Broncos safety Justin Simmons is living proof that bad football happens to good people.Free Justin Simmons. He deserves better than this stinkin’ mess in Denver.If the Broncos do nothing else between now and the NFL trade deadline on Oct. 31, here’s hoping they do right by Simmons and let him join a team that knows how to win.His tale of football woe has been well-documented: Simmons arrived in 2016 as a third-round draft choice, too late to ride in the victory parade celebrating Super Bowl 50, but just in time to huddle around a dumpster fire nobody knows how to extinguish. Now in his eighth NFL season, Simmons has never been to the playoffs, lost 75 of 120 games and listened to five head coaches sell him a bill of goods.After being conditioned to disappointment, does a man ever get used to the bitter taste of defeat?“It doesn’t get any easier,” Simmons said Wednesday.This might be the worst team in the 64-season history of the Broncos, and know what the real bummer is?

Newsom signs bill allowing cities, counties to ban artificial turf

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:52:41 GMT

Despite increasing popularity due to a yearslong statewide drought, artificial turf is a new enemy of the California State Legislature.A bill signed into law by Governor Newsom this year would allow cities and counties to ban synthetic lawns over health concerns associated with so-called “forever chemicals,” or PFAS, that have been linked to health concerns, including cancer.An environmental expert at USC said more research should be done to determine the actual health impact, but was concerned about the plastics entering the water supply.Newsom stopped short of an outright ban on the turf as he vetoed a different bill that would have banned the "forever chemicals" and, in effect, the fake turf.
