Report of Russian soldiers turning on their colonel and killing him

May we see more of this sort of mutiny, what some refer to as "fragging?" The Russian troops are surely demoralized and disillusioned over their military failures and humiliation in a completely senseless war.

Denver Broncos' home stadium catches fire

This team will be under new ownership through a fire sale, apparently!





Empower Field at Mile High Stadium -- the home of the Denver Broncos -- caught on fire on Thursday ... and images from the scene are alarming.

No word on what caused the blaze ... but Denver Fire says suite and third-level areas of the stadium seats underneath John Lynch's spot on the Ring of Fame were affected.

Several sections of the stadium were destroyed ... but luckily, DFD says the fire has since been put out, thanks to sprinklers and brave firefighters.

Huge clouds of smoke are filling the Denver skyline ... with several witnesses posting their views of the fire.

Dolphins acquire WR Tyreek Hill from Chiefs

Never saw this one coming. Mahomes' favorite target gone. But KC signed JuJu Smith-Schuster recently so they must figure he can make up for much of this loss.

Is the concept of a high school valedictorian outdated?

Some Colorado schools are doing away with the tradition of selecting a high school valedictorian. Do you think it's a progressive move or is it unreasonable?


ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. — Cherry Creek Schools is the latest district to get rid of the of valedictorian designation.

In a letter sent to parents on March 9, the district said in part, "The practices of class rank and Valedictorian status are outdated and inconsistent with what we know and believe." The letter goes on to explain that beginning with the graduating class of 2026, the designation of valedictorian will no longer be used.

The valedictorian title is traditionally given to the student with the highest academic standing among their graduating class.

The district said it's decision was multi-factored, citing inconsistencies among valedictorians across its schools, unnecessary pressure and waning significance in the college admissions process.

The announcement prompted mixed feedback from parents.
