Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:23:58 GMT

Forty minutes into Thursday’s OTA practice, Denver hadn’t shifted out of walk-through mode.Instead, coach Sean Payton and the Broncos spent a good, long while talking through rarely encountered situations.“There’s a board where there’s 43 things that are unique end-of-game, end-of-half, sometimes middle-of-the-game situations that may come up once every four weeks. Maybe once every two years,” Payton explained afterward. “We begin teaching those and not just to those involved. In a perfect world, the whole bench is going to know what to expect at the end of game in certain situations, so we spent all of the walkthrough on about eight different situations.“Training camp, each day we’ll take two. We’ll review. They have to know those cold and they have to know what we’re thinking so that, when they come up, they can execute.”Several veteran players said they appreciated the work at this stage in the offseason.“I’ve had a lot of coaches here over the past years and Coach Payton is a gu...

Jean Carroll, concluding instead that she had been sexually abused in spring 1996 in the store’s dressing room.“Such abuse could have included groping of Plaintiff’s breasts through clothing, or similar conduct, which is a far cry from rape,” the lawyers wrote.They said the $2 million granted by the jury on a sexual abuse claim was “grossly excessive” and another $2.7 million issued for compensatory defamation damages was &...
