Broncos QBs Tested Negative for COVID-19 Following Saints Game

According to ESPN, the Denver Broncos recorded no new positive COVID-19 tests following Sunday's quarterback-less debacle against the Saints. On a related note, the team is hopeful that all three of its quarterbacks will be cleared to return to the team on Tuesday after they all came up negative during tests for the virus on Monday. Their immediate future(s) now hinge on a follow-up test to be administered Tuesday. If those tests are negative then their return(s) will be complete. Also on, well, another related note, coach Vic Fangio said that further discipline for QBs Drew Lock, Brett Rypien, and Blake Bortles, remains "on the table." 

On Sunday the team lost by a score of 31-3. If you're an overthinker, you may regret not making a bet on the game because it was probably the easiest money you were ever going to get. The team lost 31-3 due to a predictably feeble passing attack, which is a direct result of it being helmed by a practice squad wide receiver, Kendall Hinton. 

Hinton's out-of-position services were made necessary by the fact that the aforementioned QBs were held out from the contest because they were all deemed "high risk" close contacts of other quarterback Jeff Driskel. Driskel is also facing potential discipline. Anyway, Hinton ended up throwing for 13 yards on nine attempts, and completed more passes (two) to the Saints than he did (one) to the Broncos. 

As for why further discipline may be enacted, all four of the actual quarterbacks were found to have violated protocols by not wearing masks or practicing social distancing. QB Drew Lock owned up to his "honest mistake" via a Twitter apology on Sunday:

Earlier in the 2020 season, Denver was hit with a $250,000 fine for not following protocols. In addition to that, Fangio also got docked $100,000. The team may now face a fine or lose a future draft pick.

"We're going to consider all that and, again, try to see what the league, if they have anything planned and if not, we'll take our measures,'' said Fangio.

After being asked for specifics, Fangio added that "Everything's on the table, but right now I would say it's more the fine mode.''

To hedge his bets on his current QBs returning, Fangio has brought in another signal caller, Kyle Shurmur, for a tryout.

https://ift.tt/3qSH1Ig Nos encontramos ante un contexto económico y empresarial sin precedentes en nuestra historia moderna . La crisis provocada por la pandemia ha hecho que el Gobierno se haya visto obligado a poner en marcha una serie de medidas con el fin de preservar la financiación de pymes y autónomos y evitar que una crisis de liquidez pueda poner en riesgo su viabilidad, entre las que destacan los créditos ICO . Sin embargo, la banca no lo está poniendo nada fácil . Según las últimas estadísticas del Banco de España , correspondientes al mes de enero de 2021, la TAE de las nuevas operaciones de financiación de cuantía inferior a los 250.000 euros, que se suele asociar con las pymes y los autónomos, se situó en enero en el 3,48 por ciento TAE, casi un punto más que en el mes de diciembre de 2020 (2,55 por ciento TAE). Este repunte se explica fundamentalmente por un mayor volumen de comisiones aplicadas en los préstamos y créditos bancarios. De hecho, el TEDR (la TAE excluyen...

Colorado High School Coach Says He Was Forced to Resign Because He’s Gay

-
https://ift.tt/Oj01b3 Colorado high school students are demonstrating in support of Inoke Tonga, a volleyball coach who claims he was forced to resign from his job because of his sexuality.  According to the  Denver Post , Tonga left his position at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, where he had coached the volleyball team during the 2020-2021 school year. The coach said he intended to continue his role for the upcoming season, but was essentially pressured to leave his job after school administrators found out he was gay through his social media activity. Tonga says administrators had called him in for a meeting, in which they expressed their concerns over his sexuality and the affect it may have on the students. “I sat in the room being grilled about how being gay is a ‘danger’ to the school and to the kids,” Tonga wrote on Instagram. “That with me ‘identifying as a gay man, they can’t put the kids at risk by having me in front of them.’” He cont...
