Dan Campbell promises the Lions will stay on the hunt after their fast start

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 01:45:39 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Lions are in first place in the NFC North and playing as well as any team in the conference.That’s not a position they’ve been in for a long time.After beating the Packers 34-20 on Thursday — their third prime-time win in five games dating to last season’s finale — coach Dan Campbell was asked how his team would respond to being the hunted instead of doing the hunting.“We’re not the hunted, because we’re going to stay on the hunt,” he said. “We’ve said this since training camp — if you are hunting us, you don’t have to look for us.“We’re going to be on your front porch when you open the doors.”It’s been six years — since Week 2 of the 2017 season — since the Lions were alone in first place. That team finished 9-7 — well behind the 13-3 Minnesota Vikings — and missed the playoffs. Coach Jim Caldwell was fired after the season, and things fell apart under his successor, Matt Patricia.Now the Lions are back, but it has been decades since they’ve won a d...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 01:45:39 GMT

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Just as their running back group becomes a little healthier, the Baltimore Ravens suddenly have big concerns at wide receiver.The Ravens ruled out Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) and Rashod Bateman (hamstring) for Sunday’s game at Cleveland. That takes out two of Lamar Jackson’s top targets, although rookie receiver Zay Flowers and tight end Mark Andrews are healthy.Running back Gus Edwards, who was evaluated for a concussion after leaving last weekend’s game, has been a full participant at practice all week, and Justice Hill (foot) was a full participant Friday and is questionable for Sunday.The Ravens also ruled out cornerback Marlon Humphrey (foot) and linebackers David Ojabo (ankle/knee) and Odafe Oweh (ankle). Tackle Ronnie Stanley, who was back at practice earlier in the week following a knee injury, did not practice Friday and is doubtful.___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflSource

Court orders Subway franchise owners to pay workers nearly $1M – and to sell or close their stores

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 01:45:39 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal court ordered the owners of 14 Subway locations north of San Francisco to pay employees nearly $1 million in damages and back pay — and also to sell or shut their businesses, with any sale proceeds going to the Department of Labor. Federal investigators said franchise owners John and Jessica Meza directed children as young as 14 to operate dangerous machinery, assigned minors work hours that violated federal law, and failed to pay their employees regularly, including by issuing hundreds of bad checks and illegally keeping tips left by customers. The Labor Department also charged that the Mezas coerced employees in an attempt to prevent them from cooperating with its investigation and that an associate, Hamza Ayesh, played a role in those efforts, including threatening an employee who complained about receiving a bad check.The Mezas did not admit to threatening or coercing employees, according to Arkady Itkin, their lawyer, who added that they did admit...

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.

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...
