Still breezy Thursday, future storm potential

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:09:14 GMT

7Weather – Our day started off with a lot of clouds and sunshine broke through by the end of it. That helped to boost MetroWest temperatures to the upper 40s! That northwest breeze was persistent today making it feel chillier. Some flurries fell along the coast this morning, not amounting to anything though. This afternoon, there were some light rain showers along the Cape. This is while there’s a low pressure system hanging out in the Atlantic Ocean. The counterclockwise flow continues to rotate in cloud cover and spot showers. The overall setup won’t change much tomorrow, so we’ll keep some clouds and the breeze around.Heading out the door tomorrow morning, temperatures will be in the upper 20s/near 30°. There will be a lot of clouds and a chilly breeze. Temperatures will reach the mid/upper 40s in the afternoon with a cool breeze. Sunshine tries to break through, but I think we’ll see more clouds. Friday, sun lovers it’s your day! We’ll s...

Aaron Judge praises top prospect Anthony Volpe: ‘If you’re the best player…you should be up helping the New York Yankees’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:09:14 GMT

Anthony Volpe has been the talk of Tampa.The Yankees’ top prospect came into camp riding the motivation from a reported phone call between himself and GM Brian Cashman where he was told he’s in the mix to start at shortstop for the Yankees on Opening Day.The 21-year-old is 6-for-17 (.353) with a homer, two doubles, two stolen bases and has made a series of flashy defensive plays from both shortstop and second base. The New Jersey native is in the thick of a position battle trying to fend off incumbent Isiah Kiner-Falefa and fellow prospect Oswald Peraza.However, if the opinion of the clubs’ captain holds any water, Volpe may have a leg up on the competition.“I think he’s got all the tools,” said Aaron Judge after Wednesday’s game against the Cardinals at the Yankees’ spring complex. “He checks a lot of boxes defensively, offensively. He’s got the speed… My thing has always been, if you’re the best player, it sho...

Mike Preston: Lamar Jackson has only himself to blame for breakdown in negotiations with Ravens | COMMENTARY

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:09:14 GMT

Maybe Lamar Jackson has finally figured out he needs an agent to conduct contract negotiations.The star quarterback has been negotiating on his own behalf with the Ravens but has been outmaneuvered throughout the nearly 2 1/2-year process. The team outplayed him when it applied the nonexclusive franchise tag on him Tuesday.While some have said it was risky business for the Ravens to allow Jackson an opportunity to sign with another team, I thought the decision was superb and showed that the team’s front office had thoroughly studied the landscape and his value throughout the league.The emotion over at The Castle might be a little subdued, but there surely has been some high-fiving.Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta could have used the exclusive franchise tag on Jackson, 26, which would cost about $45 million, but instead chose the nonexclusive, which is about $32.4 million.Jackson is free to start negotiations with other teams Monday and the Ravens would have five days to mat...

15-year-old boy who shot NFL’s Brian Robinson gets maximum 6-year sentence

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:09:14 GMT

A teenager who admitted to shooting Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson was sentenced Wednesday to nearly six years in juvenile detention.A judge ruled that the 15-year-old boy must remain behind bars until he turns 21, the Washington Post reported. He will then be released.The teen had also pleaded guilty to a second crime — the fatal shooting of 15-year-old Andre Robertson in D.C. in October 2022.That killing was prosecuted as involuntary manslaughter, so the case remained in juvenile court. Under D.C. law, the maximum sentence for a juvenile is detention until age 21.The teenager’s attorneys had asked for a two-year sentence, while prosecutors sought the maximum, local CBS affiliate WUSA reported.Robinson had yet to play a down for the Commanders when he was attacked in an attempted carjacking and robbery on Aug. 28, 2022. Though Robinson was shot twice in the attack, he escaped with his life, his car and his possessions.Months later, police arrested two...

Daniel Jones’ new Giants contract is ‘team-friendly’ in its structure

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:09:14 GMT

The guts of Daniel Jones’ four-year, $160 million contract extension reveals a “team-friendly” deal, in the words of multiple league sources, that boils down to a three-year, $112.5 million pact averaging $37.5 million per season.Jones gains by getting $82 million guaranteed in the first two years, which is about $11 million more than the $71.28 million he would have made on consecutive franchise tags.And thanks to the short four-year term, Jones also can get back to the negotiating table quickly before the 2026 season if he plays well, which benefits the player.However, the Giants have the ability to get out of the contract after only two seasons at a dead cap cost of just $18 million.An extra $12 million guaranteed in salary for 2025 doesn’t lock in until Year 3. It can be offset and come back to the Giants if they cut him before that.And none of the Jones’ fourth season money is guaranteed, so bailing after Year 3 would be easy.Jones’ contract ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:09:14 GMT

By DYLAN LOVAN (Associated Press)LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The U.S. Justice Department found Louisville police have engaged in a pattern of violating constitutional rights and discrimination against the Black community following an investigation prompted by the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor.Attorney General Merrick Garland made the announcement Wednesday. A Justice Department report found the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government and Louisville Metro Police Department “engage in a pattern or practice of conduct that deprives people of their rights under the Constitution and federal law.”The report said the Louisville police department “discriminates against Black people in its enforcement activities,” uses excessive force and conducts searches based on invalid warrants. It also said the department violates the rights of people engaged in protected speech, like the street protests in the city in the summer of 2020 after Taylor’s death...
