Kiszla: Have 0-3 Broncos hit rock bottom? Frank Clark says: “This is going to be a season of grit. We’re going to have to take some (bleep).”

How low can the Broncos go? I fear there is no bottom, because this team has no foundation of strong leadership to stand on.The worst part of surrendering 70 points was how the Broncos quit on themselves. At 0-3, the players in Denver’s locker room are no longer playoff contenders, but a punch line. And make no mistake, they hear the abuse that results from giving up 10 touchdowns in a single game.“That noise is real loud. You’re going to hear it. But it’s about what you retain,” Broncos edge-rusher Frank Clark told me Thursday.“If you hear the noise, they’re telling you: ‘Oh, man, you suck. You’re (crappy) at your job. Broncos this, Broncos that.’ If we really listened to all that, would we really call them fans?”Clark, sidelined by a hip abductor muscle injury, had to stand by with the rest of us and watch as Denver get clowned by the Dolphins in a 70-20 loss.It seems highly unlikely Clark will be able to return to the field Sunday in Chicago to bolster a pass rush that has produc...

L.A. Co. inspectors checking for price gouging at gas stations

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:34 GMT

Gas prices in Southern California continue to climb and now Los Angeles County inspectors are checking to make sure that customers are paying for what they’re getting at the pump. Gas prices jumped 12 cents overnight and the average price in L.A. County as of Thursday is $6.28. This is the 22nd time in 24 days that the average price for a gallon of gas has risen. Compared to the national average of $3.83 for a gallon of gas, California is paving the way for some of the highest rates to date. Many residents are discouraged and frustrated by the fluctuating gas prices. “Because of the gas prices, I’m actually not going to do my next 2 stops and I’d rather do calls,” said Long Beach resident Emma Haines, who works in sales and drives all over L.A. County. Haines says she fills up her tank every day with $20 hoping that the high prices eventually drop. Today she decided to shorten her route due to the high gas prices. Another Long Beach resident Jeffrey Hardin says d...

By Michael R. Sisak | Associated PressNEW YORK — An appeals court Thursday rejected Donald Trump’s bid to delay a civil trial in a lawsuit brought by New York’s attorney general, allowing the case to proceed days after a judge ruled the former president committed years of fraud and stripped him of some companies as punishment.The decision, by the state’s intermediate appellate court, clears the way for Judge Arthur Engoron to preside over a non-jury trial starting Monday in Manhattan in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ civil lawsuit.Trump is listed among dozens of possible witnesses, setting up a potential courtroom showdown with the judge. The fraud ruling Tuesday threatens to upend his real estate empire and force him to give up prized New York properties such as Trump Tower, a Wall Street office building, golf courses and a suburban estate.Trump has denied wrongdoing, arguing that some of his assets are worth far more than what’s listed on an...

49ers’ McCaffrey ‘honored’ by chance to join exclusive club with scoring streak

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:34 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Scoring in 12 consecutive games has not quenched Christian McCaffrey’s thirst for touchdowns.“Obviously you want to score every time you touch the ball,” McCaffrey said Thursday, three days before his next chance to do so for the undefeated 49ers (3-0).McCaffrey’s scoring spree is reaching historic levels. Jerry Rice scored in all 12 games (with 22 touchdown catches) during the strike-shortened 1987 season, and McCaffrey can surpass that stretch Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals (1-2).McCaffrey called it “a huge honor” to join Rice in that company. The Dallas Cowboys’ Emmitt Smith scored 13 games in a row in 1995, and the Houston Texans’ Arian Foster did the same in 2011-12. McCaffrey has scored a rushing touchdown in each of the 49ers’ wins this season, and his 12-game streak dates back to last December and the playoffs.It’s not just his scoring that amazes his teammates.
