Keeler: Deion Sanders, what are you thinking? Pencil Pat Shurmur won’t fix what ails CU Buffs offense, Coach Prime

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:53:32 GMT

Pat Shurmur’s offense sent Teddy Bridgewater to the hospital. There are times you wonder, honestly, if Deion Sanders, coach, spends enough time talking to Deion Sanders, father of CU’s best offensive player.Because none of this co-offensive coordinator switcheroo makes a lick of sense. Unless the point is getting embattled CU offensive line coach Bill O’Boyle, whom Coach Prime threw under the bus weeks ago, out the door with cause.But trying to get O’Boyle’s pal Sean Lewis, the only Buffs coordinator who’s held up his end of the bargain this fall, to quiet quit as well? Brother, that takes some serious stones. Or a serious lack of self-awareness. Or both.On one level, you kinda get it. When the offense hits a wall — as it did in the second half of the Stanford game and the first three quarters of the UCLA tilt — it’s time to roll the dice. Desperate times and all that.But come on, Coach Prime.Pencil Pat?When last we left Shurmur calling play...

Workers in unincorporated Boulder County will earn at least $25 per hour by 2030 under a new minimum wage ordinance approved by the Board of County Commissioners this week.The minimum wage in unincorporated Boulder County will increase to $15.69 an hour starting in January and continue increasing by 5.8% per year until 2030.

A flower vendor is facing a long and difficult recovery after he was viciously stabbed in an unprovoked attack in South Los Angeles.The victim, Juan Diaz, 65, was stabbed six times by an assailant while selling flowers near the 105 Freeway off-ramp on Oct. 31. Diaz has been selling flowers in L.A. for the last 20 years.The suspect, who is described as a young Black or Hispanic man between 15-20 years old, escaped the area after the attack, police said.Diaz said he has no idea why someone would choose to attack him like this, but said the community is becoming increasingly unsafe. He’s now unable to work and remains in great pain.“It’s been changing,” Diaz said through a Spanish translator. “It’s very crazy out there. A lot of people on drugs. All I can hope for is a fast recovery. I need to continue working despite the fear.”On Tuesday afternoon, Juan said a stranger approached him.

Were Lisa Marie Presley’s emails leaked to ‘prop up’ Sofia Coppola’s Elvis movie?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:53:32 GMT

Insiders close to the Presley family and the Elvis Presley estate are reportedly furious about the leak of the late Lisa Marie Presley’s private emails to Sofia Coppola, in which she asked the director to change how her father would be depicted in her new film, “Priscilla,” saying that the script was “shockingly vengeful and contemptuous” and would strain her already fragile relationship with her mother, Priscilla Presley.One of the Presley estate insiders, who spoke to Page Six, suggested that the timing of the leak is “deeply suspicious” — just before “Priscilla” opens wide in theaters this weekend. The insider questioned whether the email leak to Variety was done to generate controversy, which would in turn create public interest that could help the film at the box office.“These emails obviously did not come from Lisa or anyone close to her, nor the Elvis estate,” the insider told Page Six. “By making public a private em...

Warriors send rookies Podziemski, Jackson-Davis to Santa Cruz

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:53:32 GMT

OKLAHOMA CITY — Rookies Trayce Jackson-Davis and Brandin Podziemski were assigned to the G League team in Santa Cruz and didn’t travel with the Warriors for Friday’s game in Oklahoma City.Though both rookies have played well in their brief appearances with the Warriors, the decision came down to opportunity.Podziemski, 20, and Jackson-Davis, 23, are on the fringes of the rotation and wouldn’t get consistent minutes with the NBA team, coach Steve Kerr said. The two will join the Santa Cruz team for their training camp opener to keep them in action and off the bench.“A lot of great drill work, scrimmage time and with neither guy in the rotation right now, we felt like it was better time spent there,” Kerr said. “Then they’ll rejoin the team soon.”Related ArticlesGolden State Warriors | How the Warriors will approach the in-season tournament, which opens Friday vs. OKC Golden State Warriors | Draymond Gree...
