Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 03:39:03 GMT

When the wheels of the NFL’s transfer portal stopped spinning this summer, a number of veteran standouts were wearing new colors.Most prominent among them was Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay icon turned malcontent who publicly negotiated his way to the New York Jets. And the quarterback is already in midseason form, preening for the cameras at the U.S. Open, cheering for his favorite unvaxxed tennis star, Novak Djokovic.But if Rodgers is going to return to his MVP form, it certainly won’t be Monday night against one of the NFL’s top defenses: the Buffalo Bills. You won’t find him in the top 12 of the Week 1 rankings anywhere. Nor should you.NEW YORK, NEW YORK – SEPTEMBER 03: Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets looks on during Day Seven of the 2023 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on September 03, 2023 in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City.

AP Top 25 Reality Check: Week 1 can be deceiving. Have Deion Sanders and Colorado already peaked?

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 03:39:03 GMT

The Week 1 result that seems really meaningful but turns out not to be is a time-honored tradition in college football.The gold standard of this category is the infamous “Texas is back” game in 2016 when the Longhorns beat Notre Dame in overtime.The victory pushed coach Charlie Strong’s team from unranked in the preseason to No. 11. There was a lot of excitement — and then Texas and Notre Dame went on to finish the season a combined 9-15.Whoops.No. 21 Duke and No. 22 Colorado rode big upsets in high-profile games this past weekend to spots in the first regular-season AP Top 25 Tuesday.There is especially a feeling of uncertainty that lingers around Deion Sanders’ Buffaloes, who were stunningly competent and explosive in beating TCU with an almost completely new roster, a substantial chunk of which arrived after spring practice.TCU was last season’s biggest surprise. Coming off a losing season, unranked in the preseason and with a new coach, the Horned Frogs r...

Out-of-work Coloradans with legitimate claims waiting months for benefits — if they receive them at all

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 03:39:03 GMT

The state’s attempt to prevent fraud in its unemployment system is having an unintended consequence: preventing thousands of legitimate claims from being paid.At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 when Colorado unemployment skyrocketed to 11.3% from a historic low of 2.5%, the Department of Labor and Employment’s system at times was overwhelmed. It even crashed on a day when 21,000 people filed for benefits.This time, Coloradans can usually file their claims, but they are facing difficulties getting paid — if they’re paid at all — and reaching real people to talk about their situations is proving to be a Herculean task for some.After more than five years working for CPCneutek, a commercial printer in Grand Junction, 68-year-old Ilene Harsip lost her job.She filed an unemployment claim in June.
