Broncos Journal: Jonathon Cooper wants to be violent pass rusher in Year 3

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:27:18 GMT

Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph enjoys watching the unique traits that each outside linebacker displays. From veteran Frank Clark to second-year Nik Bonitto, they all bring speed, experience and aggression that Joseph is excited to use against opponents this season.Jonathon Cooper, in particular, is violent and willing to show it.Cooper is relentlessly flying off the edge and attacking the quarterback in each practice. During the team period on Thursday, he burst off the edge to sack Jarrett Stidham.Cooper, a seventh-round selection in 2021, has been a quality depth piece in Denver’s defense and special teams over the past two seasons. But in Year 3, the 25-year-old wants to be more of a game-changer and one of the most menacing players whenever he touches the field.“I approach the game with a certain type of aggression,” Cooper told The Post. “I’m always going to give my all when it comes to (going) after the quarterback. … Just being relentless and nonstop.”Cooper...

Stock market today: Wall Street’s dismal August drags on with 3rd straight losing week

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:27:18 GMT

By STAN CHOE (AP Business Writer)NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street limped to the finish line of its third losing week in a row on Friday.The S&P 500 barely budged as it ended the week with a loss of more than 2%, like other U.S. indexes. It edged down by 0.65, or less than 0.1%, to 4,369.71.The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 25.83 points, or 0.1%, to 34,500.66, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 26.16, or 0.2%, to 13,290.78.August has been rough for the stock market, which has given back more than a quarter of the S&P 500’s torrid gains for the year’s first seven months. That’s in part because a swift rise in yields has forced investors to reconsider whether stocks got too expensive, particularly after critics warned the market rose too far, too quickly. Stocks held a bit steadier Friday after yields eased a bit. After topping 4.30% a day before and nearing its highest level since 2007, the 10-year Treasury yield fell back to 4.24%.Stock markets elsewhe...

Summer softening: Colorado hiring goes on vacation in July

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:27:18 GMT

Colorado added a paltry 800 jobs between June and July, and job gains could have gone negative absent strong government hiring, mostly from schools working to get back toward pre-pandemic staffing levels, according to a monthly update from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. June job counts, initially estimated at 4,700, were revised lower by 2,900, bringing the total for the month to 1,800. Over the past year, the state has added 38,800 jobs on a seasonally-adjusted basis, equating to a 1.35% rate of job growth, one of the slowest in the country.“Given the slowdown in the U.S. labor market, it stands to reason that Colorado job growth would drop off accordingly; however, the magnitude of the decline in Colorado is surprising,” said Broomfield economist Gary Horvath. “It is frustrating to see how the Colorado labor market continues to underperform the United States.”The state’s unemployment rate ticked up from 2.8% in June to 2.9% in July, ...
