Broncos Mailbag: How much concern is warranted after Week 1 loss to Raiders?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:25:28 GMT

Denver Post Broncos writer Parker Gabriel posts his Broncos Mailbag periodically during the offseason. Click here to submit a question.After Sunday’s game, the focus will surely be on the special team and the analysis of another 16-point outing from the offense. But what about Vance Joseph? We got only two stops out of six drives, one in large part because of a dumb decision from Jimmy Garoppolo. We couldn’t get a single sack and had only three QB hits.No three-and-outs, three drives of 10 or more plays (plus the six-play, 75-yard touchdown), unable to get a stop with over five minutes on the clock with two timeouts and the two-minute warning. Not saying there weren’t some positives (the run defense for example), but in the end this unit didn’t do enough to get the ball back to Russell Wilson, they couldn’t get key stops when needed, and didn’t make life difficult for Garoppolo, who’s not the scariest QB on the schedule. In your opinion, is ...

Lyft launches feature to let women riders choose women drivers

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:25:28 GMT

By Natalie Lung | BloombergLyft Inc. is launching a feature that will try to prioritize matches between women and non-binary riders and drivers in response to demand for increased safety protections for its users.Drivers and riders who indicate their gender preference as women or non-binary in the app, or those with a user name commonly identifiable as a woman’s name, will be given access to opt in to the feature called “Women+ Connect.” The tool will increase the chances of matching women and non binary riders with similar gender-identified drivers.Women make up only 23% of Lyft drivers, but account for nearly half of its riders, according to the company, which hopes to attract more women drivers with the new feature. Those numbers mean a preferred match isn’t guaranteed, so women riders, for example, can still be offered a male driver if no Women+ users are available nearby. Users can choose to opt out of the feature at any time.Lyft and rival Uber Technologies Inc. are being push...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:25:28 GMT

By Joel Rosenblatt and David Voreacos | BloombergA judge ordered a high-stakes family feud over the finances of US Senator Dianne Feinstein, the powerful 90-year-old California Democrat, to be moved out of court for private negotiations.Since early this summer, the fight has been playing out publicly between the families of two of San Francisco’s storied power brokers: Feinstein, who built a political dynasty over decades, and her wealthy husband Richard Blum, the co-founder of private equity firm Blum Capital Partners, who died last year and left much of his fortune to her in a marital trust.At a hearing Monday in San Francisco, retired Judge Roger T. Picquet told lawyers for both sides, “I love making decisions, don’t get me wrong.” But private mediation, he said, where the two parties work our their differences outside of court, often produces more satisfying results.“If any case deserves an honest appraisal of mediation, this case does,” he said.The dispute centers on how truste...

NEW YORK (AP) — After months of testing, TikTok is fully launching its e-commerce product in the U.S. in an effort to translate the app’s cultural relevance among young consumers to sales. The company said Tuesday its shopping wing, called TikTok Shop, will include several features such as a “Shop Tab,” a marketplace its been testing on the app since August; affiliate videos in user’s feed that allows creators to earn commissions from products; as well as a logistics arm called Fulfilled by TikTok that stores and ships products for merchants.
