Shilo Sanders Turns Heads With Apple Watch Drop for Colorado Players
Shilo Sanders Turns Heads With Apple Watch Drop for Colorado Players originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Shilo Sanders may be in the NFL now, but the former Colorado safety is still finding ways to influence the Buffaloes program he helped elevate. Advertisement In a recent video posted by defensive lineman Tawfiq Thomas, many other Colorado players showed off Apple Watches gifted by Sanders, now a rookie safety with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Thomas celebrated the moment by flashing his new piece of technology and wrote, 'Apple Watch after workout. Yes sir, Shilo!' The group of Buffs joined in by doing 'The Shedeur," honoring Shilo's younger brother and former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. His gift carried a deeper message that despite moving on, he remains connected to the program. During his time in Boulder, Sanders was known as a vocal leader and a presence on and off the field. He embraced recruiting efforts and took ownership of the defense, often urging prospective players to reach out directly. Now, his leadership takes a new form by reminding current players that the brotherhood doesn't end when players leave campus. Advertisement In a college football era dominated by NIL deals and the transfer portal, moments of continuity resonate. The Apple Watches may draw attention, but the real value lies in the message of loyalty and legacy.

The massive default judgement stems from damages to a former high school security guard during a 2015 assault.

Packers QB Jordan Love Generating Buzz Ahead of 2025 Season
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entering last season, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was expected to have a big-time year. After showing superstar flashes during his first season as the team's starter following the Aaron Rodgers trade, the sky was the limit for Love. Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury in Week 1 that forced him to miss a couple of games. He never took the leap that had been expected from him after that. Despite the lower production from Love, the Packers took a step forward as a team. They improved from a 9-8 record in 2023 to 11-6 in 2024. Now, the team is hoping to see him take his personal game to another level. Jordan Love #10 of the Green Bay Packers walks off the field after their 30-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium on October 27, 2024 in Jacksonville, Florida.

Photo byThroughout the course of the 2024 NFL season, Love played in 15 games. He completed 63.1 percent of his pass attempts for 3,389 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Those aren't bad numbers, but they weren't a step in the right direction. Read more: Packers Attempted to Make Intriguing Wide Receiver Trade: Report Heading into the 2025 season, Love has now received some major hype. One NFL analyst believes he's an under-the-radar MVP candidate. That analyst is none other than Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report. "Is it doable? The long-awaited addition of a first-round pick at receiver should help as Matthew Golden joins the fray in 2025. After all, only Daniel Jones saw his receivers drop passes more frequently than Love last year. And it's important to remember this guy has just two full seasons as a starter under his belt," Gagnon wrote. "There's plenty of room for Love to grow, and the support could be there now for a quarterback who posted a 105.7 passer rating on deep attempts last year." Love taking a jump and becoming a legitimate MVP candidate would do wonders for Green Bay's offense. He has the weapons to produce a much bigger season than he did last year. Read more: Packers' Jordan Love Speaks Out After Aaron Rodgers Signs With Steelers As of right now, the Packers have Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Savion Williams, and Dontayvion Wicks healthy in the wide receiver room. Christian Watson is doing well in his recovery from a torn ACL as well. More than likely, the team won't be carrying all of those wide receivers into the 2025 season, but they have an incredibly talented and young group for Love to work with. Add in Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave at tight end and it gets more interesting. Green Bay has put together a roster that should make them a serious contender in the NFC once again. If Love can take the next step and play at an MVP level all season long, the Packers will have a shot to win another Super Bowl. For more Green Bay Packers and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.

Longtime Denver Bar Is Closing After Close to 30 Years
A major Denver nightlife fixture will close in July after almost three decades in operation. The Giggling Grizzly, located at 1320 20th St in downtown Denver, announced last Thursday that it will shut down next month. According to a social media post from ownership, the building that houses the popular bar has been purchased by new developers. "As many of you know, some local developers bought the building that the Giggling Grizzly has been doing business in for nearly 30 years," the note reads. "We came out here all those years ago to expand our hospitality properties to the Rocky's, but what we found was family and friends. We have had sooo many ups, and sadly, some pretty sad downs, but we have loved every minute of it. We are so grateful to all of our Managers, Team Members, Vendors, our Hospitality Family on the block and You…our Guests!!!" The Giggling Grizzly officially has four weeks of business left. The bar's final day will be Sunday, July 6. "We will have one last 4th of July weekend with the Rockies and fireworks, and many days in between to come say Hi to all of our awesome team, and goodbye to a place that we hope has brought you many smiles, laughs, and maybe even a headache the next day:). Cheers to you all and we appreciate and love you!!" said ownership's post. According to KDVR, Monfort Companies purchased the building that houses the Giggling Grizzly, along with the neighboring jazz club El Chapultepec, in 2022. Earlier this year, the developer's renovation plans were approved, and they plan on beginning construction this summer. Until then, Giggling Grizzly fans can sneak in a few more rounds from the bar's dozen-plus taps and even more bottle options, and/or gobble down some pub staples.
