Frank Clark’s short, strange journey with the Broncos is coming to an end.Denver intends to trade or release him over the coming days after agreeing with the veteran pass-rusher to a restructured deal that facilitates either outcome, sources confirmed to The Denver Post.The writing’s been slowly stretching across the wall, but it dialed up a notch this week when Clark didn’t practice Tuesday due to a reported illness and then was ruled out for Thursday’s night’s game against his old team, Kansas City.Clark was in the locker room briefly during the time open to reporters Tuesday but Broncos media relations staff said he was not available for interview due to his illness.The Broncos have already traded one veteran pass rusher in Randy Gregory, who went to San Francisco last week along with a 2024 seventh-round pick in return for a 2024 sixth-round pick, and now may end up dealing another.Just Tuesday, Denver coach Sean Payton said, “We’re not ...

Opinion: A joyous Jewish wedding could not be shattered by Hamas’ terror

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:39:30 GMT

Five months ago I traveled to Israel for the opening of the Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem and subsequently wrote these words describing Israel’s time of need: “surrounded by deadly enemies, principally Iran and its proxies who play the leading role in funding terrorists who attempt to kill Israelis and disrupt Israeli life on a daily basis.”Those words haunted me on what should have been a joyous day — my son’s wedding. On Saturday morning, prepared for the celebration, I woke up to the horrific news of Israel being attacked by Hamas terrorists.While in Israel, I had visited the Western Wall to pray for peace and the health and welfare of my friends and family. The Western Wall is one of the four supporting walls of the Temple Mount still standing since the destruction of the Second Temple and dates back to 20 BCE. For me, like generations of Jews, the Western Wall is a source of inspiration and prayer.I purchased two Star of David necklaces from the daughter of...

During the time they were on the lam, the two argued about what went wrong during the incident, a perso...

Algeria: Journalist’s appeal of seven-year sentence rejected

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:39:30 GMT

ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — A journalist in Algeria targeted as part of a broader crackdown against pro-democracy protests will remain imprisoned after the country’s Supreme Court rejected his appeals on Thursday.Defense attorneys for Ihsane El Kadi, the owner of a media company that oversaw Algeria’s now-shuttered news site Maghreb Emergent and radio station Radio M, filed two appeals asking the court to overturn the journalist’s sentence for taking foreign funds for his media outlets and “inciting acts susceptible to threaten state security.”El Kadi is one of hundreds of people associated with Algeria’s pro-democracy movement who have faced criminal charges and imprisonment. His website and radio station emerged as key channels during the North African nation’s 2019 Hirak protests.In April, a court in Algiers gave him a 7-year sentence that included three years in prison and ordered his website and radio station shut down. The sentence was part of a...

NEW YORK (AP) — Billie Jean King is still globetrotting in support of more investment and equity in women’s sports.She attended the Women’s World Cup in Australia, kicked off the player draft for the new women’s professional hockey league in Toronto and is opening an office in London for a tennis business venture involving the international Billie Jean King Cup.That’s all in the last three months for King, who turns 80 in November.“We’re kind of at a tipping point,” King said. “People are actually looking at women’s sports like a great investment.”She’s part of ownership groups involved with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the NWSL’s Angel City FC and the PWHL hockey league that starts in January. Her busy schedule is reminiscent of the summer of 1973, when a 29-year-old King established the WTA, won the Wimbledon triple crown in singles, doubles and mixed doubles, achieved equal pay at the U.S. Open and beat self-proclaimed chauvinist Bobby Riggs in the “Battle of the Sexes” m...

MARSEILLE, France (AP) — Wales has gone for two openside flankers in captain Jac Morgan and Tommy Reffell to try and hamstring Argentina in their Rugby World Cup quarterfinal on Saturday.Backs Dan Biggar and Liam Williams were confirmed to start after injuries, among six changes on Thursday.

It was about getting our best players on the field.“I spoke to Jac and he was comfortable moving to six....
