Without Greg Dulcich, Broncos TE group must find ways besides catching passes to continue making an impact

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:24:48 GMT

Sean Payton had big plans for second-year tight end Greg Dulcich this fall.The Broncos head coach talked in the offseason about the “vision” to use Dulcich, a 2022 third-round pick, as a versatile offensive weapon. One capable of stretching opposing defenses vertically and making big plays in the passing game.Dulcich, particularly after Denver waived Albert Okwuegbunam at the roster cutdown deadline in August, had a different skill set than Denver’s other tight ends.It’s showed over the course of missing most of the season due to recurring hamstring injuries.Dulcich caught two passes in the season opener against Las Vegas before hurting his hamstring, missed four games and then returned to play 11 snaps against Kansas City last week before reinjuring the muscle.The route he came up limping on, a deep over, is exactly the kind of production Denver simply doesn’t get from the trio of Adam Trautman, Chris Manhertz and Nate Adkins.“Obviously, Greg brings an aspect of speed and stretchin...

San Bernardino City Council meeting derailed by racist slurs from caller

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:24:48 GMT

Shock and confusion unfolded during San Bernardino's City Council meeting Wednesday night when a woman addressing the council was subjected to racist slurs by a remote caller.It appeared to be a typical meeting, with people voicing their opinions on an agenda item. Several individuals, including Amy Malone, expressed their disapproval of the city's new manager, Charles Montoya, being voted in following allegations of misconduct in his previous positions."I have nothing against this man; I wish he'd get a second chance somewhere else," Malone said. "Obviously, when you look at his track record, you would not hire him for your own personal business."However, the situation quickly took a turn when Malone was interrupted by what seemed to be at least two men hurling racist insults on a Zoom microphone."Somebody shut this **** up. Go home, you… b***. Go back to Africa if you don't like it," the voices could be heard saying."It took me aback; I was angry, I was scared. I didn't know if I ...

Orange County school board rejects transgender notification proposal

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:24:48 GMT

The Capistrano Unified School District, Orange County's largest, has rejected a parental notification policy that critics say could have led to students being "outed" as transgender to their families.Unlike those enacted by Orange, Chino Valley, Murrieta Valley, Temecula Valley, Placentia Yorba-Linda and other districts, Capistrano's proposal did not specifically mention gender identity.Instead, it would have required schools to notify families if a student was "exhibiting symptoms of depression, anxiety, a dramatic shift in academic performance, social withdrawal or other significant changes affecting a student’s well-being."When pressed on the issue during Wednesday night’s school board meeting, Trustee Lisa Davis, who proposed the policy, acknowledged that it could be applied to gender identity, the Orange County Register reported. Chino Valley school board enacts transgender notification policy “I ask for your vote to make it clear to parents and guardians that we see them as ...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:24:48 GMT

By Andy Rose | CNNThe city of San Marcos, Texas, settled a lawsuit this week filed by four supporters of Joe Biden who said local police failed to protect them from harassment in 2020 as they rode in a Biden campaign bus.“The intimidation we experienced on the highway that day and the threat to our safety, simply for engaging in the political process and supporting the candidate of our choosing, should never happen in this country,” said former Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis, one of the plaintiffs.Video footage that Davis provided to CNN showed vehicles with Trump flags surrounding their bus, cutting in front of it and abruptly braking as the vehicle was traveling from San Antonio to Austin on Interstate 35. There have been no criminal charges in the incident. Davis and co-plaintiffs Eric Cervini, David Gins and Timothy Holloway alleged that police failed to live up to their responsibilities under a federal law called the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.Under the settlement, whose terms were...

Oakland man allegedly made $20 fentanyl deal in San Francisco. The next day he had a tracking device on his car

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:24:48 GMT

OAKLAND — On Aug. 1, an undercover cop allegedly purchased 1.8 grams of fentanyl from 25-year-old Marcos Carcamo in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood.The very next day, police obtained a search warrant and stuck it to Carcamo’s Chevrolet Cruze. What the data showed, according to prosecutors, were the movements of a fentanyl dealer who was later busted with six pound of various drugs and more than $58,000 in cash.Carcamo, an Oakland resident, is now in Santa Rita Jail facing federal drug distribution charges. He was arrested Oct. 10 and remains in custody while the charges are pending.The case against him might have started with a small-scale drug deal, but the GPS data showed Carcamo was making trips to the Tenderloin from Oakland “almost every evening,” a federal investigator said in court papers. He later reportedly told authorities he had been selling drugs there for eight months and made $1,000 per week, according to the criminal complaint.Car...

By Chris Megerian and Mary Clare Jalonick | Associated PressWASHINGTON — The White House on Friday released a sweeping set of proposals to bolster Israel and Ukraine in the midst of two wars as well as invest more in domestic defense manufacturing, humanitarian assistance and managing the influx of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.The total cost of the supplemental funding request was pegged at just over $105 billion. President Joe Biden hopes Congress will move urgently on the legislation, and he made the case for deepening U.S. support for its allies during a rare Oval Office address on Thursday night.The Democratic president’s plan faces some immediate complications on Capitol Hill, even as most lawmakers say they want to help both countries. The House is at a standstill, unable to pass legislation, as the Republican majority struggles to choose a new speaker. The money could also get bogged down in a divided Senate where Republicans have increasingly opposed Ukraine aid ...
