Frank Clark and the “hard-headed dudes” in Broncos’ OLB room are confident, ready for Week 1

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:04:51 GMT

Frank Clark, hype man, was minutes into describing why he’s so confident in his fellow Broncos outside linebackers when he put his finger right on the group’s pulse.“As a room, we’re just trying to figure it out collectively,” Clark told The Post. “We don’t have all the answers; we’re not perfect. We got some hard-headed dudes in that room. But at the end of the day we’re just trying to play the best football we can.”Clark, the ninth-year pro, owns perhaps the hardest head and hardest edge in a meeting room of hard-headed edges. Say that five times fast.But sitting at his locker as one reporter turned into a swarm Thursday afternoon following Denver’s long, sun-scorched practice, he beamed about everything from the fact that Week 1 is finally here to the work Jonathon Cooper and Nik Bonitto have done this offseason. And Randy Gregory, for that matter. And undrafted rookie Thomas Incoom — “shoutout to him. He made his first 53-man roster,” Clark said proudly. And Ba...

Company pulls spicy One Chip Challenge from shelves after teen's death

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:04:51 GMT

The maker of an extremely spicy tortilla chip sold as the One Chip Challenge and popularized as a dare on social media is pulling the product after the family of a Massachusetts teenager blamed the stunt for his death.The cause of Harris Wolobah's death last Friday hasn't been determined and an autopsy was still pending as of Thursday, but the 14-year-old's family blames the challenge. Since his death, the Texas-based manufacturer, Paqui, has asked retailers to stop selling the individually wrapped chips — a step 7-Eleven has already taken.The One Chip Challenge chip sells for about $10 and comes wrapped in a sealed foil pouch that is enclosed in a coffin-shaped cardboard box. The package warns that the chip is made for the “vengeful pleasure of intense heat and pain,” is intended for adults and should be kept out of reach of children.Paqui, a subsidiary of The Hershey Company, said in a statement posted on its website Thursday that it was “deeply saddened by the death” of Wolobah.“...

Schiff leads Porter, Lee — and Steve Garvey — in race to succeed Feinstein in U.S. Senate, but many undecided

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:04:51 GMT

The latest poll in the race to succeed Dianne Feinstein in the U.S. Senate gave a boost Thursday to Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, putting him ahead of fellow Southern California Democrat Rep. Katie Porter and double digits in front of Oakland Rep. Barbara Lee, who’s struggling to get voters’ attention.But Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll director Mark Di Camillo said the race remains a “wide-open affair.”“About a third of voters remain undecided,” Di Camillo said. “That’s a lot of voters. Voters by and large haven’t tuned into the Senate race. So there are opportunities out there for Lee and even Republicans to increase their name recognition, but it’s also very expensive to do in California.”The poll found 20% support for Schiff, 17% for Porter and 7% for Lee, the same as for leading Republican James Bradley and former baseball star Steve Garvey, a political novice who some Republicans are encouraging t...
