Richardson’s season-ending injury changed the first-half equation for the resilient Colts

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:13:20 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts were supposed to measure this season’s success by Anthony Richardson’s development.Instead, the rookie quarterback’s season-ending right shoulder injury changed the equation.First-time coach Shane Steichen has dealt deftly with a series of unforeseen twists and turns, the most notable being the loss of Richardson in Week 5, to put the Colts within one win of a .500 record and on the cusp of the playoff mix at the halfway mark.“In this league, there are waves up and down,” Steichen said when the Colts snapped a three-game losing streak with Sunday’s 27-13 victory at Carolina. “That’s part of this league. Being consistent is the big process. We’ve got to be consistent week in and week out in all three phases.”So far, the Colts (4-5) have been riding those waves through troubled waters.While Richardson, the No. 4 overall draft pick in April, showed tremendous promise in his four starts, injuries allowed him to finish on...

Sputtering Bills resemble pretenders more than contenders at the midpoint of the season

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:13:20 GMT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The assurances everyone keeps hearing from Bills players and management about how things will get better in Buffalo simply aren’t sticking.What was blamed as being a jet lag-related blip following a 25-20 loss to Jacksonville in London a month ago has grown into a full-blown crisis. Having lost three of five, the three-time defending AFC East champion Bills (5-4) resemble pretenders more than contenders at the midpoint of the season, when they’ve slipped out of the playoff picture.And there are few indications things will get easier based on a schedule that still features games against Philadelphia (8-1), Kansas City (7-2), Dallas (5-3) and a season-ending finale at Miami (6-3).The sense of urgency was evident in quarterback Josh Allen’s comments following a 24-18 loss at Cincinnati on Sunday night, when he projected it might take 10 or 11 wins to make the playoffs.“The math’s there. It’s not pretty. It’s not going to be easy,” Allen said. “But if the...

Ethics agency says Delaware officials improperly paid employees to care for seized farm animals

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:13:20 GMT

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Delaware’s government ethics agency has determined that the state agriculture secretary and one of his top deputies violated state law by entering into no-bid agreements with Department of Agriculture employees to care for farm animals seized by animal welfare officials.The Public Integrity Commission ruled Monday that Agriculture Secretary Michael Scuse improperly agreed to pay one of his employees more than $90,000 as part of a no-bid agreement to take care of a flock of poultry after almost 500 birds were seized in May.The commission said the arrangement violated a law that prohibits any state employee from assisting a private enterprise in any matter involving that employee’s state agency. The commission said Scuse also violated a law requiring state employees to conduct themselves in a way that does not raise suspicion that they are violating the public trust or engaging in conduct that reflects unfavorably on state government.The commission also found that J...

Nice in November

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:13:20 GMT

A fine weather pattern is in progress, south Florida. At the heart of this is a sprawling area of high pressure. The high expands across the Gulf of Mexico, Florida Peninsula, and western Atlantic. That’s about 1,500 miles from west to east! It’s creating stable weather (including favorable, sinking air) which means quiet conditions across the region. On Monday, the high prompted winds from the north with lots of sunshine. Mostly dry times will continue, although there’s a tiny rain chance (around 10%). The reason is simple, as winds become onshore, they could carry a stray shower from the ocean. Beach locations, mainly, could encounter a brief sprinkle or two. You’ve probably noticed how comfortable it is. Humidity readings have fallen recently, around the high pressure dome. As we get deeper into the week, more muggy air will return (so enjoy it now). Warmer temperatures will also make a comeback. Nights will warm into the middle 70’s by We...

Italy announces deal to build migrant centers in Albania

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:13:20 GMT

Italy will build two migrant centers in northwest Albania to house migrants rescued at sea by Italian boats but not those who have made it to shore, the prime ministers of the two countries announced on Monday. “Mass illegal immigration is a phenomenon no EU member state can handle alone,” said Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at a joint news conference in Rome with her Albanian counterpart, Edi Rama. Meloni, who heads the right-wing, nationalist Brothers of Italy party, came to power in 2022 promising to curb immigration but year-on-year, arrivals have nearly doubled. Brothers of Italy has long promised to crack down on undocumented migrants, including by building processing facilities outside the EU. Despite Meloni’s election promise to stop boat crossings from North Africa, more than 145,000 people have arrived in Italy by sea so far in 2023, compared to around 88,000 in the same period in 2022. Prior to becoming prime minister, Meloni said Italy should “repatriate migrants ...
