Denver Broncos’ Limitations Exposed In Blowout Loss To Detroit Lions

Image
  The 2023 Denver Broncos have been a nice story, but their limitations were vastly exposed in a national television blowout defeat to the Detroit Lions. After starting out the season 1-5, the Broncos had been the hottest team in the NFL, winners of six of their past seven games — tied for most in the league — and in prime position to clinch a playoff spot in the AFC. While those hopes remain alive even after their humbling loss to the Lions — they face three losing teams in the AFC to close out the season, the lowest strength of schedule in the NFL at .341 — much of the confidence built over the past two months evaporated following a flat-out dominating defeat at the hands of a good — but not great — Lions squad. Without a lead and a stout running game to lean on, the Broncos’ offense was lethargic, completely shut out in the first half. Russell Wilson’s limitations were on display, going just 4-of-10 for 69 yards, mustering just 3.1 yards per offensive play and going for 1-6 on third

'Ready, pronto, and full of perfume': remembering Franco Cozzo

Image
  "No other people are popular like Franco Cozzo in Melbourne" — that's how the iconic Melbourne furniture salesman described himself in a 2022 documentary. It's unclear whether the statement was meant to be serious or humorous, but Cozzo — who died this week at the age of 88 — was never afraid to laugh at himself. Cozzo's unique sense of humour is the first thing that his friend Tony Cavallaro remembered about him. "He loved to joke!" said Cavallaro, who also owns a business in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray, an area that hosted one of Cozzo's furniture showrooms. "He is going to be missed. He was the largest persona in Footscray. How many people have you heard that don't say Footscray, they say Foot-a-scray? It's sort of stuck in people's minds." In the 1980s and ’90s, Melburnians were waking up and going to bed with his do-it-yourself television commercials, which featured Cozzo's vibrant, baroque furniture accompanied

Author Hanif Kureishi on life-changing injuries: My privacy is gone

Image
  Kureishi is reportedly still unable to use his arms or legs and has spent the last year in five different hospitals. Hanif Kureishi has said his sense of self and privacy have been “completely eradicated” after a fall on Boxing Day in Rome last year. The 69-year-old British author and playwright spoke to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme as he guest edited the show on Tuesday, a year after sustaining life-changing injuries. According to the programme, Kureishi is still unable to use his arms or legs and has spent the last year in five different hospitals. Recording the show at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in London, Kureishi said he feels like an “exhibit” being surrounded by doctors who see him as “a thing”. He added: “It is humiliating at the start and then you begin to realise that it doesn’t really matter. “You realise quite quickly that your body doesn’t belong to you any more… that you are changed, washed, poked and prodded by nurses and doctors, random people all the ti
