FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers has been the primary attraction at New York Jets camp this summer.Fans and media — and the “Hard Knocks” film crew — have flocked to the team’s facility during the past month to watch the four-time NFL MVP work with his new wide receivers, tight ends and running backs. And things have gone rather smoothly.Except for the big boys up front.The Jets’ offensive line has struggled with consistency and injuries during camp, to the point it’s still mostly uncertain who’ll be blocking in front of Rodgers when the regular season kicks off against Buffalo on Sept. 11 in front of a national audience.“It’s a work in progress,” Rodgers said this week.That’s putting it lightly.Heading into the Jets’ third preseason game Saturday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there are question marks at almost every spot on the offensive line.“It’s just becoming a unit,” coach Robert Saleh said. “I don’t think anyone in here is panicked.”But Saleh was s...

The NFL’s relaxed jersey rules are not for nothing. Meet the players who now wear number 0

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Marcus Davenport was on his way to meet his best man for some day-before wedding preparations when he took a call from his new head coach Kevin O’Connell.The Minnesota Vikings had just drafted Jordan Addison. Call it first-round privilege, but the rookie wide receiver had worn the No. 3 jersey his whole life. That was Davenport’s original pick upon signing with Minnesota as a free agent the previous month, but the sixth-year outside linebacker agreed to switch with his mind happily preoccupied with the impending nuptials. All the numbers in the 90s were claimed, and Davenport was disinterested in negotiating a trade with — or putting pressure on — a teammate. He then made the first of many wise decisions as a married man: He listened to his wife.“She was like, ‘Nobody has really ever had zero. Why don’t you be different? This is a new chapter, a new you,’” Davenport recalled in an interview after a recent practice with the Vikings. “I like...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:28:41 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Marijuana was officially the state's most lucrative "vice tax" last year. Marijuana legalization advocates leaned heavily on marijuana's possibilities as a state revenue generator in order to gain support for statewide legalization. Nearly a decade later, their predictions have come true, according to an analysis of state tax data from the Colorado General Assembly Legislative Council Staff. Bright orange iguana found in Cherry Creek State Park Colorado made more in tax revenue from marijuana in the 2022-23 fiscal year than from either alcohol or cigarettes, and nearly as much as the two combined.

Together, cigarettes and alcohol taxes totaled $290 million in tax revenue. Marijuana tax revenue has gone towards school funding more than any other tax obligation, followed by drug program...
