Denver’s rushing attack has been effective, the defense has been solid and Russell Wilson has been one of the more efficient quarterbacks in the league.Still, head coach Sean Payton doesn’t believe the team has found its sweet spot on offense.“There are so many things we have to clean up and get better at,” Payton said. “We coach it. It’s the details. There’s so much that goes into it. It starts with building it around what you have and who we have.”For Payton, discovering a sweet spot is like finding Shangri-La, meaning it doesn’t exist.

Ethics chair launches new bid to expel Rep. Santos

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:32:14 GMT

By Kevin Freking | Associated PressWASHINGTON — The chairman of the House Ethics Committee announced Friday he has filed a resolution to force a vote on expelling Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., from Congress, one day after the committee issued a withering report detailing substantial evidence that Santos converted campaign donations for his own personal use.Santos easily survived an expulsion vote earlier this month as lawmakers in both parties stressed the need to allow due process, as Santos is also facing nearly two dozen charges in federal court. But the release of the committee’s findings has generated new momentum for ousting the scandal-plagued freshman. Shortly after the report was released, Santos announced he would not seek reelection.“The evidence uncovered in the Ethics Committee’s Investigative Subcommittee investigation is more than sufficient to warrant punishment and the most appropriate punishment, is expulsion,” said Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss....

Those home dates included some buzz-worthy matchups: the final Pac-12 games against AP Top 10 teams Oregon and Washington and Heisman candidates Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr.; the last scheduled visit from in-state rival UCLA as well as the opening game of the Troy Taylor era.But the 126th Big Game — the final meeting before both teams move to the Atlantic Coast Conference next season — will receive a worthy sendoff. ...
