Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 05:43:11 GMT

Denver Post Broncos writer Parker Gabriel posts his Broncos Mailbag periodically during the offseason. Click here to submit a question.The Broncos could conceivably enter Chiefs Week 6 with a 5-0 record. Do you believe, as I do, that less than that and certainly a losing record will mean a change at quarterback. I also believe yanking Russell Wilson for the first time will also be for the last time. What are your thoughts on Sean Payton’s patience level, (or lack thereof), at QB?— A Referee, GreeleyRef just ruled the ball out of bounds off of Nikola Jokic. Again.To your question, stripes, a 5-0 start for the Broncos is conceivable since it’s June and no games have been played yet. Getting to that point means ending a long losing streak against the Raiders, winning at Miami and knocking off a Jets team that won in Denver last year and has Aaron Rodgers now, plus winning at Chicago and at home against Washington.Do I think that at 3-2 they’re going to bench Russell W...

WATCH: Ukraine accuses Russia of destroying major dam, warns of ecological disaster

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 05:43:11 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The wall of a major dam in a part of southern Ukraine that Moscow controls collapsed Tuesday after a reported explosion, sending water gushing downriver and prompting dire warnings of ecological disaster as officials from both sides in the war ordered residents to evacuate.Ukraine accused Russian forces of blowing up the dam and hydroelectric power station, while Russian officials blamed Ukrainian military strikes in the contested area.The fallout could have broad consequences: Flooding homes, streets and businesses downstream; depleting water levels upstream that help cool Europe’s largest nuclear power plant; and draining supplies of drinking water to the south in Crimea, which Russia illegally annexed.The dam break added a complex new element to Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, now in its 16th month. Ukrainian forces were widely seen to be moving forward with a long-anticipated counteroffensive in patches along more than 1000 kilometers (6...
