Denver had a kicker in attendance for its second week of OTAs in newly signed Elliott Fry.Coach Sean Payton made it clear that Fry — and everybody else, for that matter — shouldn’t feel overly comfortable.“We had a kicking battle one year in New Orleans, two guys, and man, (the reporters) all charted it each day during training camp and it was either-or, either-or,” Payton recalled. “This went on and on and it was one of those battles where I don’t know if I was any clearer after four weeks than I was when it began. They both did good things and then had days that maybe weren’t as good.“The final cut-down takes place to 53 (players) and I get a call from someone I know well with another staff that thinks he’s got a kicker and we bring him in on Monday, work him out and we sign neither of the two in the kicking battle.”Bottom line: You’re competing for a roster spot with players on your own team and also the other 31 in the league.“Don’t pay attention to the line in front of yo...President Joe Biden falls on stage at Air Force Academy graduation in Colorado Springs

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:29:54 GMT
Link’s latest adventures in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom (TOTK) are everything we were waiting for. The game has proven a roaring international hit. One common phrase often seen across social media in the past two weeks since the launch is the idea that Breath of The Wild, Zelda’s previous foray on Nintendo’s Switch when the system launched, almost feels like a beta version of what we ended up with in TOTK. How wild is it to call a game that went on to sell 30 million copies since and win a ton of awards a beta test? But it honestly feels kind of accurate with how much TOTK built on the last version of Hyrule we visited six years ago. The Legacy of Zelda Enthusiasm There are few dates on the video game calendar that get circled with more enthusiasm than a new Zelda game. Since the first one dropped in 1987, its raving fan base has always wondered what would be next for the franchise that often served with Super Mario Brothers as a flagship game that showed off the capab...Photos: U.S. in serious talks to close Turkmenistan’s “Gates of Hell”

SAN MATEO COUNTY —The case of a Florida woman charged with involuntary manslaughter and practicing medicine without a license in the death of a South Bay model and Kardashian lookalike may hinge on what a still-pending coroner’s report says.Vivian Gomez, 50 of Royal Palm Beach, Fla., was arrested on April 21 at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport in Florida’s Broward County, police records show. She made bail this week and is out of custody, with a list of restrictions on her travel and behavior issued by the court.The arrest came the day after the death of San Jose-area resident Christina Ashten Gourkani at the age of 34. Gourkani met with Gomez at the Marriott hotel in Burlingame, where prosecutors say Gomez performed an “illegal gluteal silicone injection” on the popular social media personality.A self-professed “big fan” of Kardashian who spoke openly about a passion for plastic surgery, Gourkani had a significant social-media following, to whome sh...New wine bar Library Social Club set to open in Walnut Creek

Wine aficionados will have a fresh place to sip in a couple weeks with the arrival of the Library Social Club, a new wine bar that will offer libations and small bites in downtown Walnut Creek.The long-in-development wine bar, which is going into the former Guava Eats space at 1506 N. Main St., is run by JB Balingit and other folks at the Hideout Kitchen in Lafayette. Like the Hideout, which specializes in American comfort cuisine, the Library Social Club plans to serve up food in the form of small plates and charcuterie-style nibbles. But the main focus will be wine and beer, says Macy Delzell, director of operations at Balingit’s Morello Restaurant Solutions.“During COVID, we had to shut the doors to our guests at the Hideout, which was heartbreaking,” Delzell says. “They came up with a wine club as a service to guests, where they could pick up wines once a month. Once we reopened, we wanted to just focus on guests getting the best experience possible, and ...Best Betting Sites in India Ranked by Sports Promos for Indian Players, Odds, and More
