Charley Walters: Vikings’ QB future as muddled as ever with Cousins’ injury

Even before the Vikings’ Kirk Cousins tore his right Achilles’ tendon last week and was lost for the season, the team’s quarterback future for 2024 was unclear.Now it’s even more unclear.Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins (8) handles the football during the second half of an NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers, Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023, in Green Bay, Wis. Cousins was injured during the play. (AP Photo/Matt Ludtke)As for Cousins, who turns 36 next August, it might be difficult for him to pass a physical when NFL free agency opens in March. It generally takes nine months of rehabilitation to fully recover to return to high impact activity after an Achilles rupture.It’s completely unknown whether Cousins will be back with the Vikings in 2024, or try to play somewhere else, or even retire. He has made well over $200 million during his 12-season NFL career.There is reason for hope. It was 30 years ago, at age 32, that Miami Dolphins QB Dan Marino tore his Achilles in Wee...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:55 GMT

ST. CLAIR, Mo. - Brianna Coppage, a former teacher at St. Clair High School, is speaking out after several weeks after she was placed on leave and ultimately resigned over an OnlyFans account. FOX 2 first learned Coppage was placed on leave in September, reportedly to supplement her salary as a teacher. She was formerly an English teacher and cheerleading coach. In a recent FOX News digital report, Coppage revealed that she made almost $1 million from the OnlyFans account. She clarified that the account had no connection to her work responsibilities through the school district and that she invested in it exclusively during her personal time. Coppage also revealed that various financial challenges played a role in making the account. "I started it, one, to supplement my income, see what happens, and possibly make extra money," said Coppage to FOX News. "I have student loans. I was working on my third degree. I have a master's degree in education and was also working on my special-ed...

Air Force has six turnovers in loss to Army, likely squandering chance at New Year’s Six bowl and Commander-in-Chief trophy title

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:55 GMT

Air Force fell flat on its face on the big stage Saturday. And with that, the Falcons said goodbye to an undefeated season, any hopes of a bid in a New Year’s Six bowl and winning the Commander-in-Chief trophy outright.Army dominated the Falcons, 23-3, by owning the first half and capitalizing on an array of uncharacteristic Air Force mistakes. The Falcons entered the game 8-0 and ranked No. 17 in the AP poll, the team’s highest ranking when playing Army since 1985, but failed to live up to their billing in the first contest between the service academies held at Empower Field at Mile High.In a nightmare first quarter, Air Force got gashed for a 62-yard TD run by QB Bryson Daily on Army’s opening drive, lost two fumbles, was stuffed on fourth-and-1 in AFA territory, and wideout Jared Roznos dropped a deep pass that would’ve set them up in the red zone. That amounted to a 17-0 deficit.Related ArticlesCollege Sports | Kiszla: Sorry, Coach Prime. But t...

Kickin’ It with Kiz: Broncos should draft quarterback in first round, no matter how many games they win

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:55 GMT

My heart says the Broncos can make a run at the playoffs, but my brain says no. On paper, there’s a fair bit of talent on the roster. A playoff contending roster. But a culture of losing seems to have seeped into the building. The victory against Kansas City was the first time I’ve seen the Broncos play with real passion in a while.Patrick, reasonable manKiz: Every game the Broncos win for the remainder of the season reduces their chance of drafting a franchise quarterback. But regardless of whether they have the fifth or 15th pick in the first round, the Broncos need to select a quarterback, even if they decide to keep Russell Wilson another year.If the Broncos are playing a meaningful game in December I will be happy.Adam, ChicagoKiz: Well, it’s not out of the question the Broncos will head to Houston for a game on the first weekend in December with a 5-6 record. Would that qualify as a meaningful game? Yes. Would that also qualify the Broncos as a legit playoff ...

Keeler: Deion Sanders, CU Buffs hosting Jordan Seaton, America’s No. 1 OL recruit. He’s perfect. The only catch? Coach Prime needs three of him

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:55 GMT

BOULDER — Great offensive lines, the best of the beasts, can’t be portaled. It’s the one fatal flaw in The Coach Prime Plan. Maybe the only flaw, come to think of it, short of academic red tape. And the Buffs chucked that baby out the window once they jumped onto the Deion Sanders party train.“They really need,” Pat Ward told me by phone Friday morning, “to play together.”Ward knows his stuff. Now the varsity football coach at St. John’s High School near Washington, D.C., one of the Cherry Creeks of the Beltway, Ward is among the leading offensive line teachers on the East Coast, a four-year letterman at Maryland who went on to tutor a half-dozen All-Americans and a handful NFL players. He founded his Ward Line Academy in 2012 and was an assistant coach at the Under Armour All-American Game in 2013.He also was Jordan Seaton’s high school coach before the kid transferred to IMG. If you’re not familiar with Seaton, you should...
