Broncos Mailbag: What kind of offense will Sean Payton run in Denver?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:00:58 GMT

Denver Post Broncos writer Parker Gabriel posts his Broncos Mailbag weekly during the season. Submit questions to Parker here.Hi Parker, I’m glad to see that the Broncos made a big splash in free agency by shoring up the offensive line. I feel like it’s been a long, long time coming. Maybe we’ll get to see Russell Wilson actually have some more time instead of instantly meeting pass rushers this year. Maybe we’ll actually see a competent offense. What do you think the front five will look like in Week 1?— Mark, ArvadaHey Mark, thanks, as always, for writing in.Indeed, the Broncos did make a big splash in free agency. They agreed to terms with both right tackle Mike McGlinchey (five years, up to $87.5 million) and guard Ben Powers (four years, up to $52 million) on Monday.Certainly the Broncos were inconsistent at times in 2022 protecting Wilson, but Denver’s league-leading 63 sacks taken were not all on the offensive line, either. McGlinchey and Powers ...

Europe slowly understands the importance of the Abraham Accords

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:00:58 GMT

The symposium organized last week by the European Coalition for Israel in the European Parliament was a first of its kind that brought together European stakeholders both from the European Commission and the European Parliament with some of the key states behind the Abraham Accords to discuss the next steps of the normalisation process. After the signing of the Abraham Accords, which normalized Israel’s relations with several Arab states in 2020, the European Union remained on the sidelines and was rather unenthusiastic to the new development in the Mideast, writes Yossi Lempkowicz.Trapped in an old narrative about the Mideast peace process and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the EU was reluctant to embrace the Abraham Accords which were viewed as an American initiative led by then President Donald Trump, his son-in-law Jared Kushner nd other senior officials in the administration.According to Dutch member of the European Parliament Bert-Jan Ruissen, who is Vice Chairman of the pa...

Opinion: $20,000 ‘baby boxes’ aren’t a solution to Roe’s repeal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:00:58 GMT

There was a time when U.S. parents who abandoned their children were a rarity and fit a narrow profile. Due to overwhelming cultural or social pressures, their unplanned pregnancy put them at significant risk, so they felt they had no choice but to hide the pregnancy, give birth alone and abandon the infant.Now, due to the rollback of Roe v. Wade amid limited access to contraception, the profile of at-risk parents is much broader. People facing these circumstances are no longer extreme outliers but are more likely to fit the profile of an average person of reproductive age from any state where abortion is now illegal or highly restricted.The legal landscape is shifting in alarming ways — which traumatizes birth parents and children alike through unwanted births, while feeding a profitable adoption system.Privately funded “baby boxes” — modern versions of medieval abandonment wheels — are being installed in so many locations that they are quietly shaping a national infrastructure.

Poland’s justice minister seen carrying pistol in his belt

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:00:58 GMT

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s divisive justice minister, Zbigniew Ziobro, has drawn surprised comments after a gust of wind revealed that he carries a gun tucked in his belt. Ziobro was laying a wreath at a ceremony in central Poland when the wind showed that he was carrying a Glock pistol. Critics on social media commented that the minister must not be confident in the protection he receives as a state figure, but supporters note that Ziobro, who is also prosecutor general, has received death threats.Ziobro says he has permission to carry a weapon and that he practices shooting at a range on weekends, as a sport. He said he had the gun on him because the alternative was to leave it in the car, which is not allowed, as he stopped at the ceremony on his way back to Warsaw at the start of the working week.Ziobro, 52, is head of a small party in the ruling right-wing coalition and has strong views, including support for the death penalty. He authored changes to the justice system that...
