Two-time All-Pro and former Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore is arguably the best player left on the free agent market. While he’s no longer the elite lockdown cornerback from the late 2010’s, the 33-year-old remains one of the better starting cornerbacks in the league. Last year with the Dallas Cowboys, Gilmore started in all 17 games while recording two interceptions, 13 passes defended, 68 tackles, and a 71.2 PFF grade, the 35th-best mark out of 127 eligible players.

Breakout receiver and current Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver, Rashee Rice could be released imminently this offseason. Rice is a suspect in an alleged assault that injured a man at a Dallas nightclub, according to Dallas Morning News. It’s the latest offseason trouble for the SMU product who has been emerging as a big-time receiver for the Super Bowl champions. This comes after his arrest for involvement in a six-car crash in Dallas in March, leaving at least seven people with injuries.

A Jacksonville man who spent more than 44 years in prison is suing over his wrongful arrest. Willie Williams was convicted of attempted murder in a store robbery in 1975 and sentenced to life in prison, a crime he always insisted he did not commit. He was paroled in 2020 at age 79.

Despite the Miami Marlins’ woes up in the majors, there seems to be a bright young star prospect growing down in the minors, and his name is Noble Meyer. Meyer, 19, was drafted by the Marlins 10th overall in the 2023 draft. He is the Marlins #1 prospect and their only prospect to make the MLB’s top 100 list (no.50). His triumphs come at a perfect time, as the Marlins will soon need him up in the majors. They currently have four members of their rotation out due to injuries. Their aces, Sandy Alcántara and Eury Pérez are both out for the season with Tommy John surgery. Adding to this list are Braxton Garrett and Jesús Luzardo. They both have injuries that could see them returning by June or earlier. The Fish could need a young arm for the rotation, and Meyers’ seems to be a perfect fit.

It’s a fair question: Have people experiencing homelessness moved to Denver for a free hotel room?. At least one man did. The mother of a missing man messaged me the other day to tell me she is looking for her son. She said he moved back to Denver from Florida thinking he could get a free hotel room as part of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s House1000 plan. Of course, those rooms all are full now. Also, most people who received the rooms were in established encampments that the mayor swept. There never were any rooms for people who might move to Denver one week to be housed the next.

After leaving Seton Hall University following a prolific year in the Big East, Kadary Richmond now transfers to the Red Storm in a shocking move. While beginning his career at Syracuse University, Richmond then went on to play for the Pirates for three years. Last season he was a First Team All-Big East selection averaging 15.7 PPG, 6.5 RPG, and 4.9 APG. He was in contention for Big East Player of the Year. With being one of the best, if not the best remaining players in the transfer portal, many schools were in the running for Richmond. He visited Oklahoma over the weekend and was also heavily considering Miami, USC, and a trip back to his freshman-year roots at Syracuse. All in all, Kadary Richmond believed legendary Coach Rick Pitino can take his game to the next level in playing for the Johnnies.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Pittsburgh, PA

In 2022, Mike Easler, a member of the 1979 World Series champion Pittsburgh Pirates, contacted them about becoming their batting coach. He looked at their stats and saw they had nobody hitting above .275. (The Pirates would finish 2022 with Kevin Newman as their leader at .274, excluding a pair of minor league recalls who had a handful of at-bats.) “That’s unacceptable,” Easler told interviewer Joe Shuta. The Pirates never returned his call. “That’s their loss, not mine,” said Easler disgustedly. This story was unknown and unreported in any Pittsburgh media at the time or since.

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Anthony Edwards regularly faces comparisons to NBA legend Michael Jordan due to their similar playstyles. However, despite people comparing him to arguably the greatest basketball player in history, Edwards wants them to stop. According to Melissa Rohlin of FOX Sports, Edwards says he “can’t be compared” to the six-time NBA champion.

While the media’s attention during the Minnesota Timberwolves’ playoff run has revolved around All-Star guard Anthony Edwards, the reason that the up-and-coming Western Conference contender is running rings around the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Semifinals extends far beyond what he has to offer.

The Denver City Council learned more Wednesday about the workforce development component of the Denver Asylum Seekers Program. The city has transitioned the way it helps migrants, closing shelters and instead placing 800 people in the asylum program. That includes people who had been staying in non-congregate hotel shelters, all but one of which have closed. New migrant arrivals will not be eligible for the six-month work program until some graduate, according to a presentation by city staff. The city intends to keep 500 people in the work program at a time, according to Tony Anderson, workforce development manager for the city.

Denver aims to place migrants in minimum $20 per hour jobs

An immigrant from south of the border told the Denver City Council Monday that newcomers staying in city shelters are treated like “animals.”. Willy Bastidas addressed the council during the public comment period. Members of the dais do not respond to comments in order to give more people time to speak during the 30-minute session.

The Indiana Pacers are down 1-0 in their second-round playoff matchup with the New York Knicks after a 121-117 loss in game 1. In the game, Pacers All-Star Tyrese Haliburton scored six points on 2-for-6 shooting. Additionally, he recorded eight assists, four steals, and two rebounds in 36 minutes of play. Though he had a subpar performance by his standards, the 24-year-old is reportedly dealing with back spasms. Ahead of Game 2, head coach Rick Carlisle spoke about Haliburton’s injury, saying “it’s a concern.”
