Brandon Staley doesn’t have much time to answer why Chargers should remain ‘All In’ on his vision

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:19:25 GMT

Brandon Staley’s self-confidence and bravado endeared himself to Los Angeles Chargers fans during his first two seasons as the team’s coach.Those qualities have also put him on the hot seat after the Chargers’ 23-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers, which dropped them to 4-6 and seemingly into free fall.Staley has been feeling pressure from the media and an impatient fan base since the Chargers blew a 27-point, first-half lead in their 31-30 playoff loss at Jacksonville last season.It ramped up when the Bolts opened this season with close losses to Miami and Tennessee and hasn’t abated.After Sunday’s game, Staley for the first time turned combative against those who have singled out his defense as a reason why this season has been a disappointment.The Chargers are ranked 31st in total defense and last against the pass. That puts them on pace for their worst defensive finish in the rankings since 2002, when they were 31st overall and last against the pass.“...

DENVER (KDVR)-- The independent Denver music venue, HQ, reopened its doors after a burst pipe forced them to shut down on Aug. 15."The grand reopening was such a positive vibe so many people came by just to say high five and we're so glad you're back and just hang out and celebrate us being back open," said co-owner Scott Happel. "It was a super, super positive experience." What to expect from the Black Friday snowstorm in Denver When the pipe burst, it caused one of the walls in the basement to buckle and quickly fill the venue with water. The 3,200-square-foot basement was eventually submerged in muddy water, which nearly made it to the first floor."We lost almost a $100,000 dollars worth of physical stuff out of the basement and then we were closed for three months, and we haven't even really started the intense repairs that we'll pay for," Happel said.Despite the setback, Happel says they are grateful for the community, which helped them raise more than $24,000 since they clos...
