  23-10-2016 23:51
  
  DENVER (AP) – Brock Osweiler wanted to follow Peyton Manning’s path, not live in his shadow.
  And that, he said, was the reason for his remark that drew so much ire back in Denver last spring.
  Osweiler swears he meant no disrespect to Denver when he said at his introductory news conference in Houston that he chose the Texans over the Broncos in free agency because they gave him the “best opportunity to be successful.”

  23-10-2016 22:22
  
  ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – The Denver Broncos’ dazzling defense has a fatal flaw: It keeps showing up late.

  “Last year we gave up 18.5 points per game, and this year we are giving up 18 points per game,” defensive

  Dear Amy: I am a housekeeper for the best family in the world. I know they love me and we share mutual respect.
  I am paid $400/week. I’m not starving, for sure. But the problem is that on holidays and my birthday, the gifts are mostly clothes from stores I will never go to.
  I cannot afford to maintain these clothes — the dry cleaning is not cheap.

  Bass clarinetist and bandleader Jason Stein has been putting his abundant creativity on display for a number of years. Whether it’s on his own, often-excellent recordings or as a sideman for other artists in the Chicago area he calls home, his unique voice and quirky improvisations are worth seeking out. But his sister’s recent rise to fame has allowed him the opportunity to play in large venues where forward-leaning jazz artists rarely have the opportunity to share their talents.

  It’s a brilliant combination, and as a result, “My Bad” is arguably Ramos’ finest novel.

  Halfway through “North of Crazy” is a rabidly honest sentence, one of many in a cathartic memoir that often reads like an extended artist’s statement.

  Specifically, the sickbed of one David Stirling. A less likely war hero would be difficult to imagine. In college, Stirling misbehaved on a lavish
