Broncos coach Vic Fangio was asked in his postgame press conference why there is so wide a gap between his team and the rest of the division. His response was focused on one area. “Those other three teams have top-shelf quarterbacks, which is obvious to everybody,” Fangio said. “We just need to get a little bit better.” MORE: Highlights from Chiefs-Broncos in Week 18 “We had a good game against the Chargers (a win in Week 12), last week was the COVID game and we had a tough day (against LA)....

“We’ve had some Super Bowl success in our white uniforms,” general manager and executive vice president John Elway said, via the team website, “and we’re looking forward to wearing them again in Super Bowl 50.” As the designated home team for the game, the Broncos — 2-5 in previous Super Bowls — got to choose their uniform color. They’ll wear the all-white uniforms they wore when they got their second Super Bowl victory, with MVP Elway at quarterback against the Falcons in 1999....

Denver defenders praised Newton on Monday during Super Bowl 50 Opening Night at the SAP Center in San Jose. “He’s the best player they have. He might be the best player in the league,” Broncos linebacker Von Miller said of Newton. “Cam is a super tough player to take down, he controls that whole offense. As Cam goes, that offense goes.” PHOTOS: Best of Super Bowl Opening Night | Newton’s dances...

The Brooks Koepka-Bryson DeChambeau feud is largely petty and pretty funny, with the two golfers sharing a very healthy dislike of one another. There’s enough beef to feed a small village between them. DeChambeau recently took to an interview to complain about the quality of his driver after the first round of the British Open, with a representative from his club manufacturer calling his tirade something that an “8-year-old” would do....

The 24-year-old, signed from Hertha Berlin in May for an American record €20 million, exited in the 37th minute of Wolfsburg’s 1-0 win over Eintracht Norderstedt in the DFB-Pokal first round. Brooks has earned 32 caps for the U.S., establishing himself as a starter alongside Geoff Cameron in central defense. The U.S. resumes World Cup qualifying against Costa Rica on Sept. 1 in Harrison, New Jersey, before traveling to face Honduras four days later....

In addition to going to counseling sessions twice a week, Hunt will be baptized Sunday. He told reporters: “I’m looking forward to it so I can feel reborn.” According to cleveland.com, Browns general manager John Dorsey and coach Freddie Kitchens surprised Hunt at his baptism. Hunt was suspended for the first eight games of 2019 after a video surfaced of him shoving and kicking a woman in the hallway of a Cleveland hotel last February while he was playing for the Chiefs, who released him in late November....

Randi Mahomes, mother of KC QB Patrick Mahomes, was understandably shaken after seeing her son struggle to get to and stand on his feet after a hit by Browns linebacker Mack Wilson this past weekend. The Mahomes matriarch took to Twitter to rag on the hit that sidelined her son, calling it “trash football.” Well, Wilson harbored no ill will toward Patrick and made sure to make peace with Momma Mahomes as well after some more rough tweets from Randi, including one that called Wilson “evil....

Almost. San Francisco’s Nick Bosa – a former Ohio State defensive end – had one to settle with Mayfield from 2017 when he pretended to plant a flag after forcing an intentional grounding penalty in the second quarter of a 31-3 blowout on Monday Night Football. Mayfield, of course, planted a Sooners flag at Ohio Stadium after leading Oklahoma to a prime-time victory in 2017. An old feud from college – one that conflicted some Browns/Ohio State fans – is the least of Mayfield’s problems right now....

Looking back at what general manager John Dorsey has done in his 15 months in Cleveland to clean up the league’s biggest mess might feel miraculous, but it’s more meticulous, correcting mistakes of the past with confidence and aggressiveness. OBJ TRADE GRADES:Giants’ inept management proves costly, gifts Browns new luxury When Dorsey was hired to replace Sashi Brown as the Browns’ primary personnel decision-maker on Dec. 7, 2017, he was given an 0-12 team on its way to winless-ness....

When Siemian was injured, and largely unknown Luke Falk came into the game, the already struggling offense seemed like it would probably only get worse. And yet, Falk performed decently under the circumstances. That first drive he handed the ball off to Le’Veon Bell and drove the team down for a field goal, and finished the game with an unspectacular, but dependable stat line. Still, it wasn’t enough at home on “Monday Night Football” as Cleveland’s offense finally clicked and the defense demolished the Jets’ offensive line to beat New York 23-3....

The question is this—would Pearl, who’s working as a college basketball analyst for ESPN, want back in the game? “I don’t know,” Pearl told USA Today. “I’m working hard to put myself in position if the opportunity presented itself. But I can tell you that if I don’t ever coach again, it won’t be something that will haunt me. I don’t feel like I’ve gotta get back into coaching to prove anything to anybody....

After the Bruins lost to New York 5-4 on Monday, Cassidy said during his postgame news conference that his counterparts have sold a narrative that they are “more like the New York Saints, not the New York Islanders,” according to a video shared by NBC Boston.

GodSlap is a creation from the mind of content creator and gaming streamer Charles “MoistCr1TikaL” White, who also goes by “penguinz0” on YouTube. It follows the tale of protagonist Aius Braun, a young man with devastating power and the desire to change the world around him.

However, Silva was arrested as a precaution and later charged with two other offenses after he came to the police’s attention for a series of “concerning” social media posts in the hours leading up to the incident. Suspect Christopher Darnell Jones was taken into custody around 12 hours after the shooting, which left three dead and two injured. Earlier on Sunday, Silva had come to the attention of social media users for posts on his Facebook account....

Brady’s retirement lasted all of 40 days before he announced he was returning to the Buccaneers to play his age-45 season. That brief hiatus from the game hasn’t impacted his overall performance, but it has left a lasting impact on how he views each game. On his “‘Let’s Go!’ Podcast,” Brady spoke about how he felt after Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season. He explained that his emotions are running high, and the reason for that is simple....

The Buccaneers are placing the pass rusher on the non-football injury list, according to a report from ESPN, which cites unidentified league sources. He will not be eligible to play until Week 6. Pierre-Paul, 30, fractured vertebra in a car wreck in May and made his first Tampa Bay practice appearance of the year on Tuesday. He hasn’t been cleared to play yet. He opted not to undergo surgery to repair his injury and is expected to be capable of returning to the gridiron in October or November....
