INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will have thumb surgery Wednesday and hopes to play again in about three weeks, a person with knowledge of the injury told The Associated Press on Tuesday.The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the team has not yet made a formal announcement.Taylor apparently was injured during Sunday’s 27-20 victory over Tampa Bay. It’s unclear when he was hurt, though, because when he slid down on the last of his 15 carries after picking up the first down, Indy (6-5) ran out the clock. Taylor finished with 91 yards and a season-high two touchdowns.After the game, coach Shane Steichen said the Colts avoided any major injuries during the game. Steichen and Indy’s players were not available Tuesday when they are typically off.It’s been a rocky season for Taylor, the 2021 NFL rushing champ who started training camp on the physically unable to perform list after undergoing offseason ankle sur...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:21:37 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Kylian Mbappé’s penalty deep into stoppage time salvaged a point for Paris Saint-Germain in a 1-1 draw with an injury-depleted but tenacious Newcastle team.Alexander Isak scored on a rebound in the 24th minute, making up for his earlier miss when he shot over the bar from close range.Miguel Almirón sent in a speculative shot from the edge of the box and PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma could only push it away to Isak’s feet for an easy finish.PSG wasted chance after chance and Newcastle seemed on course to pull off another unlikely win to follow the 4-1 victory over the same opposition last month.That was until Ousmane Dembélé flicked the ball up in the fifth minute of stoppage time and it bounced off Tino Livramento’s chest and onto his arm. Referee Szymon Marciniak gave a penalty after watching the incident on video review and Mbappé blasted the spot-kick past goalkeeper Nick Pope.Newcastle was missing 11 players to various injuries and Sandro Ton...

A night out recently turned into an unforgettable encounter for one man as a rat climbed up his leg. The rat encounter happened while David Gomez and his friends were walking on the Harborwalk in South Boston. Gomez captured part of the interaction on camera and recently spoke to 7NEWS, saying he felt the rat before he saw it. “All of a sudden, I felt something on my leg,” he said. “I turned around and I saw it was a rat climbing up.” “I showed it to my friends and they started running,” Gomez continued. Gomez couldn’t help but think his encounter with the overly-friendly rat was funny at the time.But after some thought, he said he realized he’s lucky the rodent didn’t attack him.“We realized it could have gone the wrong way,” he said. “What if that thing bit me and carried disease?”“…It’s dirty.

Just Chillin

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:21:37 GMT

Blustery and cold for the day. The sun helped a bit but the dang wind kept getting in the way of nice moments. I’ve always held the belief that the wind is the true enemy of the coldest season. Give me 30 degrees and calm conditions over 40 degrees and wind any day–including Taco Tuesday! Our high temps were close to 40 this afternoon and that was below normal by a few degrees.When you look at where our high temps normally occur, it’s usually in the 40s or 50s…22 of 30 days either have high temps in the 40s or 50s. This November has been pretty typical…The core of the cold air is with us right now (Tuesday evening) and will be with us for about another 24 hours as the cold temps extend west toward Chicago…The upshot of this cold air is that it is dry so while Wednesday is another cold day we have another mostly sunny day on tap…High temps will generally run below normal by 5-8 degrees but that wind won’t be so rude and disruptive when ...

Chancalay scored six goals in 11 games that included two braces.“Thomas performed admirably in his first season in New England and possesses both the natural attacking instincts and technical prowess to be an elite attacking talent in our lea...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:21:37 GMT

The Chicago Bulls are stuck in a hole. It’s unavoidable. And executive vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas knows it.A 5-13 record. A four-game losing streak. A star player pushing for a trade. The first five weeks of the season have quickly tanked any hopes the rebuild centered on Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vučević would finally begin to click.Karnišovas acknowledged the gravity of the situation in a brief conversation with three reporters at the team’s shootaround in Boston before Tuesday night’s game against the Celtics.“We see what everyone is seeing and are just as frustrated,” Karnišovas said. “We’re disappointed, but I’m not running from it. It’s my responsibility.”This is not the season the Bulls were expecting. That has been clear from top to bottom. The front office returned the majority of the roster with the expectation the Bulls could build off the ...
