Kiszla vs. Gabriel: Should Broncos trade Jerry Jeudy or Josey Jewell at the deadline?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:50:47 GMT

Kiz: While it’s unclear how a stunning 24-9 upset of Kansas City changes the Broncos’ strategy at the trade deadline, I am certain who won’t be going to the Super Bowl: Taylor Swift. With no wideouts to help Patrick Mahomes cook, the Chiefs look done like dinner. Coach Andy Reid should get on the horn to Denver and offer a first-round draft choice for Jerry Jeudy. OK, I know there’s no way the Broncos will trade him to an AFC West rival. But will Jeudy or linebacker Josey Jewell remain with the Broncos after the trade deadline passes?Gabriel: Terrific question, Kiz. Difficult to say at this point. I tend to think the Broncos are going to make at least a move if not a couple, still, before the Tuesday afternoon deadline. Those two would be near the top of the list, too, if you were ranking most likely candidates. But Denver clearly not just selling the dusty old cow farm. They’ve held the price high on several players and perhaps the win against Kansas City re...

California High-Speed Rail proposes modification to L.A.-to-Anaheim segment

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:50:47 GMT

The California High-Speed Rail Authority is making some changes to its planned segment from Los Angeles to Anaheim. On Monday, CAHSR announced it now plans to add a fourth rail line between the two Southern California cities, allowing for commuter rail systems and freight trains to each have their own dedicated sets of tracks, rather than have to share and coordinate through the busy metropolitan section. The changes are minor in concept, but are expected to have a meaningful impact once the commuter train service begins operation in the next decade or so.The original plan called for a freight facility to be built in the city of Colton, which would house trains that aren't currently in operation and to allow for storage, maintenance and cleaning. But that plan was abandoned following some local pushback from Colton city officials and residents."The Colton community rightly pointed out that they weren't going to receive any of the benefits from High-Speed Rail, they were just going t...

Let’s start with the CFP: What should Pac-12 fans expect from the selection committee’s initial rankings, which will be unveiled Tuesday at 4 p.m. on ESPN?Plenty of representation, that’s what.Washington and Oregon should have spots in the top 10, with the undefeated Huskies quite possibly among the first five and the Ducks close behind.Oregon has been far more impressive in recent weeks, but the committee will lean into Washington’s head-to-head victory.
