Ja Morant in limbo again as he awaits review of latest gun video on social media

Published Sat, 16 Nov 2024 01:15:19 GMT

Ja Morant still had his endorsement deals Monday. While his latest gun video on social media is costing him plenty in public relations currency, he hasn’t lost any money.Any, or all, of that could change any day. Once again, Morant is in limbo — awaiting the outcome of yet another NBA investigation into what could end up becoming a cataclysmic off-court decision.“This is going to be a hot question,” Syracuse professor of sport management Rick Burton said Monday. “I don’t think they can hit pause on this. I think that there will be too much demand for, ‘What are you going to do?’”The NBA already suspended the two-time All-Star guard eight games in March for livestreaming himself holding an apparent handgun in Colorado. That cost him about $669,000 in salary. How Morant’s sponsors react to him being caught on social media apparently holding a weapon for the second time in less than three months is another issue. Morant has endorsement deals with Nike and the sports drink Powerad...

¿”El crimen del siglo”? Fiscal concluye pesquisa de cuatro años sobre el FBI y campaña de Donald Trump

Published Sat, 16 Nov 2024 01:15:19 GMT

WASHINGTON — Un fiscal especial concluyó su investigación de cuatro años sobre el posible mal manejo del FBI en su indagación a presuntos vínculos entre la campaña de Donald Trump en 2016 y el gobierno ruso, lanzando duras críticas a la agencia de seguridad pero muy lejos de las predicciones del expresidente de que se destaparía “el crimen del siglo”.El reporte el lunes del fiscal especial John Durham es la conclusión largamente esperada de una averiguación que según Trump y sus aliados iba a exponer una ilegalidad masiva por parte de las agencias policiales y de inteligencia. En lugar de ello, la investigación de Durham arrojó resultados decepcionantes. Los fiscales lograron que un empleado del FBI poco conocido se declarara culpable, pero perdieron los únicos dos casos penales que pudieron llevar a juicio.El informe de aproximadamente 300 páginas cataloga lo que Durham considera que fueron una serie de pasos en falso del FBI y el Departamento de Justicia cuando los investigadores ...

El fiscal especial John Durham concluye que el FBI nunca debió abrir una investigación sobre Trump y Rusia

Published Sat, 16 Nov 2024 01:15:19 GMT

(CNN) — El fiscal especial John Durham concluyó que el FBI nunca debió abrir una investigación completa sobre las conexiones entre la campaña de Donald Trump y Rusia durante las elecciones de 2016, según el informe que preparó durante tres años el funcionario, designado por la administración de Trump, y que se dio a conocer este lunes.El informe de más de 300 páginas de Durham también afirma que el FBI utilizó “inteligencia en bruto, sin analizar y sin corroborar”, para abrir la investigación “Crossfire Hurricane” sobre Trump y Rusia, pero utilizó un estándar diferente al sopesar las preocupaciones sobre la supuesta interferencia electoral con respecto a la campaña de Hillary Clinton.Trump demanda a Hillary Clinton y al Comité Nacional Demócrata alegando conspiración para vincular su campaña con RusiaSin embargo, el fiscal especial no recomendó ningún cargo adicional contra individuos o “cambios a gran escala” sobre cómo el FBI maneja las in...

7 Investigates: Protect Your Pet

Published Sat, 16 Nov 2024 01:15:19 GMT

Like humans, dogs should be buckled up when riding in a car.  But, 7 Investigates found some products designed for pet protection may actually do more harm than good.    A frightening scene as a dog jumps from a moving car onto a busy highway in California, dodging a tractor trailer.  The dog survived. But the video shows how important it is to restrain your pet in the car.  “Those events are fully preventable,” Lindsey Wolko, a pet safety researcher and advocate, said.Wolko founded the Center for Pet Safety after surviving a car crash with her dog Maggie. She learned pet safety products aren’t regulated- and there’s no government oversight for things like carriers, harnesses, and seats.“In the eyes of the government, pets are considered no different than a piece of luggage. They’re property,” Wolko said.The non-profit tests products designed to keep dogs safe in moving cars. &...

Shohei Ohtani blasts 456-foot homer, reaches base 5 times and earns win as Angels beat Orioles, 9-5

Published Sat, 16 Nov 2024 01:15:19 GMT

The Orioles were in a much different place the only other time they faced Shohei Ohtani.It was Aug. 25, 2021, and the Orioles, in the midst of a 110-loss season, had lost 19 straight games — the most by an MLB team since 2005. They were facing Ohtani, the two-way wonder in the midst of his American League Most Valuable Player campaign, and it seemed inevitable that their streak would reach 20.Baltimore is now a near-180 from that team. Entering the week with the second-best record in the major leagues, the organization is on the other side of the rebuild that caused those dark days in 2021 and before.But, ironically, these Orioles couldn’t do what those Orioles somehow did — complete a comeback against the Angels’ bullpen after Ohtani exited the game. Ohtani the pitcher tossed seven innings for the win, while Ohtani the hitter was a double away from his second cycle and blasted a three-run home run off Grayson Rodriguez to hand the Orioles a 9-5 loss.“M...

As Chicago Cubs reliever Brad Boxberger goes on the IL, a largely unproven bullpen continues to be tested

Published Sat, 16 Nov 2024 01:15:19 GMT

The Chicago Cubs bullpen the last two years was built around proven veterans for high-leverage, late-inning spots.Craig Kimbrel and David Robertson allowed manager David Ross to work in reverse when deploying his relievers in 2021 and 2022 — at least in the first half of both seasons until the Cubs traded away their top relievers. They haven’t been able to utilize the bullpen in the same way to start this season. Michael Fulmer and Brad Boxberger haven’t been the shutdown arms Ross can reliably count on in key spots.And now Boxberger is sidelined, landing on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right forearm strain. Boxberger will rest his arm for a couple of days, and if it isn’t feeling better, he will head to Chicago for further examination. The seriousness of Boxberger’s injury won’t be known until later this week, though forearm strains can lead to Tommy John surgery.“He’s had such a long, good career, pitching with seventh-innin...

Late Sunday night, the Red Sox quietly designated Ryan Brasier for assignment.It’s a move many fans were eager to celebrate, but on Monday afternoon, manager Alex Cora took time to issue a reminder of how much Brasier contributed to the team’s last two postseason runs.“I know a lot of people are crushing him and all that, a lot of people wanted to get rid of this guy,” the manager said, “We stayed with him all the way to the end. It just didn’t work out, but the kid is Class A… He didn’t work out, but ‘Brase’ is really good. He’s really good. I know he struggled the last few years. He got hit hard, but every day, he showed up to work and tried to get better, and I’m very proud of him… A lot of people have been hard on him, very hard. And it hasn’t been easy.”Cora also recalled his first impressions of the reliever, who joined the Red Sox on a minor league deal in 2018 after not pitching in the ...
