Broncos position preview: Randy Gregory leads edge group that has talent, but questions abound

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:25:38 GMT

Editor’s note: Seventh in a series previewing the Broncos’ position groups entering training camp. Today, outside linebackers.On the roster (nine): Christopher Allen, Nik Bonitto, Baron Browning, Frank Clark, Jonathon Cooper, Randy Gregory, Marcus Haynes, Thomas Incoom, Aaron Patrick.How many on the 53?: Five or six.Most impactful offseason move: Signing Clark during the offseason program.It happened late, but it happened nonetheless. The Broncos brought in the three-time Pro Bowler from their division rival Kansas City last month. He’ll be in a Denver uniform for the first time when camp begins. Clark didn’t up “wow” numbers with the Chiefs in the regular season — his last double-digit sack campaign came in 2018 with Seattle — but he provides a veteran presence in a group that started the offseason with depth questions and is already dealing with injury issues (Browning is expected to begin the season on PUP due to a knee surgery).Biggest question to answer in cam...

More Americans getting turned down for loans, Fed data shows

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:25:38 GMT

By Alex Tanzi | BloombergAmericans are increasingly likely to get turned down when they apply for credit, according to a new Federal Reserve survey that shows the combined impact of high interest rates and a cautious turn among the country’s lenders.The rejection rate for loan applicants jumped to 21.8% in the 12 months through June, the highest level in five years, according to the latest edition of the Fed survey, which is published every four months. Overall credit applications declined to the lowest level since October 2020.In the previous survey, published in February before the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and other US lenders, the rejection rate was 17.3%. The increase since then has been broad-based across age groups, and highest among those with credit scores below 680.In auto loans, for the first time since the survey began in 2013, the rejection rate — which climbed to 14.2% from 9.1% — exceeded the application rate.What’s more, almost one-third of auto-loan applicants...

Opinion: Ever-increasing storms don’t have to be this catastrophic

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:25:38 GMT

Imagine trying to build a boat while it’s already at sea and taking on water. You rush from springing leak to springing leak, haunted by a vague sense that a storm is coming but with no idea how big it will be or how long it will last.This more or less describes how the United States is approaching the growing flood threat posed by a warmer atmosphere that holds more water, subjecting the country to bouts of torrential, catastrophic rainfall. Lives are being lost and property destroyed partly because we’re moving too slowly to embrace proven solutions to bolster our infrastructure against disasters that are becoming increasingly routine.Last week in Vermont and New York’s Hudson Valley, months’ worth of rain fell in hours, overwhelming antiquated water-management infrastructure, resulting in widespread flooding that took at least one life and wiped out roads, bridges, houses and more. Both places had experienced severe flooding before and had taken modest steps to avoid it. Those ef...

California Hot Wheels designer to be inducted into Automotive Hall of Fame

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:25:38 GMT

It started with 16 model cars in 1968 — and from there, an iconic toy brand was born.That brand, of course, is Hot Wheels, the tiny Mattel cars that became one of the most popular toys in the country.And Redondo Beach’s Larry Wood is part of that legacy.Wood, now 81 years old, worked as a Mattel designer for decades, beginning in 1969. His first Hot Wheels designs hit the market in 1970, and he continued working at Mattel, which is based in El Segundo, until he retired in 2019.Wood is well-known among Hot Wheels collectors — and later this week, he will be inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in Detroit. The ceremony is Thursday, June 20.“I don’t know where that came from,” the Redondo resident said in a recent interview at his Long Beach garage, where he works daily on his vintage cars, surrounded by Hot Wheels memorabilia. “But all I can figure is I made so many guys play with them through the years and some of them became car guys.”Wood could not put a number on how many Hot...
