So again, cheese heads and Thanksgiving turkey aren't all that rare of a combo.What is rare, though, is Green Bay playing a home game on Thanksgiving. It's only happened twice in 100 years of...

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter recently discussed how Anthony Richardson needs to be available for more than a handful of games after the quarterback endured multiple physical setbacks as a rookie. Colts head coach Shane Steichen addressed the topic during a chat with NFL insider Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated."It’s just being smart on when to get down," Steichen said about Richardson. "There’s a happy medium. There’s a time and a place, where it’s fourth down and you gotta have it and the game’s on the line, where you gotta go get it. But if it’s first-and-10—we had this...

The Denver City Council learned more Wednesday about the workforce development component of the Denver Asylum Seekers Program. The city has transitioned the way it helps migrants, closing shelters and instead placing 800 people in the asylum program. That includes people who had been staying in non-congregate hotel shelters, all but one of which have closed. New migrant arrivals will not be eligible for the six-month work program until some graduate, according to a presentation by city staff. The city intends to keep 500 people in the work program at a time, according to Tony Anderson, workforce development manager for the city.

Myron Charles is a big part of Florida State's plans for the 2025 recruiting trail. That's both literal and figurative, considering the fact that Charles checks in at 6-foot-4 and 295 pounds as just a rising senior in high school.Not only is he a big-time defensive line recruit, but since he hails from Port Charlotte, Florida, Charles is also an in-state recruit. For head coach Mike Norvell, these are the types of recruits FSU needs to land in order to stay a championship contender.The good news, for Florida State at least, is that heading into several scheduled official visits, the...

If you're from the Ozarks region of Missouri, you might have heard people talk about the old type of medicinal cure known as the madstone.
