Is Peyton Watson’s coming out party enough for rookie to crack Nuggets’ postseason plans?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:18:27 GMT

Steph Curry had Jamal Murray in his hip pocket, beat by a step as he elevated to lay in a finger roll with 2 minutes, 35 seconds to go Sunday night in Denver.The Nuggets had a small lineup on the floor and once Curry got into the lane, he saw essentially nothing but the orange rim and an easy bucket in front of him.Peyton Watson had other ideas. He dropped down from the top of the key, timed his leap and spiked the ball off the backboard, blocking Curry’s shot for the third and most emphatic time in Denver’s’ 112-110 victory over the Warriors.The rejection, like Watson’s coming out party over Denver’s past two games, arrived loudly and out of nowhere.And it comes with an additional question attached: Is the rookie playing his way from developmental project into a postseason role for coach Michael Malone?“It’s to be decided,” Watson said after he scored eight points, blocked three shots and pulled down five rebounds in 20 minutes, 27 seconds of work against the Warriors. “But I have ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:18:27 GMT

People have a fascination with penises. We draw them, make jokes about them, and we talk about dicks — a lot! Thus, in case you’re not saturated with enough penis topics, here are weird animal dicks that you can be engrossed by — because these peckers deserve to be discussed!Here are some strange animal penis facts.5 Weird Animal Dicks1. The Detachable PenisA guy losing their manhood can be a nightmare! But the Chromodoris reticulata (a type of sea slug) don’t seem to have a problem with that. Because these slugs are fortunate enough to have three penises. Once they’re done having sex, they shed one of their dicks — good thing they still have two more!2. Moby DickWhales are majestic and colossal animals with big dick energy. That said, in case you needed another reason to admire them, whales are also “overachievers” — penis-wise. For instance, blue whales (earth’s current largest-known animal), have dicks that range from eight to ten feet in length; and their penises are highly flex...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:18:27 GMT

It’s practically human nature to have sexual urges. However, when one gets too excited, it can cause injuries during sex. Even though films tend to glorify or romanticize injuries acquired from sex, throwing out your back or getting next-day abdominal cramps from taking in a penis that’s too big can — and should — be avoided. Because not only is it embarrassing to explain how you got injured to the ER doctors, it’s also definitely not great to be in pain!Read on to see if you ever had these injuries before and how you can avoid them the next time.7 Commonly-Acquired Injuries During Sex1.

Dan Wilson and his San Jose team ready to blanket Bay Area

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:18:27 GMT

Rarely glimpsed in public, the musicians’ grapevine is a wonder of efficiency, delivering timely information that can profoundly shape an artist’s life and career.Guitarist Dan Wilson’s emergence over the past decade as one of jazz’s most soulfully incisive guitarists can be traced directly to drummer Carmen Intorre Jr., who was working with the late Philadelphia guitar legend Pat Martino in 2014.Joey DeFrancesco, the Philly multi-instrumental wonder who almost singlehandedly revived the popularity of the Hammond B3 organ as a teenage phenomenon in the late 1980s, was getting ready to launch a new combo and asked Intorre if there were any guitarists he’d recommend.Intorre dropped Wilson’s name. DeFrancesco, who died last August at age 51,  dutifully checked the guitarist out on YouTube and picked up the phone. “When I got the first call I was deer hunting, just getting ready to go into the woods,” said Wilson, who lives in Akron, Ohio. “I see a number from Phoenix and thought it was...

Today, we’re headed for Antarctica, where two intrepid Oakland travelers are sharing their tales of adventure and offering travel tips, including one extremely helpful one for people who want to actually go ashore and see the penguins, and not just hear about it afterward!Wish You Were HereANTARCTICA: In January, Oakland residents Joe Schieffer and Cathy McDonald traveled to Antarctica, their seventh continent. “It is not as cold as you would expect,” Joe says. “During the Antarctica summer — the only time ships go there — the air temperature is a steady 35 degrees due to the modulating effect of the 38 degree water. But 38 degrees is still mighty cold, if you do a polar plunge.” (Joe did!) “Interesting fact: Since the water is warmer than the air, the ...
