Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:20:17 GMT

UPDATE: 10:46 p.m. Saturday The most notable news tonight has come out of Las Vegas, where quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. If you are a fantasy maven who was counting on Jimmy G, then you should have been looking for a replacement long before now.Giants RB Saquon Barkley is now considered doubtful for Monday night’s game against Seattle. So you shouldn’t count on him and need to procure a replacement before tomorrow’s noon kickoffs.One new injury popped up. Cleveland tight end David Njoku suffered burns in a home accident and is considered questionable for this week. Time, again, to hit the Sunday morning waiver wires for a quick replacement from a meager TE talent pool.UPDATE: 12:36 a.m. Saturday The Loop, for one, was all excited about the prospect of watching ancient Andy Dalton face the Vikings’ defense on Sunday in Carolina. Even made him our Deepest Sleeper. But alas, No. 1 draft pick Bryce Young has been cleare...

CSU Rams drop Utah Tech behind Tory Horton’s three TDs, career-high 227 receiving yards

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:20:17 GMT

FORT COLLINS — Tory Horton’s out to make his 1,131-yard season last year look like a warm-up.The Rams pulled away from Utah Tech late on Ag Day at Canvas Stadium, 41-20, using Horton’s unstoppable performance to earn back-to-back wins for the first time in head coach Jay Norvell’s tenure.Horton reeled in 10 catches for a career-high 227 yards, and his two first-quarter touchdowns gave the Rams enough early cushion on a night where they played far from perfect. Then, the senior’s third TD catch turned the game into a rout in the fourth quarter.Horton’s performance was CSU’s first 200-yard receiving game since Warren Jackson put up 214 yards at New Mexico on Oct. 11, 2019. The Rams star is on pace for a blistering 1,600-yard season, which would surely put him in the conversation for the Fred Biletnikoff Award for the nation’s top receiver, and in the mix to be the next CSU pass-catcher in the NFL.CSU got another imperfect but productive ...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:20:17 GMT

(CNN) — President Joe Biden signed into law the stopgap bill to avert a government shutdown passed by Congress just hours ahead of a critical midnight deadline when funding for federal agencies was set to run out.

SF Giants’ use youth movement to beat Dodgers, Kershaw

SAN FRANCISCO — After years of killing the Giants, Max Muncy did something in their favor Saturday night.First, Muncy made the curious choice to throw to second instead of tagging the lead runner on a ground ball from Thairo Estrada in the sixth inning. That gave the Giants runners at the corners and one out. Then, Muncy fumbled away another potential double play ball from Wilmer Flores, allowing Austin Slater to score from third.That broke a 1-1 tie and, behind five strong innings from Tristan Beck, paved the way to a 2-1 win.On a day that the Giants featured a season-high eight rookies, their rookie interim manager also reached a milestone — his first win. Kai Correa was greeted by a procession of hugs and high fives as players returned to the clubhouse, where the true celebration took place.Sean Manaea wheeled Correa in a laundry basket into the manager’s office, where the rest of the roster showered him in Lagunitas IPAs and Powerade.“The circumstances are unusual, o...
