Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:54:39 GMT

Broncos safety Kareem Jackson has played for four different head coaches during his NFL career. Sean Payton is unlike anyone he has been around.Jackson came away impressed by Payton’s meticulous coaching style and how he taught the game during the Broncos’ OTAs and minicamp. While Jackson watched the former New Orleans Saints coach implement his game plan during Denver’s offseason program, the 13-year veteran realized he’s never worked with a football mind like Payton.“It’s no disrespect to any of my other coaches,” Jackson said. “(Payton’s) attention to detail (and) the way he’s teaching everybody…the younger guys (might) not understand it now.

Opinion: Democrats, GOP prove they don’t care about what voters want

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:54:39 GMT

This week, it was reported that a group of leading Democratic strategists and former officials — including President Joe Biden’s former chief of staff — met recently with anti-Trump Republicans to hatch a plan to “subvert” a third option for the 2024 presidential race from the group No Labels, which I lead.To be clear, this was not a meeting about how to beat No Labels on the merits (which we would welcome).
