The Broncos paid Mike McGlinchey big money. Here’s why more and more NFL teams are doing the same for right tackles

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:54:26 GMT

Quick, name the last right tackle to start consecutive Week 1 games for the Broncos.Whatever the first name is that popped to mind, you’ve probably got to go back further than that.The answer: Orlando Franklin in 2012 and 2013.Yeah, it’s been a while. The franchise has had a different man on the right edge of its offensive line in each of the past 10 season openers.Denver hopes the streak ends at 11 with Mike McGlinchey, whom they signed to a five-year deal worth up to $87.5 million ($52.5 million guaranteed for injury) back in March.Even then, the fickle nature of continuity in the NFL popped its head up early in camp when McGlinchey suffered a knee sprain. Midway through camp, he appeared to be on track to play in the Broncos’ season opener against Las Vegas.The league’s changed over the course of that parade of right tackles. One of many: Right tackles are viewed as much more important — and a much worthier investment — now than even when Franklin started.The old way of thinking:...

City Auditor: Denver needs to fully fund fight against wage theft

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:54:26 GMT

On Labor Day, we honor the contributions and achievements of America’s and Denver’s workers — the people who produce our food, care for our loved ones when they are sick, teach our children, build and repair our city, and more. Without their labor, our society could not run.But without significant government support, these essential workers will face widespread exploitation and wage theft.In recognition of workers’ value, Denver and Colorado leaders have recently made new laws raising the minimum wage, expanding overtime protections, guaranteeing paid sick leave, and protecting workers against wage theft, which happens whenever an employer doesn’t pay somebody the money they earn.But without real enforcement, legal protections are hollow. Many people who have their rights violated cannot afford a lawyer, don’t know how to bring a lawsuit themselves, and fear retaliation. They need every dollar and cent they earned. That’s why my team and I work so hard to investigate and fight...

Letters: Life or death in Colorado’s animal shelters

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:54:26 GMT

No-kill vs. open-admission sheltersRe:  “We are here with compassion and care for the animals ‘no-kill’ shelters turn away Denver Animal Shelter,” Aug. 27 commentaryMelanie Sobel’s excuses for moving the Denver Animal Shelter away from no-kill are both disheartening and misleading. Yes, words matter. As such, she should do some research on the no-kill movement.Done well, with the proper infrastructure, no-kill absolutely works at open-admissions shelters. Instead, she erroneously equates open-admissions with killing healthy, adoptable animals, as if this is a kind alternative. The fact that she is offended by the use of the word “killer” when she (as the director) is actually deciding to kill these animals (the definition of a killer) is a red herring designed to move the conversation away from her failure.Killing does not imply malicious intent; that would be murder. Euthanasia, however, can only be used when an animal is suffering. By definition, you ...

Coco Gauff becomes 1st U.S. teen since Serena Williams to reach consecutive U.S. Open quarterfinals

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:54:26 GMT

Coco Gauff is the first American teen since Serena Williams more than two decades ago to reach the U.S. Open quarterfinals two years in a row, so the 19-year-old from Florida knows her way out of trouble on a tennis court.As the second set slipped away against Caroline Wozniacki in the fourth round Sunday at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Gauff needed a chance to think things through after handing over a break with a pair of double-faults and a stumble that left her doing the splits.So Gauff turned in the direction of the near-constant chatter coming from Brad Gilbert, one of her two coaches sitting in a front-row seat, and said, “Please stop.” A couple of minutes later, Gauff said, “Stop talking.”That was while Wozniacki was grabbing four consecutive games to go up a break in the third set. And then, just as the match seemed to be slipping away thanks in part to a slew of unforced errors, Gauff straightened out her strokes and pulled way. She collected the last six games for a...
