Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog on mend from knee surgery, set to miss 2nd straight season

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 10:45:00 GMT

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog sees a much clearer path back to the ice even if he’s not expected to play this season.That’s how encouraged he is 4 1/2 months removed from cartilage replacement surgery on his right knee. Coach Jared Bednar is just as optimistic, which is why he won’t name a new captain for the upcoming season. The team will wait until Landeskog’s return and in the meantime rely on the leadership of Cale Makar, Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen.“First and foremost, I feel really good,” Landeskog said Wednesday on the eve of training camp. “It’s been a really good process so far. It’s been obviously hard at times and other times you make more progress than not.” Still, with hockey starting up, it’s been a little difficult. He’s yet to start skating, and may not get clearance until a visit with his surgeon in November. “It sucks not being a part of it,” Landeskog said. “But I think having...

Bears defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigns, says he has to take care of his health and family

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 10:45:00 GMT

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears’ season took an unexpected turn Wednesday when defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned for what he said were personal reasons.“I am taking a step back to take care of my health and my family,” he said in a statement. “I appreciate the opportunity to work with the Chicago Bears, a storied NFL franchise with a rich history.”Williams’ resignation was part of a wild day at Halas Hall, with quarterback Justin Fields indicating he is being given too much information by the coaching staff and thinking too much as a result rather than trusting his instincts. Fields said later in the locker room that his quotes were taken out of context and that he is not blaming the coaches.Williams’ departure comes just two games into his second season with the Bears. He missed last week’s loss at Tampa Bay after working the opener against Green Bay.Chicago-based attorney Andrew M. Stroth insisted Williams resigned for health and famil...

CHICAGO (AP) — Rookie Alexander Canario hit a grand slam for his first major league home run in an eight-run eighth inning, and the Chicago Cubs ended a five-game losing streak with a 14-1 rout of the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night.Cody Bellinger hit a three-run homer later in the eighth for the Cubs, who are a half-game ahead of Miami for the final NL wild card, with Cincinnati one game behind Chicago.“It was just nice to take a breath,” Cubs manager David Ross said. “You had to feel good, all the way around. Just relentless all night and we piled it on at the end.”Canario, a 23-year-old who debuted on Sept. 6, had five RBIs. He hit an RBI double in the sixth for his first big league hit and drove a hanging slider from into the left-field bleachers for a 10-1 lead against Kyle Nicolas.

Vikings get RB Cam Akers in trade with Rams, after run-deficient start

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 10:45:00 GMT

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The run-deficient Minnesota Vikings acquired running back Cam Akers in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday after the fourth-year player fell out of favor with the coaching staff and behind Kyren Williams on the depth chart.The Vikings sent a 2026 conditional sixth-round draft pick to the Rams for Akers and a 2026 conditional seventh-round pick in the deal, which was pending Akers passing a physical.Akers, who was the 52nd overall pick in the 2020 draft out of Florida State, tore his Achilles tendon during the 2021 preseason but recovered quickly enough to contribute in the playoffs during the Rams’ run to a Super Bowl title. Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell, offensive coordinator Wes Phillips and quarterbacks coach Chris O’Hara were Rams assistants during Akers’ first two years there.Last season, Akers started slowly and clashed enough with the coaches that he was sent away from the team at midseason while the Rams tried to trade h...

BRIGHTON, Colorado – Dos agentes de policía del área de Denver ignoraron las súplicas de Elijah McClain de que no podía respirar cuando sujetaron al hombre negro por el cuello antes de que le inyectaran un potente sedante y muriera, dijeron los fiscales el miércoles.Así comenzó el juicio sobre una confrontación de 2019 que se convirtió en un grito de guerra para las protestas y estimuló la reforma policial.En los argumentos iniciales del primero de varios juicios derivados de la muerte de McClain, los abogados de ambas partes pintaron imágenes contrastantes de la lucha mortal después de que la policía lo detuviera en Aurora.Los oficiales Randy Roedema y Jason Rosenblatt se acercaron a McClain, un masajista de 23 años, mientras caminaba a casa desde una tienda, llevando solo una bolsa de plástico con tres latas de té helado y su teléfono. Una persona que llamó al 911 lo había denunciado como sospechoso.Si los fiscales pueden convencer al jurado de que la detención fue injustifi...

Protests lined both sides of Ontario Street on Wednesday morning as a series of anti-2SLGBTQIA+ rallies coined the “1 Million March 4 Children” took to the streets of various cities in Canada. In Kingston, despite protesters driving into the city to join, the “Million March” crowd was dwarfed nearly 2 to 1 by the pro-2SLGBTQIA+ crowd across the street who assembled for a counter protest. Police were present on both sides of the street to ensure protests remained peaceful, with roughly 500 people in attendance at the height of the rallies.The Million March 4 Children website describes themselves as a union of diverse backgrounds and faiths who advocate for the elimination of the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity curriculum, pronouns, gender ideology and mixed bathrooms in schools.On its website, the group takes issue with Bill C-16, the outlawing of conversion therapy, and asserts that gender dysphoria is “by-and-large transitory”.While the gr...
