Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:31:39 GMT

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has disclosed three trips he accepted from billionaire Harlan Crow last year, according to documents made public Thursday.Thomas has denied any wrongdoing in accepting the trips, two of which were to Dallas and one to the Adirondacks in New York. For one of the trips, Thomas said he flew private because of security concerns following the leak of the draft abortion opinion.His new financial disclosure form also includes supplemental information about a 2014 real estate transaction with Crow, which Thomas’s attorney said Thursday was “inadvertently omitted” from past reports.

ProPublica also reported on trips that Crow paid for Thomas in its stories. Thomas previously said he was advised that the trips he accepted from C...

Broncos offense two-deep: Can Sean Payton turn around fortunes of Russell Wilson & Co.?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:31:39 GMT

First-year head coach Sean Payton wants to take the offense’s 2022 performance, lock it in a box and toss it into the ocean. Denver averaged a league-worst 16.9 points per game in a profoundly disappointing one-and-done season under head coach Nathaniel Hackett. Now it’s up to Payton to turn things around, and there’s reason to believe he can. Quarterback Russell Wilson rededicated himself to getting in the best shape of his career. Running back Javonte Williams miraculously returned to the field in the preseason despite tearing his ACL less than a year ago. And the Broncos’ revamped offensive line is primed for improvement after allowing 55 sacks last year. Here’s a look at the team’s projected two-deep on offense:QuarterbackRussell Wilson | 35-11, 215, 34, 12th season, Wisconsin/N.C. StateWilson’s dreadful 2022 season was a fluke. Or at least that’s what head coach Sean Payton believes. Entering his second year in Denver and perhaps the most important...
