Comment on NFL used to offer an escape; now it requires one

The driver of a tractor-trailer involved in a fatal six-vehicle collision on U. S. 285 last week told police he lost his brakes before the crash, according to an arrest affidavit. Ignacio Cruz Mendoza, 47, is a Mexican citizen who is in the United States illegally and who was removed from or voluntarily left the country 16 times since 2002, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said Monday. Mendoza was arrested for vehicular homicide and vehicular assault June 11 after police say he lost control of his tractor-trailer while driving southbound on U.

The offseason program is a good time for NFL players to build habits. Or, sometimes, to break them. Broncos inside linebacker Alex Singleton in recent weeks found himself occasionally still calling out to No. 47 while manning the middle of the Denver defense. Josey Jewell, though, plays in Carolina now. Thoroughly out of earshot. “You can ask Jonas and Cody and Justin and those guys I’ve taken reps with that I’ve said, ‘Hey Josey — I mean whoever it is that’s out here,’” Singleton told reporters last week. For Singleton, the goal this summer is to get to know his new running mates. For Jonas Griffith, Cody Barton and Justin Strnad, among others, the goal is to take a step toward earning that spot. Singleton, of course, will miss Jewell as a playing partner at inside linebacker and as a friend with whom he spent a huge amount of time at work and away from it.
