Broncos DC Vance Joseph after historic, 70-20 loss to Dolphins: “Obviously, I didn’t get them ready”

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:28:51 GMT

NFL coaches won’t often acknowledge their team or unit or position was overmatched in a game.Vance Joseph did Wednesday, even if it was stating the obvious.In the Broncos defensive coordinator’s first news conference since Denver gave up 70 points to Miami on Sunday, Joseph vowed to engineer a turnaround and took the brunt of the blame for an historically poor outing.“The speed, the angles, it was obviously overwhelming for us.” Joseph said of the Dolphins’ 10-touchdown, 726-yard outing.“Obviously, it wasn’t good. When your unit plays that way, my first thought is, ‘it’s me.’ I have to do better as a coach and getting guys ready for the challenge. It was a tough day from Play 1 to play whatever we played. As a coach and as an experienced coach who knows those days happen, it’s always on me first.“I’ll fix it. Quickly. I have to.”While Chicago’s offense is nowhere near as potent as Miami’s...

Cover Story: The Meteoric Metamorphosis of La Monarca Panaderia

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:28:51 GMT

When Alfredo Livas and Ricardo Cervantes were little boys growing up in Monterrey, Mexico, they never ran into each other after school when they indulged in hot chocolate and pastries in the region’s many panaderias. It wasn’t until 20 years later that they met in California and memories of that afternoon ritual would metamorphosize into La Monarca Bakery, a chain of 12 bakeries celebrating their Mexican heritage.The pair met while studying at Stanford Business School and spent nights reminiscing about the bakeries in Monterrey. The 20-somethings noticed that the Hispanic market was a woefully underserved sleeping giant. “If you went to a Mexican neighborhood 20 years ago in L.A. or the Bay Area, there were no Starbucks or In & Out,” Livas tells L.A. Weekly, up to his elbows in conchas, cakes and orejitas in his Highland Park store. “We started comparing that to how things were in Mexico and wanted to recreate that community. We knew we wanted to do a brand that resonated with t...

As someone who attended the biggest nonsporting event this summer at the stadium, I would have thought the city would get some profit.The city of Santa Clara and the 49ers have always had disagreements but I assumed it was just logistical issues. However, I suppose other factors still directly benefited the city with the nonsporting events. For example, Taylor Swift’s two-night gig at the stadium gave Santa Clara the biggest economic boost since before the pandemic. With hotel sales and transportation, all that money went to the city, not the stadium. In the end, it realistically evens out financially.Brianna HuffmasterSan JoseSan Jose must do moreto s...

Levi’s Stadium: 49ers made commitments to FIFA for World Cup 2026 without Santa Clara’s consent

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:28:51 GMT

As Santa Clara prepares to host several matches for the 2026 World Cup, city leaders are accusing the San Francisco 49ers of going “beyond what is normal and customary” in making commitments to FIFA on the city’s behalf — without their knowledge.FIFA announced last year that the city-owned Levi’s Stadium would be one of 16 U.S. venues to host the 2026 World Cup. But planning for the event has been challenging for the city.For the past year, the city’s fought to get access to the necessary documents from the 49ers — who manage non-NFL events for the stadium and have been leading the charge to host the games. In April, Mayor Lisa Gillmor even suggested the city subpoena key documents Santa Clara had yet to obtain.But while City Manager Jovan Grogan on Tuesday evening told the Santa Clara City Council that in it’s role as the stadium authority board, the city has made progress with FIFA, he noted the recent document dump unearthed revelat...
