Denver made an aggressive move Friday night to get back into the third round and draft Iowa cornerback Riley Moss at No. 83 overall.The Broncos were sitting outside of Day 2 altogether after trading up for Oklahoma receiver Marvin Mims at No. 63 and taking Arkansas linebacker Drew Sanders at No. 67.

The team you’re talking with is looking at and communicating off the same chart.“Now, early in the draft this year, there’s a few that were like ‘W...

Ernest Moret, a foreign rights manager for the French publishing house La Fabrique, boarded a train in Paris bound for London in early April. He was on his way to attend the London Book Fair.When Moret arrived at St. Pancras station in the United Kingdom, two plainclothes cops who apparently said they were “counter-terrorist police” proceeded to terrorize Monet. They interrogated him for six hours, asking everything from his views on pension reform to wanting him to name “anti-government” authors his company had published, according to the publisher, before proceeding to arrest him for refusing to give up the passwords to his phone and laptop. Following his arrest, Moret was released on bail, though his devices were not returned to him.The case, while certainly showcasing the United Kingdom’s terrifying anti-terror legislation, also highlights the crucial importance of taking operational security seriously when traveling — even when going on seemingly innocuous trips like a two-and-...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Stetson Bennett will get a chance to deliver for the Los Angeles Rams.Georgia’s two-time national championship-winning quarterback was selected by the Rams in the fourth round of the NFL draft on Saturday, uniting him with coach Sean McVay and fellow former Georgia signal-caller Matthew Stafford on the West Coast.The 25-year-old Bennett’s unlikely route from junior college to the pinnacle of collegiate success has been well documented, but the NFL worthiness of the quirky quarterback known as “The Mailman” has been hotly debated for years.
