Ex-utep Player Chris Craig Arrested After Bomb Threat

If you looked at the 19 former Broncos nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame this week and wondered if any will reach Canton, the answer is no. This is written with no joy or satisfaction, but even the cases of receiver Demaryius Thomas (positional logjam), cornerback Aqib Talib (needed multiple All-Pro berths) and Tom Nalen (center is a forgotten position) face long odds. So it raises an interesting question: Who will be the Broncos’ next Hall of Famer?

LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani set a major league record by homering and stealing a base for the 14th time in the same game and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the last-place Colorado Rockies 6-4 on Friday night. The win reduced the NL West-leading Dodgers’ magic number to four to clinch the division.

BROOMFIELD — Broomfield football waited five long years to face off with cross-town rival Legacy again, and on Friday night at Elizabeth Kennedy Stadium, their anticipated matchup didn’t disappoint. Generally offensive gladiators, Class 4A’s top-ranked Eagles struggled to get much of anything going against Legacy, instead relying on its defense to squeak out a 14-13 victory. Two years after its Class 4A state championship berth, Broomfield looks just as lethal.

Last week reminded us that the Broncos are in deep trouble this season. Once again, interceptions were thrown, penalties called, runs stuffed and hands wrung. The blaring alarm comes from offensive statistics that look bad, are bad, and seem impossible to comprehend for a team not wearing leather helmets and playing on black-and-white TVs with rabbit ears. No one disputes the premise that the Broncos offense stinks.

After the Broncos’ road matchup against Tampa Bay, a trip to West Virginia awaits. Denver will practice at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, ahead of traveling to New Jersey for its Week 4 matchup against the New York Jets. The team’s getaway in West Virginia is a call back to head coach Sean Payton’s days in New Orleans. Payton took the Saints to Greenbrier to practice for three straight seasons, starting in 2014.

For one game and 12 snaps, Baron Browning put together a powerful start to his 2024 season. Then the fourth-year outside linebacker dropped out of Denver’s 13-6 loss to Pittsburgh with a foot injury. Head coach Sean Payton on Friday ruled Browning out for the Broncos’ Week 3 trip to Tampa Bay.
