Keeler: Why did Broncos take off? QB Russell Wilson found his inner Aaron Gordon.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:30:18 GMT

Brock Huard, as Seattle as Starbucks and the Space Needle, knows Russell Wilson better than most. And he’s seen this version before.“Russ was immensely humbled last year and is buying into the system that first elevated his career in Seattle,” the Fox Sports football analyst and longtime radio host in the Pacific Northwest told me Thursday.“Not a lot of nine-time Pro Bowlers would check their ego at the door and revert back to a system that is more about others than their own stats. He is. And it’s because he knows the only way to build back his Hall-of-Fame resume is to get back to winning games.”Amen. Scoreboard first. Me second.Need me to set up our bell cow? No problemo, coach. Need me to roll up the sleeves and grind? Got it. Need me out of the way? All good. Need me to make magic late in the game? Awesome, won’t let you down. Whatever it takes.Scoreboard first. Me second.Big Russ has always tried to sound like Aaron Gordon, even if half of it left...

Two stolen vehicle suspects were taken into custody after a nearly hour-long pursuit with L.A. police and the California Highway Patrol on Thursday night.  Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department initiated the pursuit sometime around 6 p.m. as the suspects were traveling on the eastbound 60 Freeway from Lorena Street.  LAPD pulled out of the chase while the suspects, who were being tracked from the air, were seen blacking out the vehicle’s headlights, traveling at a high rate of speed in moderate-to-heavy traffic and using the shoulder of the road to pass vehicles on several different SoCal freeways.  CHP ground units caught up to the vehicle in the area of El Monte, though the driver refused to pull over and eventually wound their way downtown.  When the highway patrol pulled back onto surface streets, the two suspects, along with a dog, got out of the truck near Olympic and Central and fled on foot.  The driver was quickly tackled and taken into custody as a...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:30:18 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- An outdoor COVID-19 testing operator will cease all virus testing operations in San Francisco after the city took enforcement actions.For months, Gentech operated out of its characteristic green tents advertising COVID-19, flu, and RSV tests. "In addition to a lack of personal protective equipment and compliance with sanitation requirements, Gentech paid members of the public $5 in cash for every test taken," the City Attorney's Office wrote.Many of the tents popped up and operated near open-air drug markets. Cash payments appeared to facilitate illicit drug sales and activity, according to city officials.San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott described the green COVID testing sites as "highly questionable." Chief Scott said, "Our officers worked with the DPH (Department of Public Health) to identify operators in violation of the city’s health order before citing them and seizing their property. Since Gentech has ceased operations, less money is being funneled...
