RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Nearly 13 months have passed since Jamal Adams limped off the field with another major injury, the worst one yet during his tenure with the Seattle Seahawks that’s been defined by injuries.There were the fingers. And the shoulders. And then in the 2022 season opener, a torn quadriceps tendon that’s taken over a year to fully recover from.But Adams is back. The ball of energy is set to make his return Monday night when the Seahawks play at the New York Giants.It’s the culmination of months filled with grueling rehabilitation, questions of whether he’d return and ultimately the realization that Adams is about to be on the field again.“I don’t take days for granted,” Adams said Friday. “This injury, it didn’t just teach me more about the game of football. It taught me a lot about life, what my purpose is and just how I go about my business.”Adams said the recovery was miserable and more difficult than any of his previous injuries.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:34:20 GMT

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Julio Teheran was designated for assignment by the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday, just over a week after the two-time All-Star right-hander had returned from the injured list.The Brewers also optioned left-hander Ethan Small to Nashville while recalling left-hander Clayton Andrews and right-hander Caleb Boushley from the Triple-A farm team.Milwaukee has been calling up pitchers from the minors for its final series of the regular season while resting its likely postseason starters before the start of the playoffs. Teheran was a victim of the resulting numbers crunch.“This wasn’t something we wanted to do, but we set a priority of … kind of making sure that the pitchers we’re going to count on in the next round went into it in a good situation, and so unfortunately it was something we had to do,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.Teheran, who made two All-Star teams while pitching for the Atlanta Braves from 2011-19, had spent 2022 out of the majors before making a co...

LYON, France (AP) — New Zealand put a foot in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals after tearing apart Italy 96-17 with 14 tries in a phenomenal performance on Friday.The All Blacks had to beat the Italians to stay in contention for the knockout stage and overwhelmed them in the set-pieces and sliced them up wider out.They can clinch a quarterfinal spot in their last Pool A game against Uruguay next Thursday in the same Lyon stadium.“I didn’t see that game coming to that extent,” All Blacks coach Ian Foster said. “I’m not sure too many people did. It was a combination of us playing really well and starting well and I think we took their hope away in the first 20 minutes.”Italy has one more chance at reaching a first quarterfinal when it faces host France next Friday, also in Lyon.“They monstered us,” Italy’s New Zealand-born coach Kieran Crowley said of the All Blacks. “I think we won 33% of our scrum ball, 50% of our lineout ball.“We got beaten by a streetwise team that ha...

Boston City Council split on police intel funding

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:34:20 GMT

The Boston City Council is split on releasing $3.4 million in grant funding to the investigative arm of the city’s police department.Six of 13 councilors indicated they would vote in favor of funding the Boston Regional Intelligence Center (BRIC), but the same number cited concerns with its gang database, which the state’s attorney general is investigating for possible racial bias.“Public safety is paramount for our city,” said Councilor Michael Flaherty, who chaired a Friday committee hearing on the matter. “I know the important role BRIC plays in each and every homicide in the city of Boston. They don’t go around tooting their own horn. It’s a team effort.”Acknowledging the concerns from his colleagues, most of which came from councilors of color, and testimony from community members who said they have been unfairly targeted by the BRIC’s gang database, Flaherty urged police to purge the names of people who “shouldn’t be on there.”“I think we’re all in agreement, if there’s someon...
