ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Judging by the vibe at Wednesday's “ramp-up” workout, the Denver Broncos are in for a much tougher training camp under new head coach Sean Payton than the infamous “Camp Cupcake” they took part in under Nathaniel Hackett a year ago.“We all saw it in the intensity and the sense of urgency from OTAs and minicamp and it just carried over into the practice that we just had,” wide receiver Courtland Sutton said. "... I was just talking to one of the guys in the weight room about how we do anything is how we do everything.”Players appear to have steeled themselves for a much more rigorous training camp and preseason slate than they had under Hackett, who was canned after just 11 months and four wins.“You can see it with their weights and the workouts we did yesterday, I think they're in good shape,” Payton said after the spirited 90-minute practice that officially kicked off his first training camp in Denver. Broncos defensive lineman suspended for betting on gam...

New poll shows Warren vulnerable in 2024, pollsters say

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:14:04 GMT

Elizabeth Warren’s position in the U.S. Senate is not guaranteed, a poll of 750 likely voters conducted on behalf of MassFiscal showed, according to the pollsters.Asked to consider a theoretical matchup between the two-term senator and former Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito, 41% of respondents said they would give Warren a third term, compared to 29% who would pick Polito. A full 30% were undecided.“It really looks like Sen. Warren is potentially vulnerable for the right candidate and for the right message and it’s something that if I were in her camp I’d be a little bit concerned about,” Jim Eltringham of D.C.-based polling company Advantage Inc., said during a Thursday call with the press.This is the second poll Mass Fiscal has called for where they’ve pitted the 74-year-old Democrat against a well-known Bay State Republican candidate, after conducting the same thought experiment using former Gov. Charlie Baker as foil in May. That poll, as theoretical as this one, showed Baker could ...

Former U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte has continued her crusade against the Bay State saying fentanyl has a pipeline into New Hampshire from “Biden’s open border to Massachusetts.”In launching her bid to be the Granite State’s next governor, the Republican former state attorney general warned her state was one election away from turning into its heavily liberal neighbor. On Thursday, she was more pointed in her critique.“Fentanyl is being trafficked from Biden’s open border to Massachusetts and into New Hampshire,” she wrote on Twitter, before sharing almost a dozen news stories documenting the arrests of Massachusetts residents in New Hampshire on drug-related charges.During an early week appearance on “Fox and Friends,” Ayotte said the deadly synthetic opioid is coming into her state through the cities of Lowell and Lawrence. Her comments were met with a sharp rebuke from officials in Lawrence and Bay State political pundits, one of whom Ayotte says “attac...
