Kickin’ It with Kiz: Sean Payton will need to drink something stronger than two lattes if he can’t put stop to the losing in Broncos Country

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:44:21 GMT

I don’t think we signed Sean Payton as Broncos coach to tickle our bellies.Gerard, can handle the truthKiz: Payton was hired to kick keisters. He doesn’t dance. So when the new Broncos coach told his handpicked media confidant, Jarrett Bell of USA Today, “Everything I heard about last season, we’re doing the opposite,” it was no accident. Nor was saying Nathaniel Hackett destroyed any chance the team had for success with what “might have been one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL.” And I had no problem with putting the organization on blast. I had a problem with Payton apologizing for his hot take, backtracking and calling his blunt honesty a mistake to be blamed on two lattes he consumed before the interview. That’s all well and good. But Payton is going to need something stronger to drink than coffee if he can’t end the Broncos’ misery against Kansas City.Naming names was a low blow and classless, but Payton ...

Shelby Harris visits as Broncos continue to explore defensive line options

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:44:21 GMT

In the search for defensive line depth following the indefinite suspension of Eyioma Uwazurike and Mike Purcell being on the active/non-football injury list, the Broncos reached out to a familiar face.Denver held a visit for veteran defensive lineman Shelby Harris on Friday. Denver head coach Sean Payton thought the visit was worthwhile since Harris, who played five seasons for the Broncos, lives in the area. No further action was taken outside of the meeting as Payton expects the team to continue to explore their options.“We’ll have a few others that we’d look to bring in,” Payton said without disclosing names. “Nothing other than that.”The Broncos’ defensive line was one of the biggest question marks going into training camp, and things got more complicated due to Uwazurike’s suspension for violating the NFL’s gambling policy. Harris, who was sent to Seattle in 2022 as part of the Russell Wilson trade, could fill Denver’s need for an interior D-lineman who can rush the passe...

Pacifica: Generations of surfers catch waves at Kahuna Kapuna amateur surf event

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:44:21 GMT

Over the last two decades, Pacifica’s Kahuna Kapuna amateur surf competition has become notorious for falling on a day of choppy waves and chilly conditions. But on Saturday morning, dozens of competitors at this year’s event were treated to a steady swell and even a hint of blue sky peeking through the fog.“It’s glassy and clean, and there’s some good sets rolling through,” said Anya Arthur after her first heat of the day. “So this is a real gem.”Kahuna Kapuna — which translates roughly to “Big Chief, wise elder” in Hawaiian — is billed as the world’s only amateur competition showcasing older wave riders, ages 40 and up. It returned to Pacifica State Beach — the one with the beachside Taco Bell — for its 23rd year.“It’s a good reason to get together and have a good time and chill on the beach all day,” said Arthur, 41. “Clear your schedule and make a day for it.”S...

Joint UCSC study provides insights into ancient Incan society

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:44:21 GMT

SANTA CRUZ — A recently published study, co-authored by UC Santa Cruz Anthropology Professor Lars Fehren-Schmitz, analyzing the 500 year-old DNA of those buried near Peru’s iconic Incan citadel Machu Picchu, shows that the servant class that lived and died there — forcefully relocated to the structure by the Incan empire — hailed from more diverse backgrounds than scientists had anticipated.“The people that we are actually looking at are servants to the royal family,” said Fehren-Schmitz. “The Inca had a very complex system of forced relocation that they also used to control the places that they occupied and to maintain their political relationships.”The recently published study, titled “Insights into the genetic histories and lifeways of Machu Picchu’s occupants,” was conducted over a 12-year span, and included researchers from Yale, Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco, Tulane University, the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, in addition to UCSC and...

Lt. Gov. Kounalakis, CSU students discuss proposed tuition hike

With many California State University students, faculty and staff opposing the system’s proposed 6% annual tuition hike over the next five years,  Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis met with student leaders at Cal State Los Angeles on Friday to discuss anticipated impacts of the embattled increase.“My first response was shock, and mostly because the trustees did a study on how much money they need to operate the system — which is valid — but they have not studied what the impact of our system as a whole is going to be on increasing tuition,” Kounalakis said, in an interview after the roundtable concluded.The CSU Board of Trustees’ Committee on Finance weighed the proposal on July 11 and decided to send it to the full board for final approval. CSU officials say is necessary to help offset a $1.5 billion funding gap.The board will likely hear the item in September, though the date won’t be confirmed until the agenda for that month’s meeting is released.A CSU workgroup first identified the mass...
