Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:19:26 GMT

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — There was one player that general manager Ryan Poles wanted to compliment during his training camp opening news conference this week.It makes sense that it's someone who is at the position he used to play."The offseason, he busted his butt," said Poles of rookie offensive tackle Darnell Wright. "He lost weight, he lost body fat, he absolutely crushed the conditioning test, like didn't break a sweat."On Friday, the first round pick shed a little bit of light as to why he came into camp in incredible shape - and it happened by accident."I was looking at the wide receivers running portion of the workout. So I was doing thiers," said Wright when told about Poles' comments, who said he dropped around 16 pounds in training. "So then I came back and, obviously, we have different stuff."So what would change about a receiver's conditioning drills compared to that of an offensive lineman?"More distance and lower time, basically," said Wright in response.That's not necessar...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:19:26 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Zilker Park Vision Plan has become a hot button topic in Austin.According to the City of Austin's website, the park needs some upgrades.The site said Zilker is in crisis and facing increased ecological degradation, accessibility issues and damage from overuse in certain areas. The Vision Plan looks to address those issues with new parking garages, new pedestrian and bicycle bridges and even an amphitheater, but not all the proposed changes have been welcomed."I have some serious problems with that plan," said city Mayor Kirk Watson.Watson said the park needs to improve on its accessibility, but he's not in favor of the three proposed parking garages."I think we can address the parking issues in ways other than putting a parking garage in one of our crown jewels, or three parking garages," said Watson. "We could get parking nearby, we could get a tram service."Another controversial proposed addition is the amphitheater.The great lawn is a place many people like to...

Russell Wilson at fighting weight might just be a good sign for the Broncos: “He definitely still has some gas in him”

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:19:26 GMT

A svelte Russell Wilson smiled at the question.You going to take off and run more this fall?“I’m trying to get moving for you,” he said slyly.The 12th-year quarterback looked capable of doing just that as he started his second training camp with the Broncos, though any grand conclusions after one day in helmets can safely be avoided, just as Wilson sidestepped a question about how much weight he cut over the offseason.“I don’t know, I’m just ready to play football. I’m not worried about the numbers on that,” he said. “I think the biggest thing for me is I feel great, feel confident in what I’m doing. Feel strong. Feel fast. Really worked on everything.”A nine-time Pro Bowler in Seattle, Wilson regressed across the board in Denver. He threw a career-low 16 touchdowns on just 60.5% completions. The Broncos lost 11 of the 15 games he started. He dealt with three different injuries over the course of the season.“Last year is last year,” Wilson said. “It wasn’t anything that I ever wante...

Alito says Congress lacks power to impose ethics code on SCOTUS

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:19:26 GMT

By Mark Sherman | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Justice Samuel Alito says Congress lacks the power to impose a code of ethics on the Supreme Court, making him the first member of the court to take a public stand against proposals in Congress to toughen ethics rules for justices in response to increased scrutiny of their activities beyond the bench.“I know this is a controversial view, but I’m willing to say it. No provision in the Constitution gives them the authority to regulate the Supreme Court—period,” Alito said in an interview he gave to the Wall Street Journal opinion pages. An account of the interview, which the paper said took place in New York in early July, was published Friday.Democrats last week pushed Supreme Court ethics legislation through a Senate committee, though the bill’s prospects in the full Senate are dim.All federal judges other than the justices already adhere to an ethics code that was developed by the federal judiciary. But the Supr...

SF Giants pitching prospect shut down with elbow soreness

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:19:26 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The phrase elbow soreness is one of the most ominous combinations of words a pitcher can hear.The Giants will learn Saturday what comes of the diagnosis given to 25-year-old right-hander Keaton Winn, who was scratched from his start Friday at Triple-A Sacramento with — yup — a sore right elbow. That is when Winn will meet with team specialist Dr. Ken Akizuki.Winn developed soreness in his throwing elbow after his last start, the Giants said.It is of particular concern given that Winn underwent Tommy John surgery — the notorious elbow reconstruction operation — less than three years ago. It knocked him out for the entire 2021 season. Since returning, Winn rocketed through the minor-league system to become a contributor at the major-league level this season.Winn has pitched well in those opportunities, holding a 4.09 ERA in five games (two starts) with San Francisco. He was considered a candidate to start more games down the stretch — rotation depth along with other yo...

By Seth Borenstein, Camille Fassett and Michael Goldberg | Associated PressROLLING FORK, Miss. (AP) — Many were not just killed at home. They were killed by their homes.Angela Eason had visited Brenda Odoms’ tidy mobile home before.
