Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:53:41 GMT

Kiz: Raise your hand if you had this trip to Houston to play the Texans as the biggest game of 2023 for your Denver Broncos when the NFL schedule came out back in May. And if I see any hands raised in Broncos Country, I have a one-word response: Liar! With C.J. Stroud playing like the best rookie quarterback this league has seen since Andrew Luck, the Texans are legit. On a five-game winning streak, the Broncos are talking playoffs. But can both these 6-5 teams get there from here?Take Our Poll(function(d,c,j){if(!d.getElementById(j)){var pd=d.createElement(c),s;pd.id=j;pd.src='https://www.denverpost.com/wp-content/plugins/polldaddy/js/polldaddy-shortcode.js';s=d.getElementsByTagName(c)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(pd,s);} else if(typeof jQuery !=='undefined')jQuery(d.body).trigger('pd-script-load');}(document,'script','pd-polldaddy-loader'));Gabriel: Oh, it’s possible, though I certainly don’t have the math skills to give you the long-hand proof.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:53:41 GMT

The 10 Freeway area near downtown Los Angeles reopened weeks ahead of schedule after a suspected arson fire.An initial estimate given by California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Nov. 14 saw a three to five-week timeframe for repairs, which was later changed to Tuesday, Nov. 21 and ultimately Monday, Nov. 20.“What began as months has turned into days — before Angelenos hit the road on Monday, we’re opening the 10 back up,” Gov.

Why environmentalists are suing the National Park Service to prevent it from planting trees

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:53:41 GMT

By Jonathan Park and Janna Van Vranken | CNNThe National Park Service wants to replant sequoia groves in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, where wildfires in 2020 and 2021 inflicted lasting damage on the iconic sequoia forests. Environmentalists in California say it’s a huge mistake.Four groups filed suit against the NPS on November 17, saying the agency’s effort violates the law as it includes planting in designated wilderness areas, where human involvement in the ecosystem is explicitly prohibited.The NPS announced the seedling-planting project earlier this fall, saying it was “concerned that natural regeneration may not be sufficient to support self-sustaining groves into the future, particularly as the fires killed an unprecedented number of reproductive sequoia trees in the groves themselves.”Chad Hanson, the director of the John Muir Project, one of the groups that filed suit, disputes that conclusion. Sequoias are among the species of trees that actually “depend on hig...
