TE Greg Dulcich, OLB Nik Bonitto won’t play for Broncos at Detroit, while S P.J. Locke is questionable

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:22:31 GMT

The Broncos head to Detroit this weekend to play one of the best young tight ends in football facing more questions at the position on their own team.It doesn’t come as a surprise that Denver ruled tight end Greg Dulcich out for the Saturday night game. Consider that he’s done two stretches on injured reserve for repeated injuries to his right hamstring and that the Broncos activated him on a short week earlier this year only to see him aggravate the hamstring injury 11 snaps into a Week 6 contest at Kansas City.What is surprising is that Dulcich is listed Thursday on the injury report as having both hamstring and foot issues.The second-year tight end was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, so it’s unclear when the foot issue popped up.“He looked great at practice today; he’s been running really well,” quarterback Russell Wilson said after Wednesday’s practice.Denver may have slow-played Dulcich’s return some even without the foot issue, but now he is certainly not returning...

Legendary synth-pop frontman perfectly sums up 80s music appeal

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:22:31 GMT

Every generation naturally feels as if the music of their youth was the best era of them all. As more time elapses, however, it becomes harder to deny the oversized influence and enduring appeal of the 1980s.From arena-packing hard rock acts like Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe and Journey, to new wave pioneers The Cure, Duran Duran and U2, cassette-hoarding kids of the 80s never need to revisit the music from their childhood - because it never went away.Many of the top acts from that era are still enjoying heavy rotation on the radio and still packing venues across the U.S. and around the globe. Case in point: Depeche Mode’s recent four-night residency in Los Angeles (two nights at the Kia Forum and two nights at Crypto.com Arena).Carved into the Mount Rushmore of 1980s hits is “The Safety Dance” from Canadian synth-pop band Men Without Hats. This complex analog jam and its quirky video took the world by storm, landing at No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Chart and even inspiring a “Weird Al” ...

By Raf Casert and Samuel Petrequin | Associated PressBRUSSELS — The European Union decided Thursday to open accession negotiations with Ukraine, a momentous moment and stunning reversal for a country at war that had struggled to find the backing for its membership aspirations and long faced obstinate opposition from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.European Council President Charles Michel, who was chairing a Brussels summit of the EU’s 27 leaders where the decision was made, called it “a clear signal of hope for their people and our continent.”Although the process between opening negotiations and Ukraine finally becoming a member could take many years, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the agreement as “a victory for Ukraine. A victory for all of Europe.”“History is made by those who don’t get tired of fighting for freedom,” Zelenskyy said.Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said it also was a black eye for Ru...
