LOS ANGELES — Broncos right guard Quinn Meinerz was released from a Los Angeles-area hospital Monday and is returning to Denver.Head coach Sean Payton on Monday morning didn’t say much more than that, but confirmed, “Quinn will be back today. That’s really the update we have.”Meinerz reported chest tightness and shortness of breath to the Denver training staff around halftime during Sunday’s 24-7 Broncos win over the Los Angeles Chargers and was transported to a local hospital as a precaution, sources told The Post on Sunday.

Payton acknowledged similar Monday when he was answering a question about second-year guard Luke Wattenberg, who filled in ably for Meinerz in the second half Sunday.“Certai...

Letters: Denver’s archbishop is right. Marijuana is bad for Colorado.

Archbishop did his homeworkRe: “Denver Archdiocese issues a deeply flawed pastoral letter on cannabis,” Dec. 3 commentaryMost Reverend Samuel J. Aquila, archbishop of the Archdiocese of Denver, wrote a deeply researched, impeccably sourced pastoral letter expressing concerns about the well-documented risks and harms of marijuana commercialization.Although the Archdiocese of Denver includes about 600,000 Catholics, The Denver Post did not cover this thoughtful letter in its news pages. The Post decided instead to publish a one-sided rebuttal from Ricardo Baca, who runs a company that promotes the marijuana industry. Unsurprisingly, Baca downplays the risks of marijuana and side-steps well-documented harms that the archbishop notes.The archbishop’s letter accurately notes today’s marijuana products have become highly potent, with unprecedented levels of THC, the mind-alternating chemical. This, in turn, has led to well-documented increases in addiction and marijuana-induce...

Martin Revs Up at Zebulon

Martin Revs Up at Zebulon: When the world lost innovative noise-punk Alan Vega in 2016, not only did that naturally spell the end for the band Suicide, but we were also deprived of the talents of a bonafide artist. Thankfully, his partner in Suicide Martin Rev is still with us, and he’s performing at Zebulon on Tuesday. Demolition 9, in 2017, is Rev’s most recent solo album so it’ll be interesting to see what he get in L.A.But the legacy of Rev and Suicide should never be forgotten, or understated. Their synth punk approach broke boundaries (along with L.A.’s own Screamers) that have remained blissfully broken. Nowadays, punks can play any instrument that they want to. Back then. Rev hammering on his keys was shocking and they’d often clear CBGBs.DPSD and Taylor E. Burch also perform.Martin Revs Up at Zebulon: The event takes place at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, December 12 at Zebulon.                ...

It’s the same one that should have been dealt with after last season.The Open Division state championship game is broken.Can someone fix it?This is a game that should be a celebration for CIF, the Super Bowl of California high school football, the biggest game between the two best teams.Instead, it has become a sad letdown with no sign of letting up.Private schools have advantages, yes. They do across the state. But Mater Dei and St. John Bosco are not normal private school powers in football. Haven’t been for approaching a decade.They are closer to Florida’s IMG Academy than traditional private-school powers.
