Broncos stock report: RG Quinn Meinerz looks like a dominant interior offensive lineman

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 06:06:24 GMT

Stock UpRG Quinn MeinerzYou’d be hard-pressed to find somebody on either sideline who played better Sunday than Broncos right guard Quinn Meinerz. He was dominant in the run game and more than held his own in pass protection, save for one Chris Jones rush that Meinerz still managed to hang in on for long enough. The third-year man out of Wisconsin-Whitewater is turning himself into one of the best interior linemen in football. Plain and simple.RB Javonte WilliamsThe Broncos running back has been waiting for a game like this. He logged a career-high 30 touches (27 carries) for 98 yards and his first touchdown since that brutal knee injury last year. Williams looks a little healthier each week and on Sunday did exactly what Denver needed. He ran tough between the tackles, took what he could get and secured the ball. Williams got the rock on two of every three snaps he played against Kansas City. That’s a workhorse.CB Ja’Quan McMillianDenver’s tough little nickel back turned in his sec...

Matthew Perry called this movie his 'best'

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 06:06:24 GMT

Fans of the late Matthew Perry are finding solace in some of his most memorable performances, with many pointing to his comedic work on “Friends” as bringing them joy in the days after his death.Perry, 54, had always remained proud of his role in the iconic sitcom. But when it comes to his entire body of work, the actor has — on multiple occasions — singled out one film as being his “best.”Just a few seasons after “Friends” debuted, Perry appeared opposite Salma Hayek in the 1997 film “Fools Rush In.” The film starred Perry as Alex Whitman, a real-estate developer who falls for Hayek’s free-spirited photographer after a fling in Las Vegas. It wasn’t a universal hit with critics, but it’s the film Perry suggested he was most proud of.“To this day, it’s probably my best movie,” Perry wrote in his 2022 memoir “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing.” Matthew Perry’s cause of death still under investigation by county medical examiner In fact, Perry has not only suggested that “Foo...

Scream and Scream Again

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 06:06:24 GMT

Scream and Scream Again: In his 2001 book American Hardcore, author Steven Blush said of DC band Scream, “Scream was one of the most impressive outfits of the HC era. Unlike many of their contemporaries, Scream had a singer who could actually sing, and the band could actually play.”Based on their set at Zebulon on Friday night, that still holds true today. According to that same book, the band eventually dissolved because of bassist Skeeter Thompson’s drug habit. The drummer at the time, one Dave Grohl, would make his way to Seattle to join Nirvana, while the brothers Stahl (singer Pete and guitarist Franz) would form Wool. Franz would later join Grohl’s Foo Fighters for a couple of years. And now things have come full circle and Scream is back.At Zebulon, Thompson didn’t only look fit and healthy, but he was playing immaculately. It was such a treat to see him and Franz Stahl trading licks like it was ’81 again. Thompson is one of punk’s gr...

There was also the Wolfpack, the string and brass quintet of violinist Mads Tolling, cellist Alex Kelly, trumpeter Brian Switzer, trombonist Adam Theis and multi-instrumentalist Sheldon Brown.Yet, surrounding Weir and his Wolf men on three sides was the mammoth Stanford Symphony Orchestra, the ...

1 in 8 DC-area home sales are falling through

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 06:06:24 GMT

In September, roughly 12% of homes for sale in the D.C. metro that went under contract saw the sale fall through. Nationally, contracts signed to buy a home in September rose, but closed sales fell to the lowest level since the early days of the pandemic, according to Redfin.With rising mortgage rates, a top reason for canceled sales is buyer financing contingencies. The rate they originally qualified for may have gone up, lowering the loan amount they are qualified for by closing time.Buyers may be leaning on inspection contingencies more frequently as well, or discovering problems after making an offer that the seller doesn’t want to repair.For a buyer who cancels a contract, the consequences are not that great.“Back when interest rates were really low and there were multiple offers, one way buyers could get an offer accepted was to put down a lot of earnest money. But buyers don’t need to do that anymore, so when they’re walking away, they’re not walking away from their life savi...
