With Washington coming off a surprising 7-9 playoff season, Stafford makes perfect sense for a team trying to capitalize on its window to compete with a young, talented core. Since entering the league in 2009, Stafford has the seventh-most passing yards, the most fourth-quarter comebacks and remains a highly productive player. Stafford’s pedigree, however, is why Washington could face a tough time in trying to trade for him. Quarterbacks like Stafford, who turns 33 in two weeks, don’t become available often.

EDITORIAL: Evolution in policing January 03, 2021 04:51PM Should police departments in Connecticut increasingly look to social workers to respond to calls for help that come to police dispatchers in situations when their training and experience might be more appropriate than those of a uniformed and armed police officer? It’s an idea well worth exploring, and the police reform bill that was passed by the General Assembly last summer calls for departments to seriously consider some way of providing less confrontational and more therapeutic policing. Ideas are already being tried here and there: in New Haven and Denver, for example. Part of the idea is that someone who’s placing a 911 call is almost automatically going to be stressed out and overwrought, and may well have mental health issues. In such cases, the arrival of a police officer may in itself be intimidating and lead to escalation. ....
