1. The hapless Denver Broncos fire rookie coach after embarrassing 51-14 loss in Los Angeles. The Broncos entered the 2022-2023 season with lots of anticipation as a Super Bowl contender.

The University of Colorado Boulder campus had a power interruption on Thursday morning, which in turn caused significant damage after pipes froze and then burst pipes when the heat at numerous buildings on the campus was cut of from the power outage.
