Tyson Bagent is the latest rookie to start at QB for the Bears

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:20:48 GMT

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — As many suspected this week, the Bears will have a rookie quarterback starting for them in Week 7. With Justin Fields not practicing the last three days due to a right thumb injury, Tyson Bagent will make his first career start against the Raiders on Sunday at Soldier Field at Noon. It will be the first time the starter has missed a game this season as the thumb he dislocated in the 19-13 loss didn't heal in time. It's not a surprise since head coach Matt Eberflus said at the beginning of the week that Fields was doubtful with the injury. On Friday, he said he doesn't believe the third-year quarterback is going to end up on IR.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:20:48 GMT

(The Hill) — A New York judge on Friday fined former President Trump $5,000 after a derogatory post about the judge's principal clerk was not removed from the 2024 candidate's campaign website, despite a clear order from the judge. Judge Arthur Engoron did not hold Trump in contempt of court, but warned that further violation of the gag order he imposed after Trump's Truth Social account made the post could result in serious punishment, including steeper financial penalties, contempt or even jail time."Donald Trump has received ample warning from this Court as to the possible repercussions of violating the gag order," Engoron said. "He specifically acknowledged that he understood and would abide by it." Chesebro becomes second Trump lawyer to plead guilty in Georgia "Accordingly, issuing yet another warning is no longer appropriate; this Court is way beyond the 'warning' stage," he added.The post, posted on Trump's account while he sat just feet away from the clerk, derided her as...

Dalton Risner has been biding his time on the sidelines. Now the Vikings might need him.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:20:48 GMT

When veteran offensive lineman Dalton Risner signed with the Vikings last month, it seemed like only a matter of time before he was in the starting lineup, whether that be in place of left guard Ezra Cleveland or right guard Ed Ingram.Instead, the 28-year-old Risner has been biding his time on the sidelines. After starting 62 games with the Denver Broncos earlier in his career, Risner has lived the life of a backup for the first time in his career.How has he handled that change?“Every time I have he desire to get onto the field, I ask myself, ‘What can I control?’ ” Risner said. “Then I work my (expletive) off to make sure I’m ready when I’m called upon.”That time finally came for Risner last weekend when Cleveland suffered a foot injury with the Vikings leading the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Risner raced into the huddle and played 10 snaps on offense in relief.“I was able to go out there and execute,” Risner said. ...

With a playoff berth, Portland produced five more results en route to lifting MLS Cup with a win over the Columbus Crew.“Before you know it, you are on a roll and you never know where it can lead to,” McAuley recapped his message in a later interview with reporters.MNUFC won its first game under McAuley, 5-2 over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Oct. 7.

Democrats push for redistricting redo

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:20:48 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10)-- In New York’s highest court, a legal battle could determine the state’s congressional representation yet again. Last year, the court ruled that Democrats didn’t follow the proper process in drawing districts. Ultimately court drawn maps led to Republicans gaining seats in the House of Representatives. Now, Democrats are trying to undo that, calling for a new set of lines to be drawn.Caitlin Halligan, the newest judge on that court, has recused herself from the case."She’s now been replaced by a judge from the appellate division in New York City, Judge Diane Renwick, for the purposes of this case," said Jeffrey Wice, an adjunct professor at New York Law School.He said this could have a significant impact."Not only do we have Judge Wilson, as Chief Judge of the court, but we also have another judge whose track record is that she’s been somewhat favorable to the role of the legislature. Now each case is different and she is impartial. She’s not going to pre-judg...
