Broncos position preview: Denver’s biggest offseason move at quarterback wasn’t a quarterback at all

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:36:06 GMT

Editor’s note: First in a series previewing the Broncos’ position groups entering training camp. Today, quarterbacks.On the roster (four): Russell Wilson, Jarrett Stidham, Ben DiNucci, Jarrett Guarantano.How many on the 53? Likely two, maybe three.Most impactful offseason move: Hiring Sean Payton as the head coach.Payton takes pride in the culture he builds, the way he details work, the way he manages games. He’s confident across the board. But there’s no doubt his hiring also has an impact on the quarterback room. Wilson glowed about Payton before he ever interviewed for the job. Payton has the gravitas to demand a lot out of Wilson and also to make the call on how much leash to give the nine-time Pro Bowler if he doesn’t improve from a career-worst 2022.If all goes to plan, that won’t be an issue. That’s kind of the point of making this hire.Biggest question to answer in camp: Two or three?In reality, the only question that fully matters is whether Wilson bounces...

Innovative backcountry ski area near Kremmling will close 

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:36:06 GMT

Bluebird Backcountry, an innovative ski area without lifts that was designed to expose beginners to backcountry skiing and educate them on how to enjoy it safely, is closing permanently after three seasons for financial reasons.Located 30 miles north of Kremmling at Bear Mountain near the east side of Rabbit Ear’s Pass, Bluebird had ideal terrain for teaching introductory backcountry skills, but it was 125 miles from Denver. It was situated on 1,200 acres of land leased from a private landowner.“The business hasn’t been profitable,” said Jeff Woodward, co-founder and CEO. “We’ve been able to fundraise for it historically, but we haven’t been able to raise money for it this year to keep going. The first challenge was that Bear Mountain is far from the Front Range, and a little over 60% of our guests come from the Front Range. It’s a very long drive for them.“When we talk to our customers, they absolutely love it. The thing that pr...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:36:06 GMT

(The Hill) - Nearly 30 percent of American households comprise a single person, a record high. Scholars say living alone is not a trend so much as a transformation: Across much of the world, large numbers of people are living alone for the first time in recorded history. “It’s just a stunning social change,” said Eric Klinenberg, a sociologist at New York University and author of the book "Going Solo." “I came to see it as the biggest demographic change in the last century that we failed to recognize and take seriously.” (Getty Images)Homo sapiens is a social animal. Historians tapped ancient census rolls to show that our species has lived in groups for as long as such records have existed, stretching back at least to 1600.  The U.S. Census shows that "solitaries" made up 8 percent of all households in 1940. The share of solo households doubled to 18 percent in 1970 and more than tripled, to an estimated 29 percent, by 2022. The solo-living movement intersec...
