Davis Webb wanted Broncos QB coach job “really, really bad.” Why? Sean Payton and, yes, Russell Wilson

Davis Webb’s offseason was headed one of two ways.Either Sean Payton would hire him as Denver’s quarterbacks coach or he was going to try to play quarterback again in 2023.Not exactly a traditional fork in the road, mind you, but Webb hoped to make the jump into coaching.“When I interviewed, I told myself, my girlfriend, my family, ‘If I don’t get this job, I’m going to start working out tomorrow,’” he said Wednesday in his first time talking with reporters since landing the job earlier this year. “This was a one-and-done deal. I wanted this job really, really bad and if I got it I was going to roll with it and if I didn’t, I was going to keep playing and be a free agent.”Webb, 28, now finds himself in charge of a room featuring Russell Wilson at the top and Jarrett Stidham in the No. 2 spot. Webb turned down Buffalo’s quarterback coaching job a year ago to play in 2022 back in New York for Giants head coach Brian Daboll, who had been Webb’s offensive coordinator in Buff...Denver Nuggets’ first NBA championship by the numbers

Southern California officials are again warning the public about antisemitic flyers and posters that have been placed in public areas and on doorsteps in several cities.Earlier this week, several plastic bags containing leaflets with antisemitic messages were left on driveways of homes throughout the city of Redlands in San Bernardino County. One resident apparently told the Greater Los Angeles Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) that it was the second times they've experienced something like that in the last several years.The San Bernardino Police Department is investigating the leaflets, and CAIR released a statement in which it loudly condemned the hateful media and called on anyone with information to come forward.“We are extremely alarmed by this disturbing show of antisemitism.

After more than two decades as America’s best-selling beer, Bud Light has slipped into second place.Modelo Especial, a Mexican lager, overtook Bud Light in U.S. retail dollar sales in the month ending June 3, according to Nielsen data analyzed by Bump Williams Consulting. Modelo controlled 8.4% of U.S. grocery, convenience and liquor store sales; Bud Light fell to 7.3%. It's a milestone in Bud Light's months-long sales decline since early April, when critics who were angered by the brewer sending a commemorative can to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney vowed to boycott the brand. Bud Light has also faced backlash from Mulvaney’s fans, who think the brand didn’t do enough to support her.Dave William, Bump Williams’ vice president of analytics and insights, said Bud Light has been the top-selling U.S. beer since 2001, and it could still retain that crown this year. He noted that Bud Light’s year-to-date market share of 9% is still outpacing Modelo’s, at 8%. And Bud Light's sales v...Long Beach man accused in 2 attempted kidnappings
