MW power ratings: UNLV on top (yes, UNLV) after wild weekend of upsets

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:45:56 GMT

Last season, the Hotline published weekly ‘Best of the West’ power ratings that considered not only Pac-12 teams but those in the Mountain West and Brigham Young. The exercise was so popular that we’re adding a MW-specific column to our array of offerings this season.Boise State and San Diego State make two. Will there be others?The Mountain West coaching carousel began spinning Sunday morning when Boise State announced the dismissal of  third-year coach Andy Avalos … with the Broncos smack in the middle of the conference championship race.San Diego State followed with news of its own on Monday morning, announcing that 65-year-old coach Brady Hoke would retire at the end of the season — a classy way for Hoke to end his career without the Aztecs having to execute a public termination.So two of the 12 schools have vacancies, and we believe there will be more.Nevada and New Mexico could make changes, as well.And there’s always a chance of one or more coaches leaving v...

With rosters and staff in place, new women’s pro hockey league ready to open training camps

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:45:56 GMT

The title of general manager doesn’t completely capture the many tasks on Danielle Marmer’s to-do list in the two months since taking over the Professional Women’s Hockey League franchise in Boston.“It’s funny you should mention that,” Marmer said with a laugh. “I just came from the carpentry shop where I was looking at what our locker stalls are going to be like, and making decisions on where we want the hooks to be, how many shelves — things I’m not an expert in.”She’s not complaining. At 29, Marmer and her fellow GMs are on the ground floor of a newly established six-team league that will feature many of the world’s top players when it begins play in January.“Like it’s pretty cool to say that I have my fingerprints on not only building the team itself, but the building of the locker room, the offices, the players’ lounge,” Marmer said.Though the teams have yet to be officially named and the schedule yet to be released, piece by piece the PWHL is coming together. Next up is Wednes...

Season-long offensive issues caught up with Jaguars in lopsided loss that raises red flags

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:45:56 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — It’s not totally fair to judge quarterback Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville’s offense off one game against arguably the best defense in the league. But it’s reasonable to look at Lawrence and the Jaguars after 10 weeks and have questions, probably even concerns.Nothing feels right.Lawrence has more turnovers (10) than touchdown passes (9) and is being sacked at a record rate. Calvin Ridley has been a non-factor way too often. Fellow receiver Zay Jones already has missed twice as many games this season than he did in his previous six years combined. And Jacksonville’s offensive line, a unit that’s been shuffled almost weekly, has opened few holes between the tackles and has Lawrence under more pressure than he’s faced at any level in his lifetime.The result: the Jaguars (6-3) rank 19th in total offense and 15th in scoring a few months after coach Doug Pederson said he believed his team was capable of averaging 30 points a game.Jacksonville is roughly e...

Viven cerca de San Diego y los migrantes pasan por sus patios traseros casi todas las noches

(CNN) — Los tres perros de Brian Silvas solían ser los primeros en alertarle de que grandes grupos de personas entraban en su propiedad del condado de San Diego. Se despertaba a cualquier hora con Whisky, Soldier y Freedom ladrando sin cesar. Ahora, el trío permanece callado la mayor parte de la noche. Aunque las multitudes de migrantes no han dejado de pasar, se convirtió en algo tan habitual que los perros ahora duermen durante la noche.“Este país se construyó sobre la inmigración. Me parece bien”, dice Silvas. “Pero no así. Esto es ridículo”.México llega a un acuerdo con Estados Unidos para deportar a migrantes de sus ciudades fronterizas mientras un alcalde advierte que su ciudad está en “un punto de quiebre”Hace dos años, Silvas compró 78 acres (31 hectáreas) de tierra en la frontera sur de California con México, a unos 120 kilómetros al este de San Diego.

Donald Trump Jr. exuberantly lauds dad’s real estate exploits as civil fraud trial shifts to defense

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:45:56 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump Jr. returned to court Monday as something of a character witness for his father’s real estate empire, waxing exuberantly about the former president’s “incredible vision” as a developer and his company’s portfolio of “great, iconic projects” at the New York civil fraud trial now threatening its future.Donald Trump’s eldest son was making an encore appearance at the Manhattan trial, this time as defense lawyers started calling their own witnesses. Trump Jr. first testified two weeks ago, in the last phase of the state’s case, which also featured testimony from his father and siblings Eric and Ivanka Trump.“I’d say it’s good to be here, your honor, but I have a feeling that the attorney general would sue me for perjury if I said that,” he joked before embarking on a detailed history of his father’s company.New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges that Donald Trump, his company and executives including his two eldest sons exaggerated his wealth ...
