Justin Herbert vs. Bo Nix: NFL Schedule Release, Former Oregon Quarterbacks Play Twice
Former Oregon Duck quarterbacks Justin Herbert and Bo Nix just are AFC West division rivals and will play each other twice a year. The dates will be released on Wednesday night for Herbert’s Los Angeles Chargers vs. Nix’s Denver Broncos… Now Oregon fans will just have to decide which team to root for in the Duck vs. Duck showdown.
Nix was selected by the Denver Broncos No. 12-overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. Former Oregon receiver Troy Franklin also joins the Broncos, or should we say, the Denver Ducks. Nix and Franklin will try to emulate the immense success and great connection they had at Oregon, which boasted the No. 2 scoring and passing offense in 2023.
Adding to the Duck fun, former Oregon linebacker Troy Dye signed with the Chargers this offseason under new head coach Jim Harbaugh.
Chargers coach Harbaugh vs. Broncos coach Sean Payton is another great storyline, as two of the most-celebrated coaches in football go head to head.
The Broncos are currently on a three-game winning streak vs. the Chargers.
Of course, both Herbert and Nix face the difficult task of competing in the same division as the Kansas City Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The reigning-Super Bowl champion Chiefs have won the divisional crown for eight-straight seasons.
Can one of the former Duck quarterbacks take down one of the greatest NFL players ever in Mahomes? Head-to-head, Mahomes has a 5-1 record against Herbert. Those heated divisional games seemingly always come down to the wire and the Chargers have struggled to win in close games.
The Broncos-Chargers rivalry dates back to 1960. All time, the Broncos lead the series 73–55–1. Yet somehow, Denver and L.A. have met only once in the playoffs, in the 2013 AFC Divisional round, the Broncos beat the Chargers 24-17.
This season, the old rivalry gets a lot more green and yellow.
HOUSTON COUNTY, Ga. (WGXA) — A woman accused of murder at Houston Lake Apartments back in March has returned to Middle Georgia after her arrest in Denver.
27-year-old Tylar Oglesby of Warner Robins is now in custody in Houston County for her alleged role in the shooting death of Diandre Oates at Houston Lake Apartments on the night of March 12.

Officers on the scene found Oates with a gunshot wound behind the 1700 building, and he was then pronounced dead by the Houston County Coroner’s Office.
The first arrest made in the case happened on March 18, with Perry Police arresting Alexander Culler on a warrant for murder surrounding Oates’ death.
Oglesby was arrested over a week later in Denver, Colo., on a warrant for a party to a crime in connection with the fatal shooting.
Oglesby has since returned to Middle Georgia from Denver, where she faces a pending murder charge at the Houston County Detention Center.

Denverites looking for a stellar cup of Joe don’t need to travel far to savor the flavor of excellent coffee.
That’s according to The World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops, a website that rates global hospitality establishments where coffee lovers can find better brew. The website recently announced its 2026 list of the best coffee shops in North America, Central America and the Caribbean and two local companies made the list.
Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters came in at No. 43, while Queen City Collective Coffee ranked No. 61. Not bad for a list that includes must-hit destinations in places like Guatemala and Costa Rica, which are known for their exports of coffee beans.
The World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops decided the ranking through a mix of nominations and voting by both the public and experts. Places were evaluated based on the quality of coffee served, barista expertise, ambiance, sustainability practices, and innovation among other criteria, according to the website.
Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters, which came on the scene in 2013, helped usher the so-called fourth wave of coffee locally, which focuses on honoring the beans’ agricultural roots and using techniques like pour-over to extract more flavor from each brew. The company started with a wholesale roastery and retail shop in Lakewood before expanding to Arvada through a merger with another company called Two Rivers, and later to Westminster. In 2022, Food and Wine magazine named Sweet Bloom’s Westminster locale the best coffee shop in Colorado.
Queen City Collective has certainly earned the popular vote among Mile High City coffee drinkers if the company’s expansion is an indication. Since opening its first retail location in 2018, in a spot shared with Novel Strand Brewing Co., Queen City has expanded to seven locations between Denver and surrounding suburbs, including Wheat Ridge and Aurora.
