Denver Post Broncos writer Parker Gabriel posts his Broncos Mailbag periodically during the season. Click here to submit a question.Hey Parker! Tim Patrick getting hurt again is terrible, but the silver lining is that it opens up a potential opportunity for one of the other guys on the squad. How much do you think Marvin Mims will contribute for us this year?— Matthew K., DenverHey Matthew, thanks for writing in and getting this thing started this week. I appreciate your optimistic disposition, but if you’re the Broncos, there’s nothing good about Tim Patrick getting hurt. And it’s totally brutal if you’re Tim Patrick. I do see where you’re going with the question, though, and injury does lead to opportunity in the NFL.Mims is one of the guys who could be counted on more with Patrick out. One of the interesting things about Mims will be how quickly he finds a role and what coach Sean Payton, receivers coach Keary Colbert and company think it is. Particularly, where does he pla...

Opinion: American education and the great White lies

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 10:57:01 GMT

Recent battles over how to teach history in American schools have focused on views of America’s domestic racism, but that’s only one piece of the problem of how we view history. Our pre-college curriculums and popular histories are filled with stories of great White men who single-handedly changed the world. This heroification, however, is often as much a made-up history as the stories of Marvel heroes in the movies. Many of these supposed ground-breakers were in fact preceded by generations of people including persons from other cultures and nations.We’re taught that one man, James Watt, an 18th-century Scot, is responsible for steam power — but steam power was being used 2,000 years earlier in Egypt. American Thomas Edison “invented” the light bulb a century after it was in development by inventors such as Alexander Lodygin from Tambov Governorate of the Russian Empire, Italian Alessandro Cruto and the African-American inventor Lewis Howard Latimer, whose filament patents al...
