Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:54:33 GMT

PHOENIX — Sean Payton’s team won’t start playing for more than five months, but the new Broncos head coach has already made a clear impact on the franchise in his boss’ eyes.“He immediately set a different tone coming into the building,” CEO Greg Penner told a small group of reporters at the league’s spring ownership meetings here Tuesday. “As a head coach probably the most important thing that you do is the staff that you hire and right away he came in and he’s built a staff that’s diverse. And I mean diverse across multiple dimensions — it’s age, you’ve got everyone from (75-year-old assistant head coach) Mike Weshtoff to (28-year-old quarterbacks coach) Davis Webb, diverse backgrounds from different coaching trees and perspectives — and that’s probably the most impressive thing.”The first football season under the Walton-Penner Family Ownership Group did not go the way anybody expected when they closed on the acquisition of the club in August.

Kehinde Wiley’s new exhibit of ‘Silence’ in SF has a LOT to say

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:54:33 GMT

Kehinde Wiley’s paintings and sculptures at San Francisco’s de Young Museum are “a direct response to the murder of George Floyd,” he explains.The works were also created against the backdrop of the Black Lives Matter movement and the COVID pandemic, which isolated Wiley at his studio in Dakar, Senegal.But for all the timeliness, the exhibit titled “An Archaeology of Silence” was also inspired by a painting created 500 years ago by German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, “The Dead Christ in the Tomb.” Holbein painted a life-size cadaver laid out horizontally, and as an art historian points out, “he spared none of death’s horror.”“As we see George Floyd slain in the streets of America,” Wiley continues, “I start thinking about not just this explosive moment that triggers the whole world into thinking about Black bodies in a different way, but I start thinking about imaging of bodies slain, historically. I start digging into pictures of the fallen Christ.”And so, near the beginning of...

Source: No more Trump grand jury action this week

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:54:33 GMT

By Michael R. Sisak | Associated PressNEW YORK — The Manhattan grand jury that has been hearing testimony about hush money paid on Donald Trump’s behalf will not take up that inquiry again this week, meaning any potential vote on an indictment won’t happen until next week at the earliest, two people familiar with the matter said Tuesday.The panel did meet on Monday, and a longtime Trump friend and potential key witness in the investigation was seen leaving the building where the grand jury has been meeting.The grand jury has been meeting regularly on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, but did not hold last Wednesday’s session and met last Thursday for other unrelated matters.Trump himself has ratcheted up anticipation that an indictment could be near by posting on his social media platform that he expected to be arrested imminently. His representatives later said that they had not received any such indication on timing from Manhattan prosecutors.The Manhattan distric...
