WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. — Being a fast learner is great. Being a fast corrector, Vance Joseph says, is even better.That’s what the Broncos have in cornerback Riley Moss.“That’s part of being a good pro,” the Broncos defensive coordinator said this week. “You have to correct quickly in this league, especially at corner, because every play can be a touchdown.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. — It was them, not him.The Broncos defense let Vance Joseph down exactly a year ago this week, failing to communicate, tackle or provide effort in an embarrassing 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins that had some calling for his head.Rather than point fingers at the players, Joseph looked in the mirror. This gets lost when explaining how the Broncos won five straight last season, and why they won last weekend.Given every reason to go volcanic, Joseph remained calmer than a lagoon. His unwavering belief created trust. A year later, Joseph’s defense is the reason…

Although Hurricane Helene is expected to make landfall far northwest of Tampa Bay near Florida’s Big Bend, the storm will have a very large wind field and bring hurricane-force winds and catastrophic storm surge to Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater and other locations along Florida’s Gulf coast. The entire coast of Florida is under at least a tropical storm warning, with areas closest to the possible landfall zone under a hurricane warning.

Developer East West Partners’ plans to redevelop the 13-acre west end of the Cherry Creek Shopping Center cleared their primary hurdle Monday evening.The Denver City Council voted unanimously, with two members absent, in favor of rezoning the property at the corner of 1st Avenue and University Boulevard, as well as to approve a development agreement that includes commitments on items such as the inclusion of income-restricted housing.While the individual buildings within the project will still need to receive various city approvals, Monday’s vote allows Denver-based East West to start work on a project that it first announced in November 2023.Seven…
