Broncos stock report: Kareem Jackson’s hit on Josh Dobbs in return to play certain to produce more scrutiny

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:31:29 GMT

Stock UpDL D.J. JonesThe big defensive tackle has been coming on during the Broncos’ winning streak after something of a slow start to the season. He made two plays against Buffalo out along the sideline. On Sunday night against Minnesota, he forced an Alexander Mattison fumble. In the closing moments, he rolled right over center Garrett Bradbury and hit quarterback Josh Dobbs, forcing an intentional grounding penalty.S Justin SimmonsThe turnovers are going to get all the attention, but Simmons made two fantastic plays on Minnesota’s last-ditch drive by knocking the ball away from tight end T.J. Hockenson. Hockenson’s a big, strong player, but Simmons wouldn’t be denied. Ever since he returned from injury in Week 5, Simmons has been terrific. And he even got an offensive snap as the deep back in victory formation to close out a win on his 30th birthday. Pretty good Sunday.RB Samaje PerineThe veteran running back is seeing his playing time tick up thanks to his knack for making plays...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:31:29 GMT

While cockroaches are good for the ecosystem, they can be a nuisance and hard to avoid in some of America's largest cities. Pest Gnome, a company that specializes in connecting people to pest exterminators in their area, ranked the most roach-infested cities in the country. Perhaps unsurprisingly, several highly-populated metros made the list -- which was determined using data from the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Los Angeles the 2nd ‘rattiest’ city in the U.S., according to Orkin Houston topped the ranking, with 37% of homes showing signs of these critters in the past 12 months, according to the study. H-Town is known for its heat and humidity, and Pest Gnome said roaches thrive in these conditions.Another Texas city came in at No. 2 on the list: San Antonio. The study found that about 28% of homes in the Alamo City showed signs of roaches in the past 12 months. Tampa, Phoenix, and Las Vegas rounded out the...

Mumford & Sons at the Bellwether

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:31:29 GMT

Mumford & Sons at the Bellwether: British folk rockers Mumford & Sons apparently debuted a new song, “Maria,” at Austin City Limits last month. It’ll be very cool to hear that at the relatively intimate surroundings of the Bellwether, although the fane will likely be clamoring for the hits from their three albums. That said, Delta is five years old and hopefully “Maria” is a sign that a new album is coming soon. It’s about time. Mumford & Sons at the Bellwether: The event takes place at 8 p.m. on Monday, November 20 at the Bellwether.Photo licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license.                                                              ...
