SPAC was previously evacuated on July 8 due to a false bomb threat. New York Park Police Lieutenant Frank McGarity says his agency is prepared should a similar situation occur.

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 14:18:59 GMT
Broncos tight end Adam Trautman developed a name for himself during training camp.It started when he was listed ahead of Greg Dulcich on the depth chart. Then he made everyone’s jaws drop when he made a one-handed touchdown catch in double coverage last week at practice.In Denver’s offense, coordinator Joe Lombardi views Trautman as a “quarterback-friendly” tight end. He might not have the speed of Dulcich or Albert Okwuegbunam, but the quarterback knows exactly what to expect from him.Russell Wilson seemed to agree.“(Trautman) is a true pro,” the 34-year-old quarterback said. “He’s consistent every day. He has tremendous hands (and) can do it all.”Trautman was a draft day acquisition, picked up by Denver for a sixth-round pick during the NFL draft in April. At the time, head coach Sean Payton called the move “just as exciting” as drafting a player since he had a clear vision for Trautman’s role on offense.As the regular season draws near, the vision for Trautman has bee...Larimer County reports Colorado’s third West Nile virus death in 2023

A second death from it was reported on Monday in La Plata County.Colorado health officials are reporting higher-than-normal numbers of West Nile virus cases in 2023.

Increased human cases follow reports of high infection levels in the Culex mosquitoes.Larimer County health officials said their 29 confirmed cases are outpacing cases from previous years.

The Pac-12 appears to be a true football power this season with five ranked teams, topped by No. 6 Southern California.The conference also has perhaps the nation’s best collection of quarterbacks, headlined by the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.It may turn out to be a climactic final act.With eight teams headed out the door next year, the lights could go out for good on Pac-12 After Dark following the 2023 season.“From what I know, it probably didn’t need to come to this, but things happened along the way and really unfortunate,” California coach Justin Wilcox said. “So it’s frustrating, there’s some anger in there, but right now, what we’re focused on is this season.”The Pac-12 was already going to look different next season with USC and UCLA heading to the Big Ten.Last month, Colorado shook things up even more by bolting to the Big 12. A week after that, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah joined the Buffaloes. Soon after, Oregon and Washington announced they were headed to the ...Sean Lewis sticking to (his) script as CU Buffs zero in on No. 17 TCU

Colorado fans have plenty to look forward to with the Buffaloes’ new-look offense.Shedeur Sanders offers a chance for the Buffs to enjoy a level of quarterback proficiency that has been rare in Boulder for the better part of two decades. When he’s not playing cornerback, Travis Hunter expects to lead what could be a dynamic set of receivers. Same with the backfield, which is loaded with depth and versatility.What folks won’t see when the Buffs kick off against No. 17 TCU on Sept. 2 (10 a.m. MT, Fox) is a scripted opening sequence from new offensive coordinator Sean Lewis.With kickoff fast approaching and preseason camp winding down, Lewis met with the media following Tuesday’s practice to offer an update on his side of the ball. Asked if he is the sort of play-caller who enjoys going into a fray with a scripted game plan, Lewis gave a firm negative.“I’m more of a feel guy,” Lewis said. “I’ve not been into scripting. I’ve done that one time in the past 12 years and it didn’t work out...Cloconut: The Transformation of Colorado Sweetheart to Spicy Internet Sensation
