sure I can be more flexible to try to limit injuries and try to get into a better routine to make sure my body is all good,” he told reporters Thursday.Dulcich made an impression right away last year after arriving in Denver as a third-round draft pick out of UCLA, but he suffered a hamstring injury in OTAs. Not only did he miss minicamp, but he also missed training camp. Then he was placed on ...Coloradans challenging COVID vaccine mandates see tepid results from courts even as legal landscape shifts

Coloradans who brought legal challenges to employers’ COVID-19 vaccine mandates have received a tepid response in state courts even as the wider legal landscape starts to shift to become more friendly toward claims that the right to religious freedom should protect people against mandatory vaccination, The Denver Post found.Such constitutional challenges to vaccine mandates have long been dismissed by courts — the U.S. Supreme Court first upheld vaccine mandates in 1905 — but recent moves by the justices to strengthen religious freedom in other contexts have begun a shift away from that long-held precedent, legal experts told The Post.“If you had written the textbook on public health law three or four years ago, what it would have said about (these) challenges is — not very likely to succeed,” said Daniel Goldberg, associate professor at the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus. “…The textbooks are being rewritten as ...KTLA celebrates Founder's Day by beautifying trail to Hollywood Sign

SAN FRANCISCO — For years, a group of cargo agents allegedly worked together to steal massive amounts of marijuana from checked bags, in amounts so high some of the participants were reportedly paid $10,000 per week for the thefts.But in June 2021, the conspirators learned the hard way that word of their scheme had gotten around, when two of them were robbed at gunpoint for an undisclosed amount of marijuana at the San Francisco International Airport’s employee parking lot. Seventeen months later, they got another wakeup call; another co-conspirator was stopped in the airport’s parking garage while transporting 30 pounds of marijuana, but this time by the FBI, according to the criminal complaint.Now, the two men accused of leading the operating, Joel Lamont Dunn and Adrian Webb, are facing federal charges of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. According to the criminal complaint, Dunn, Webb and other cargo agents — all employed by United Airlines...Truck driver found guilty of killing 11 at Pittsburgh synagogue, faces death penalty

By Peter Smith | Associated PressPITTSBURGH — A truck driver who expressed hatred of Jews was convicted Friday of barging into a Pittsburgh synagogue and shooting everyone he could find, killing 11 congregants in an act of antisemitic terror for which he could be sentenced to die.The guilty verdict was a foregone conclusion after Robert Bowers’ own lawyers conceded at the trial’s outset that he attacked and killed worshippers at the Tree of Life synagogue on Oct. 27, 2018, in the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history. Jurors must now decide whether the 50-year-old should be sent to death row or sentenced to life in prison without parole as the federal trial shifts to a penalty phase expected to last several weeks.Bowers was convicted of all 63 criminal counts he faced, including hate crimes resulting in death and obstruction of the free exercise of religion resulting in death. His attorneys had offered a guilty plea in return for a life sentence, but prosecutors refused, opting i...Father’s Day reality check: Dads can give really odd advice

Today is all about gauzy tributes to the deep, soulful wisdom of our beloved fathers, about proclaiming our eternal gratitude for Dad’s profound guidance on how to live and grow and thrive.Except most of us didn’t have THAT father.“Eighty percent of people don’t care about your problems, and the other 20% are glad you have them,” the decidedly unsentimental father of art dealer and erstwhile Laguna Beach city councilman Peter Blake once observed, setting him up for years of internal reckoning.Peter Blake (File Photo by Mark Rightmire, Orange County Register/SCNG) “You can’t run with the big dogs if you piss like a puppy” was the tough-guy motto of the Sartor family of — where else? — New Jersey.

Grazing cattle on an island in the central Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta could soon make way for Contra Costa County’s first rice fields and a mosaic of restored wetlands now that its owner has received a $20.9 million state grant.The company plans to restore nearly 5,000 acres of Webb Tract, including 3,000 in wetlands, 1,500 in rice fields and the rest in other habitats, such as grasslands and scrub.The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy Board recently approved funding for the restoration work at Webb Tract, which the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California proposed on land it purchased along with three other islands – Bouldin, Bacon and Holland – for $175 million in 2016. At the time, the district said it could use them to store construction equipment, but critics warned that it would make it easier for the governor’s proposed — and later scrapped — California Water Fix project to send more water to Southern California, with twin tunnels to...Latest news
