Kiszla vs. Gabriel: Do the Broncos need to trade Jerry Jeudy to get Marvin Mims Jr. more touches?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:28:36 GMT

Kiz: At the risk of starting a Twitter war with Jerry Jeudy, is it time for the Broncos to admit Marvin Mims Jr. is the receiver the team hoped Jeudy would be? In the comeback victory against the bad news Bears, did anybody make a bigger offensive play than Mims, whose 48-yard reception set up the game-winning field goal? So why has Mims been targeted only 11 times in four games? Do the Broncos need to trade Jeudy to give more opportunity to Mims?Glad you got to watch the game from the crib fam https://t.co/GCCypcAyRq— Jerry Jeudy⁴ (@jerryjeudy) October 1, 2023Gabriel: My Twitter fingers aren’t all that salty, but might I point out that the Broncos’ leading receiver Sunday was Jeudy (three catches for 52) and that he had receptions of 18 on Denver’s first touchdown drive and then nine and 25 on the third touchdown drive? All the same, Mims’ lack of not only targets but snaps — he’s been between 15 and 17 offensive snaps all four games — is indeed mystifying at this point. Wit...

Warriors star Steph Curry wants to play for Team USA at 2024 Olympics

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:28:36 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry has accomplished just about all that a basketball player can over the course of his career, but there’s one thing still missing on his Hall of Fame résumé. Curry has never played in the Olympics, and he’s hoping that soon could change.Speaking Monday at Warriors media day, Curry said he intends to suit up for Team USA at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.“If all things stay the same, I want to be playing,” Curry said. “Definitely want to be there, definitely want to be on the team and hopefully all things line up that way.” Curry’s comments come shortly after Kevin Durant shared his intentions to play for the U.S. at the upcoming Summer Games. LeBron James also appears to be on board and was reportedly spearheading a movement to convince some of the NBA’s top players, including Curry, to join him. Curry has won gold with Team USA in the 2010 and 2014 FIBA World Cup, but he has yet to play in the Olympics. H...
