Cold front brings showers, storms in the evening

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:52:38 GMT

ST. LOUIS -- A cold front will move through this evening and into tonight. Ahead of that front, today we have mostly cloudy to overcast conditions, and temperatures should stay in the upper 70s to near 80s. Showers that have developed to our west this morning. A few showers will be possible, especially in our western and northwestern counties, later this morning into the early afternoon. Otherwise, later this afternoon and evening, storms will develop along or ahead of the front across northern Missouri and move southeast. There is an isolated threat of a strong to severe storm, but again, this is highest across northern Missouri into west central Illinois. As storms progress southeast into our viewing area, they should weaken, especially after sunset. A few showers, maybe an isolated storm or two, will linger into the overnight hours, shifting southeast. It'll be a cloudy start to Sunday, but clouds should clear west to east through the morning and into the afternoon. Highs on Sund...

Colorado Rapids fans sound off on state of club as turbulent 2023 season rolls on

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:52:38 GMT

After years of frustration, Colorado Rapids fans have reached a boiling point.Over the last two weeks, supporters have heard from club president Pádraig Smith and executive Josh Kroenke as the team has spiraled down the drain, leading to the firing of head coach Robing Fraser on Sept. 6.Smith addressed the exit of his hand-picked coach and the state of the club, while Kroenke issued a statement that talked more about real estate than it did results. The latter came on the heels of a scathing letter from Centennial 38, the largest independent supporters group of the team, calling leadership to task for the current state of the Rapids.In the wake of these developments, we’re giving Rapids readers their say. Here’s some of the emails The Post has received since the statement. One thing is abundantly clear: Many have had enough.“I am sick of the continuing excuses for a poor product on the field and being told to be patient as ‘we are rebuilding’. I am sick...

Grading The Week: No, Jay Norvell did not call Deion Sanders out to help Coach Prime sell sunglasses

05We get it, we get it. Everything is stupid now. I mean, some of the new kids from the Grading The Week staff decided to zip up to Boulder Friday morning, getting their new Nikes all muddy in the process, just to land a fleeting, up-close look at Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. (GTW insider tip: The Rock was a heck of a lot taller, and meaner-looking, than all the bodyguards who were flanking him outside the CU Events Center.)Hey, if the Buffs could land one of the hottest actors in Hollywood for 0-1 CSU … what kind of star power is comin’ to town for that showdown with Caleb Williams, Lincoln Riley and USC at Folsom Field in two weeks?

Alex Singleton and Josey Jewell, Broncos’ “Bash Brothers,” form tight-knit bond as formidable force on defense: “Those two are inseparable”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:52:38 GMT

It was a friendship that started on some high school vibes. During Alex Singleton’s first day at the Broncos facility in 2022, the inside linebacker searched for an open seat inside the defensive meeting room, and he happened to stumble across a chair near veteran inside linebacker Josey Jewell.From there, Singleton and Jewell began talking football… and other things… and even more things.Soon enough, they were showing up to a road game against the Tennessee Titans in matching denim Canadian tuxedos, golfing, sporting similar facial hair and eating the same meals. Now, they live four minutes apart on the edge of Aurora.“Those two are inseparable,” said defensive end Matt Henningsen.Inside linebacker coach Greg Manusky said Singleton and Jewell are like “Frick and Frack.” Some might call them Starsky and Hutch or even Maverick and Goose. Ask Singleton, and he would say they’re “The Bash Brothers” from “The Mighty Ducks.”Singleton and Jewell’s bond off th...

Mathews: VR took me to the world’s past — and to its future

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:52:38 GMT

I was more than a little startled when Konrad Adenauer approached me in the Old Market.Sure, I was visiting Cologne, Germany, Adenauer’s hometown. But I had never imagined I’d lay eyes on the German republic’s first post-war chancellor — much less get a wave from him.Not least because he died six years before I was born.But I had traveled back to 1926, when Adenauer was Cologne’s mayor, courtesy of TimeRide, a virtual reality tour.I’m not much for tourist attractions, which TimeRide — which also operates in Dresden, Munich, Berlin, and Frankfurt — most certainly is. But my colleagues at a Cologne-based democracy NGO suggested I try it. I’m glad I did.Because TimeRide suggests possibilities for remembrance of difficult pasts — and for how communities envision their democratic futures.The idea of using virtual reality to document horrors is not new. The state of Bavaria created a virtual reality version of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp to assist with the prosecution of Naz...

Brooks: Departing Utah Sen. Mitt Romney gives us a rare gift

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:52:38 GMT

Sometimes you do things that make you feel ashamed. It was the first day of the Republican convention in 2012, and I had nothing to write about, so I wrote a humor column mocking the Romney family for being perfect in every way. It was a hit with readers, but the afternoon it was published I crossed paths with two of Mitt Romney’s sons, and they looked at me with hurt in their eyes, which pierced me. I’d ridiculed people for the sin of being admirable.A few years later, before he was a senator, Romney asked me to come out to Utah to give a talk to a group he was convening. It’s a pain to write a speech and get on a plane, but I did it in penance for my sins. Of course, all the Romneys were lovely to me, as is their nature. And I learned a lesson: The partisans may applaud if you ridicule those you admire, of any political stripe, but stay faithful to them.We all struggle to be the best version of ourselves we can be, and Romney’s struggle is now taking him into retirement and out of...

LYON, France (AP) — Struggling French club Lyon hired former Italy defender Fabio Grosso as its new coach on Saturday.Grosso replaces Laurent Blanc, who left by mutual consent following a terrible start to the season.
