ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy is looking forward to taking some pregame hits in Indianapolis — friendly blows that will be delivered by his coach, Jim Harbaugh, who has completed the Big Ten’s suspension stemming from a sign-stealing investigation.“Every game and it’s usually right before kickoff, he’ll come and find me,” McCarthy said. “He’s all about getting that first hit and the butterflies just disintegrate from your body. He tries to do his best to simulate that.“It’s a nice little weekly tradition that I can’t wait to get back.”Harbaugh opened his press conference Monday by hailing his assistants and players for nearly 10 minutes for their performance in a 30-24 win over Ohio State, a game he watched at home with his wife while he served the final game of his suspension.“Who could possibly have it better than us?” Harbaugh asked reporters ahead of his return to the No. 2 Wolverines’ sideline, which will come Saturday night in Indianapo...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:51:27 GMT

A South Florida woman learned a valuable lesson over the weekend—never be too trusting of people or technology. While shopping at a Miami Home Depot on Saturday, Camila Rodriguez discovered her Tesla’s recording captured a bold theft from her car. She said she made the mistake of not checking if her car was locked. Rodriguez is now speaking out in order to prevent more thefts from happening, especially during the holiday shopping season. “When I opened the trunk, surprisingly all of my shopping bags were gone,” said Rodriguez. “I think it’s important to identify this person, not because I want to do like a witch hunt or anything, but because I think it’s really important that he doesn’t do this to other people. That it doesn’t go unpunished.”Reviewing the Tesla footage revealed an individual approaching her car with what appeared to be a rag as he used it to access the door handles.“So we went over the recording right then...

Two members of a local man’s family are now back in Israel after they were among 11 hostages released by Hamas on Monday. Jason Greenberg of Needham has been waiting for weeks for any signs Hamas would free his captured family members. On Monday, he said his 12-year-old and 16-year-old cousins had been freed and taken to a hospital to be treated by the Red Cross. Greenberg said his cousins’ father is still being held hostage. Speaking with 7NEWS, Greenberg said he saw a short video clip of his freed relatives, adding that they seemed to be in good physical condition. Once they’re home, Greenberg said, their community will help them adjust. “Once they are able to come home and be welcomed by their families, we will be helping them on the road to recovery, to move on with their lives as 12- and 16-year-old children,” Greenberg said. Greenberg noted his cousins’ resilience, “and their ability to withstand and endure unthinkable circumstances over the past 52 da...

Umpires from historic Red Sox postseasons on HOF ballot

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:51:27 GMT

Joe West and Ed Montague, two umpires who were on the field for some of the most important moments in Red Sox history, are on the Baseball Hall of Fame’s Contemporary Era ballot this year.Though not exactly popular with players throughout his 44-season career and often criticized for his tendency to inflame, rather than deescalate tense situations on the field, West is likely to be inducted on the basis that he holds the all-time record, with 5,460 games umpired. He’s the only umpire to surpass Hall of Famer Bill “Old Arbiter” Klem, who set the previous record working games between 1904-41.In 1981, West made history as the youngest umpire to work a League Championship Series. It ended up being the first of 10, including the ALCS in ‘03, ‘04, ‘13, and ‘18. He famously declared Dave Roberts safe at second in Game 4 of ‘04, and when Alex Rodriguez infamously swatted the ball out of Bronson Arroyo’s glove in Game 6, it was West’s crew that ruled the Yankee slugger out for interference. ...
