It’s been six months since Sean Payton took over as head coach of the Denver Broncos. And he’s wasted no time going scorched earth on the former regime.
“Everything I heard about last season, we’re doing the opposite,” Payton said.
In an interview with USA Today, the outspoken coach described everything that went wrong in the Broncos’ disappointing 2022 campaign.
“It doesn’t happen often where an NFL team or organization gets embarrassed,” Payton said. “And that happened here.

Lakers star LeBron James thanked fans for the outpouring support regarding his eldest son, Bronny James, after the USC freshman was rushed to the hospital following a cardiac arrest in practice on Monday.

Rivals in your league may mock you for reaching, but do you want to wait and end up with an average signal-caller? There are pros and cons to each approach.
Getting hit with a major league fastball hurts. That’s why pitchers do it on purpose sometimes. If you want to retaliate against a player, planting a pitch in their back or butt is going to hurt, and hurting a guy can sound like a good way to revenge. But players get hit by pitches by accident all the time, too. And those hurt just as much as intentional beanballs. Just ask Mets utilityman Jeff McNeil.
In the fourth inning of Wednesday night’s game against the Yankees, McNeil got drilled squarely in the center of his back by a 96 mph fastball from Carlos Rodón.
Check out the top news and videos from the NFL on Wednesday.
There’s plenty to love and hate about NFL training camps.
Everyone is in the best shape of their life, and every player who started the summer on the physically unable to perform list is on track to play Week 1.
There’s also plenty of optimism this time of year, and the overreactions are out of control. For example, it seems every Chiefs wide receiver is destined to be a star No. 1 target.
And don’t get me started on reporters keeping track of quarterbacks’ completion percentages and interceptions in seven-on-seven drills with players sporting shorts.
It’s no secret that Russell Wilson’s first season with the Broncos was disastrous.
His coach, Nathaniel Hackett, proved to be in way over his head in his first head coaching job, while Wilson and the offense struggled to gel and consistently put a competent product on the field.
The end result was a 5–12 record and Wilson putting up some of the worst stats of his career. In 15 games, Wilson completed a career-low 60.5% of his throws for 3,524 yards and 16 touchdowns to 11 interceptions.

Sean Payton blamed everyone but Russell Wilson for the Broncos’ failure last season
If you had two working eyes and watched primetime NFL football last season, you probably saw the trainwreck that was the 2022 Denver Broncos.
After trading for QB Russell Wilson and hiring a sentient Star Wars ChatBot former Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, the expectations for the Broncos’ offense were sky high. They saw those expectations and fell flat on their face.
Sean Payton has returned to coaching, taking over on the sidelines for the Broncos, and he’s quickly made it known that he isn’t interested in trying to make friends.
While the man Payton replaced, Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, is “out of sight, out of mind” for the Broncos, he isn’t safe from taking a body blow from Payton. During a recent interview with USA Today’s Jarrett Bell, Payton called out everyone involved in the situation with quarterback Russell Wilson, including placing blame on everyone and pointing to the “head coach.
In 2016, after collecting his first million-dollar purse in a 140-pound title defense against Hank Lundy, Terence Crawford did what many would: He bought a house, dropping $150,000 for a modest, four-bedroom home in Omaha, Neb. Seven years, several titles and many millions of dollars later and Crawford is still in Omaha, still in the same house, still, at 36, living largely the same life that turned him into (arguably) the top fighter in the world.
“I had thoughts about moving,” says Crawford, who is finishing construction of a new home in—wait for it—Omaha.
