What Jerry Jeudy’s hamstring injury means for Broncos’ early season plans, roster going forward

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 22:44:12 GMT

Just before the Broncos broke minicamp for summer break in mid-June, Tim Patrick thought about a potential reunion tour and couldn’t help but smile.“It would be amazing, honestly,” the Denver wide receiver said. “I think we’ve got two or three games together. It’s something that we all want. That’s the whole point of asking KJ (Hamler) to live with us, to make sure this season there’s no excuses.”The “we” Patrick referred to: Himself and fellow Broncos wide receivers Hamler, Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton. Patrick’s memory was spot on. The quartet all had been part of the organization since the 2020 draft, when the club used its first two picks on Jeudy and Hamler. They joined Sutton coming off a breakout 2019 season and Patrick working his way from undrafted free agent to special teams standout to reliable receiver.Since then, the Broncos have played 50 regular-season games. Those four receivers have never played a full one together. Half of Week 2 in 2020 before Sutton tore his ...

US sues SpaceX for alleged hiring discrimination against refugees and others

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 22:44:12 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday sued SpaceX, the rocket company founded and run by Elon Musk, for alleged hiring discrimination against refugees and people seeking or already granted asylum. The complaint, filed in an administrative court within the department, asserts that SpaceX wrongly claimed that federal export control laws barred it from hiring anyone but U.S. citizens and permanent residents. As a result, it discouraged refugees and asylum seekers and grantees from applying for jobs at the company, according to the complaint.Export controls typically aim to protect U.S. national security and to further national trade objectives. They bar the shipment of specific technologies, weapons, information and software to specific non-U.S. nations and also limit the sharing or release of such items and information to “U.S. persons.” But the Justice Department noted that the term includes not only U.S. citizens, but also permanent U.S. resi...

El Niño, climate change conspired to cook up Hilary's mess, scientists say

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 22:44:12 GMT

A natural El Nino, human-caused climate change, a stubborn heat dome over the nation’s midsection and other factors cooked up Tropical Storm Hilary’s record-breaking slosh into California and Nevada, scientists figure.Cooked up is the key phrase, since hot water and hot air were crucial in rapidly growing Hilary and then steering the storm on an unusual path that dumped 10 months of rain in a single weekend in normally bone-dry places. Nearly a foot of rain fell in parts of Southern California's mountains, while cities smashed summertime records.“It was a combination of sort of a perfect situation of everything coming together in a way that made the storm possible,” said University of Albany atmospheric scientist Kristen Corbosiero, an expert on Pacific hurricanes.
