VALLEY PARK, Mo.

Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! “It’s not out of the complete ordinary for an eagle if they don’t have an egg and they’re going through nesting behavior to try and incubate something," Holloway said, adding that spring is when eagles usually breed and show natural reproductive behavior. But just a week or so later, the rock Murphy was protecting was replaced with a real eaglet. “This spring, it coincided with us having a lone chick," Holloway said.

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 04:59:25 GMT

Denver has lost its place as the nation's marijuana mecca, according to an analysis from Clever Real Estate. The new king of kush is Portland, Oregon, according to KTLA sister station KDVR.Oregon was two years behind Colorado in legalizing recreational cannabis. Washington and Colorado legalized it in 2012, while Alaska and Oregon legalized it in 2014. To be the nation's top hash hub, cities had to score highly in a handful of categories including legality, number of dispensaries and cannabis doctors, dispensaries' customer ratings, pot prices, Google search trends for marijuana-related terms, public perception and the number of hiking trails, concert venues, and – most importantly – Taco Bells.

SF Giants’ Wilmer Flores now repped (sort of, not really) by Bad Bunny

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 04:59:25 GMT

DETROIT — Wilmer Flores has fielded a few confusing questions recently. Mostly, it’s some version of, “You’re repped by Bad Bunny now?”The inquiries have flummoxed Flores for a couple reasons: One, no, he’s used the same agent, William Arroyo, since he was 16 years old. It’s who negotiated his three-year, $16.5 million extension with the Giants at the end of last season. And secondly, he’s never met the Latin pop superstar.But Bad Bunny, whose reggaeton hits are a frequent soundtrack in MLB clubhouses, did recently launch an agency under the umbrella of Rimas Entertainment. Arroyo, a certified player agent who has previously worked for Boras Corp and McNamara Baseball Group, signed on to lead the baseball arm. According to Flores, the move had been in the works since the start of last year. It was only just announced this week.“We are thrilled to break into a new industry with the launch of Rimas Sports.
