Kiszla vs. Gabriel: Should the Broncos spend big on a running back in free agency?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:41:00 GMT

Kiz: At the risk of irking Jim Brown or Emmitt Smith, conventional wisdom now states the best way for an NFL team to get in trouble is to overspend on a running back. Yes, running backs are a dime a dozen. And break easily. But I wouldn’t bet on Javonte Williams recovering from his knee injury to be anywhere near 100% when the Broncos open the season, and Denver needs to take a large chunk of the offensive burden off quarterback Russell Wilson. So what should the Broncos do at running back in free agency?Gabriel: They’re going to have to do something, I think that much is safe to say. In fact, George Paton said it himself at the NFL Combine earlier this month. What that looks like, though, is indeed an interesting question. One natural fit is Latavius Murray, given that he was apparently texting Sean Payton about coming to Denver before Nathaniel Hackett was even fired. The free agent crop could have been absolutely loaded, but diluted predictably in the last week with Saquon ...

Death to All Breathe New Life into Old Favorites

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:41:00 GMT

Death to All Breathe New Life into Old Favorites: Floridian band Death is one of the pioneers of death metal. Active from 1983, their back catalog is essential listening for fans of the genre. Leprosy in particular is a bonafide classic of any genre.The band ceased to be when main man Chuck Schuldiner died in 2001 and, for a long time, that appeared to be that. Much like Motorhead and Lemmy, Death continuing full-on without Schuldiner was a non-starter. It just wouldn’t work; he wrote the songs, and he was there one mainstay while the lineup shifted over the years. So Death lay dormant.In recent years though though, three former band members have come together as Death to All, to pay tribute to their comrade. That’s drum icon Gene Hoglan (also of Dark Angel, Strapping Young Lad, Testament), bassist Steve DiGiorgio (Testament, Sadus, etc) and guitarist Bobby Koelble. The lineup is completed by vocalist and guitarist Max Phelps, of Cynic (among others).At the Belasco in Do...
