Sean Payton, Broncos glad to have RT Mike McGlinchey back in action: “We’re better when he’s out there”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:07:19 GMT

Mike McGlinchey missed two weeks with a knee sprain, but he’s wasted little time jumping back into action.The Denver right tackle returned to practice Tuesday and then got extensive work Wednesday in a joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams.“I’m anxious to look at the tape,” head coach Sean Payton said afterward. “It’s good to get him back out there. You feel his presence from a leadership perspective. Just being field level, it’s not like I had a chance to look just at him. Typically speaking, sometimes if you don’t notice a tackle, that’s pretty good.“But I know we’re better when he’s out there, and you felt his presence just in the team drills.”Safety Justin Simmons (groin), meanwhile, warmed up and did individual work but wasn’t involved in any of the team drills Wednesday.Broncos who didn’t participate due to injury: safety P.J. Locke (foot/ankle), nickel K’Waun Williams (ankle), cornerback Riley Moss (core) and defensive lineman D.J. Jones.Broncos add defensive tackle....

Another Denver homeless encampment is scheduled for a sweep, this one because it was the site of a shooting

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:07:19 GMT

Josef Steele has a bullet wound in his back, an injury he suffered while shielding his sister from gunfire on Monday inside the tent they shared in the homeless encampment near the corner of East 18th Avenue and Logan Street east of downtown Denver.“My training saved me and my sister,” said Steele, 28, an Army veteran who has been unhoused on the streets of Denver for the last two years. “It hit me in the back and it felt like a whole lot of force in a really small area. It’s so hard to describe what it feels like. I was more upset that they were shooting at my sister than that I got shot.”Steele only spent a few hours in a hospital for what ended up being only superficial injuries, he said. On Wednesday morning, he was already packing up his belongings while eating a bowl of cereal served to him in a 7-Eleven Big Gulp cup by a fellow camp resident.In response to the shooting and other problems, including reports of people menacing others with firearms and dr...

Home prices in California just reached an important mark

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:07:19 GMT

For the first time in 2023, single-family home prices in California have surpassed those from a year ago.The median price of a home statewide was $832,340 in July, slightly above last July’s median of $830,870, according to the most recent data from the California Association of Realtors.While not a significant increase, experts say it is still noteworthy because rising mortgage rates have put a damper on home sales and, likewise, on prices.“[Prices] were rising through most of this spring month-to-month. But this is the first time we've been above the summer 2022 levels,” Jordan Levine, CAR’s Chief Economist, told KTLA.Current mortgages average 6.79% for a 15-year fixed rate and 7.58% for a 30-year fixed rate, according to Bankrate - well above the historic lows of 2021.“The reality is that consumers don't qualify for as much as we did when rates were down at 3 percent, and that’s whittled the buyer pool a bit. But now, that initial shock has worn off,” says Levine. “Inventory is r...

SF Giants’ shortstops have been among worst in MLB. Can Paul DeJong provide the ‘stability’ they need?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:07:19 GMT

PHILADELPHIA — The Giants were involved in trade talks for Paul DeJong before he was dealt elsewhere at the trade deadline, and they were among the first teams DeJong heard from after he was released by the Blue Jays this week.It should come as no surprise.In a new reality for a club that hasn’t had to think about shortstop much over the past 13 years, they have gotten among the least production from the position of any team this season.So, with Brandon Crawford sidelined for a third time, DeJong arrived at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday and was immediately penciled into the starting lineup, just as Johan Camargo — who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move — was shortly after signing as a minor-league free agent.“We just need a little stability there,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “I think he has the capability and the talent to provide that.”As a position group, they rank last in MLB in OPS (.559), wRC+ (54, 44% below league average) and ...
