Sean Payton gave Courtland Sutton the Michael Thomas role in Broncos’ new offense. Can he approach the former All-Pro’s production?

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:58:27 GMT

The throw was beautiful, but the catch was just as glamorous.During an intense round of 11-on-11 at Broncos training camp, quarterback Russell Wilson glanced down the sideline to see wide receiver Courtland Sutton attempting to create separation from cornerback Pat Surtain II on a go-route. When Sutton beat out his All-Pro teammate by an inch, Wilson threw a pretty spiral to the sixth-year veteran, who corralled the ball with two hands.At that moment, the 2019 version of Sutton, who recorded 1,112 receiving yards and went to the Pro Bowl, had reemerged.Sutton spent the offseason working on his body to return to the player he was four seasons ago. He also studied New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas, because that’s the vision Broncos head coach Sean Payton has for him.With Tim Patrick (torn left Achilles) out for the season once again, it’s now more important than ever that he fills that role.“The ultimate goal is to be the best wide receiver that I can be,” Sutton said. “...

CLASS 5ANo. 5 Pine Creek (1-0) vs. No. 7 Valor Christian (0-1)When/where: 7 p.m. Friday at D20 StadiumLast meeting: Valor Christian 24, vs. Pine Creek 7, Sept. 2, 2022Creek and Valor meet for the fourth time since 2018, with the latter winning each of the first three meetings. Could this be Creek’s best shot at getting the elusive “W”? Week 1 certainly offered few clues. While Valor lost a nail-biter at Regis Jesuit that saw Eagles QB Asher Weiner compile 264 yards on 20-of-34 passing with one TD and one interception, Creek sat idle after its Week 1 opponent was forced to forfeit. Will that translate into early-game rust for Creek?No. 9 Arapahoe (1-0) vs. 4A No. 9 Heritage (0-1)When/where: 7 p.m. Friday at LPS StadiumLast meeting: Arapahoe 24, at Heritage 14, Sept. 2, 2022It appears the Arapahoe defense is salty once again. At least, that’s what the Warriors’ 31-9 win over Legacy in Week 1 suggested — a game that saw Arapahoe shut out the Lightning thro...

Looming auto strike puts Biden's labor loyalty to the test

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:58:27 GMT

A potential strike at the big three automakers in mid-September is about to show whether the "summer of strikes" can carry its momentum into this autumn.United Auto Workers (UAW) are set to strike Sept. 14 if they don't reach a deal with Ford, GM and Stellantis, and their endorsement for Biden could prove to be a seal of authenticity on the administration's pro-labor self-styling.“We’re focused on winning the best possible contract for our members in 2023, and then we can talk 2024,” the union said in a statement provided to The Hill.5 big questions about the ‘summer of strikes’“We want to see a federal government that is actively supporting our fight for economic justice in this green transition. Unfortunately, the Biden Administration is pouring billions into these companies’ pockets with no strings attached. A green transition with trickle-down economics won’t work,” the group said, referring to an economic doctrine associated in the U.S. with the Reagan administration.The White ...

Douthat: The Trump trial date is a big mistake

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:58:27 GMT

I intended to write a normal horse-race column this week, about what we can glean from the polling that came out after the first Republican debate. The emphasis was going to be on the resilience of Ron DeSantis, the success of Nikki Haley, the modest perils for Donald Trump in not showing up for these affairs — and then the larger problem of how DeSantis or Haley or anyone else might unite the anti-Trump vote instead of just repeating the fragmentation of 2016.But is anything we could learn from one Republican debate more significant than the news that the most important legal case against Trump, his federal trial for alleged election-related crimes, will begin the day before Super Tuesday? Probably not. So let’s save DeSantis and Haley for another day and talk about the significance of a front-runner’s trial running through the heart of a primary campaign.From any theory of the law’s relationship to democratic deliberation, this seems like an extremely suboptimal convergence. If yo...
