He has been on house arrest since November of 2022. As a result, his sentence will be up in 542 days.\n\nThe shooting took place on February 28th, 2022. Velasquez was arrested after he engaged in a car chase and shot at a man who was accused of molesting his son at a daycare. Velasquez engaged in a high-speed chase with a car that that contained the accused sex offender, his stepfather, and mother. Velasquez rammed his own vehicle into the car and fired multiple shots, but missed the man and instead hit the stepfather. Velasquez was charged with attempted murder and the gun charges shortly after.\n\nThe man Velasquez was chasing will go on trail on June 2nd on a felony charge of lewd acts with a minor. He has pleaded not guilty.\n\nVelasquez recently said on Kyle Kingsbury’s podcast, “From what I can say as far as myself, the way that I handled things was not the way to do it.

The result is essentially a hybrid species similar in appearance to its extinct forerunner.\n\nThe dire wolf, Aenocyon dirus, which was the inspiration for the fearsome canine featured in the HBO TV series “Game of Thrones,” was a top predator that once roamed North America. (HBO shares parent company Warner Bros. Discovery with CNN.) Dire wolves were larger in size than gray wolves and “had a slightly wider head, light thick fur and stronger jaw,” the company said.\n\nColossal has been working toward resurrecting the mammoth, dodo and Tasmanian tiger since 2021, but the company had not previously publicized its work on dire wolves.\n\n“This massive milestone is the first of many coming examples demonstrating that our end-to-end de-extinction technology stack works,” said Ben Lamm, Colossal’s cofounder and CEO, in a news release. “Our team took DNA from a 13,000 year old tooth and a 72,000 year old skull and made healthy dire wolf puppies.”\n\nThe three dire wolves are living on a 2,000-acre site at an undisclosed location enclosed by 10-foot-tall (3-meter-tall) “zoo-grade” fencing, where they are monitored by security personnel, drones and live camera feeds. Colossal said the facility had been certified by the American Humane Society and registered with the US Department of Agriculture.\n\nUsing ancient DNA extracted from two dire wolf fossils, Colossal’s scientists and collaborators said they were able to assemble two high-quality Aenocyon dirus genomes, or complete sets of genetic information.\n\nThe team compared the genomes with those of living canids such as wolves, jackals and foxes to identify the genetic variants for traits specific to dire wolves, such as white coats and longer, thick fur.\n\nThe company then used the information from the genetic analysis to alter gray wolf cells, making 20 edits in 14 genes before cloning the most promising cell lines and transferring them into donor eggs, according to the news release.\n\n“Healthy developing embryos were then transferred into surrogates for interspecies gestation,” with three pregnancies that led to births of the first de-extinct species, Colossal revealed in its statement. The company confirmed to CNN that it used domestic dogs — specifically large, mixed-breed hounds — as surrogates.\n\nTwo male dire wolf pups were born on October 1, 2024, while a female pup was born on January 30, 2025, according to Colossal Biosciences.', '_md_user_153 _md_content_thread _md_node_173 _md_thread_4982 _md_thread_type_discussion', 153, 1744107324, 4982),

It has been a frustrating stretch for the Nuggets as three-time MVP and current MVP candidate Nikola Jokic has tried to keep things together while Jamal Murray has been out for five straight games with a hamstring injury.\n\nThere have been moments when players have shown emotions on the sideline, with even normally calm Jokic displaying rare frustration recently while on the bench trying to sort out the Nuggets\' struggles. The Nuggets have gone 11-13 since the All-Star break.\n\nWhen the Nuggets entered this season, sources told ESPN that there was growing tension between Malone and Booth that grew into a \"cold war.\" Since the team won the championship, the Nuggets have gone with younger role players such as Christian Braun and Peyton Watson around the team\'s core of Jokic, Murray and Aaron Gordon. Veterans such as Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Bruce Brown left in previous summers during free agency to sign bigger deals elsewhere.\n\nMalone had been with the team for 10 seasons, leading the Nuggets to their lone NBA championship. He had a 471-327 record.\n\n\"This decision was not made lightly,\" Josh Kroenke, vice chairman of Kroenke Sports and Entertainment, said in a team statement. \"And was evaluated very carefully, and we do it only with the intention of giving our group the best chance at competing for the 2025 NBA Championship and delivering another title to Denver and our fans everywhere.\n\n\"While the timing of this decision is unfortunate, as Coach Malone helped build the foundation of our now championship-level program, it is a necessary step to allow us to compete at the highest level right now. Championship-level standards and expectations remain in place for the current season, and as we look to the future, we look forward to building on the foundations laid by Coach Malone over his record-breaking 10-year career in Denver.\"\n\nBooth was promoted to be the Nuggets\' GM for the past three seasons after Tim Connelly left for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In the past three seasons, Cronin has engineered roster moves that have improved the team’s overall talent level and competitiveness going forward. Through trades, Cronin spearheaded the additions of Jerami Grant in July of 2022, Deandre Ayton and Toumani Camara in September of 2023, and Deni Avdija in July of 2024.\n\nUnder Cronin’s direction, the Trail Blazers have also added talent through the draft selecting Shaedon Sharpe in 2022, Scoot Henderson in 2023, and Donovon Clingan in 2024. Both Sharpe (2023) and Henderson (2023, 2024), along with Camara (2024), have been named to NBA Rising Stars teams at multiple All-Star weekends.\n\n“Joe has demonstrated leadership and vision during his time as General Manager, and I’m excited to see him continue building the foundation for a long-term, winning team,” said Jody Allen, chair of the Portland Trail Blazers. “We are all thrilled with the team’s forward momentum and excited for the future of Trail Blazers basketball.”\n\n“I am honored that Jody and Bert have put their continued trust in me and thank them for believing in this opportunity to further our pursuit of building a winning team in Portland,” said Joe Cronin, Portland Trail Blazers General Manager. “My vision is to have a competitive roster with the potential for sustained success, while creating a culture that helps all our players, coaches and staff thrive. I couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come.”\n\nSince first joining the team as an intern, Cronin has gained experience within the organization across a variety of front office roles. Now with 19 years of front office experience, including extensive knowledge of the salary cap, proven management skills, player evaluation prowess, and player contract expertise, Cronin will continue to lead the Trail Blazers.\n\nCronin will be made available to the media on Sunday, April 13 after Portland’s season finale vs. Los Angeles Lakers.', '_md_user_153 _md_content_thread _md_node_166 _md_thread_5006 _md_thread_type_discussion _md_prefix_47', 153, 1744142916, 5006),

It\'s not only possible, it\'s already happening -- at least according to Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin.\n\nRubin makes that claim as the guest on Tuesday\'s Season 2 premiere of the 6-1-1 Podcast, hosted by former Phillies teammates Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard.\n\n\"When I see the numbers he\'s doing, what he\'s doing for the business,\" Rubin says, \"I mean, he is truly a unicorn.

He also became the first player to reach 400 or more total bases in a season since 2001.\n\nIt\'s a run of greatness that the sports world has seldom seen.\n\n\"We work with 5,000 athletes individually at Fanatics,\" Rubin says on the podcast. \"Just about every sport, every team globally.

He was previously warned by the league office that this gesture could be interpreted in a negative light.\n\nThe gestures that drew the fine were made by Morant during the Grizzlies\' 110-108 victory over the Miami Heat on April 3, but it first drew the league\'s attention in an April 1 home game against the Golden State Warriors.\n\nThat led to the investigation and the warning before Morant did it again against Miami.\n\nThe fine was the culmination of several questionable incidents involving firearms. Morant was suspended for 25 games at the start of the 2023-24 season after he was seen on video waving a gun in a car.

The injury puts Carr\'s attendance in question as the team begins its first 2025 preparations under new coach Kellen Moore.\n\nCarr has not played since he broke several bones in his non-throwing hand in Week 14 against the New York Giants.

The Saints ended up restructuring his contract instead, effectively tying him to the team through the 2025 season.\n\nThe Saints hold the ninth pick in this month\'s NFL draft and have four quarterbacks on the roster: Carr, Haener, Rattler and Ben DiNucci.

He spent 10 seasons with the Cardinals, leaving after the 2020 season for the Minnesota Vikings. After two seasons in purple and gold, Peterson played for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2023 but did not play in 2024.\n\nHe went to eight straight Pro Bowls with the Cardinals, from his rookie year in 2011 through 2018.\n\nPeterson developed a reputation as a dominant, lock-down cornerback for most of his career, which allowed Arizona to leave Peterson on an island while committing the resources of the 10 other defenders elsewhere.\n\nHe had 36 interceptions in 201 career games, returning two for touchdowns. He also returned 195 punts for 1,816 yards and four touchdowns, all of which came as a rookie, and returned four kickoffs for 75 yards.\n\nPeterson made headlines in 2018, when he asked for a trade. However, two days later, he walked back his request, saying he was just frustrated. After the season, Peterson said he would honor his contract, which ran through the 2020 season. He went to Minnesota as a free agent.\n\nHowever, his discontent with the organization wasn\'t quieted when he left Arizona.\n\nFollowing a Vikings win over the Cardinals in 2022 in Minneapolis, Peterson made his feelings toward the Cardinals clear, sharing that disparaging emails were left on his chair during the 2020 season with the Cardinals and noting that, at that point, he still hadn\'t talked with former Cardinals general manager Steve Keim, who chose not re-sign Peterson.', '_md_user_153 _md_content_thread _md_node_169 _md_thread_5150 _md_thread_type_discussion _md_prefix_48', 153, 1744467969, 5150),

The collaboration saw multiple TNA stars appear on NXT and vice versa. Several top names, including The Hardy Boyz, Ethan Page, and many more, appeared on each other’s brands, including Joe Hendry’s Royal Rumble debut.\n\nHowever, according to a recent report by Fightful Select, Hendry’s absence from recent WWE programming was addressed. As per the report, despite a pitch for Hendry to appear on Raw, it was nixed. The report notes that former long-time employee Ariel Shnerner did not agree with the creative, which would have seen Hendry suffer a loss.\n\nOne idea proposed that it could have seen a future rivalry against The Miz. However, none of that happened. Fightful Select further claimed that it was another contributing factor to WWE’s souring relationship with Ariel Shnerner. Previously, WWE NXT performers had requested Ariel Shnerner’s absence from their locker room. It was regarded as nothing personal, but to keep the locker rooms limited to talent.', '_md_user_153 _md_content_thread _md_node_179 _md_thread_5158 _md_thread_type_discussion', 153, 1744625548, 5158),

With his distinctive look modelled on Elvis Presley and questionable tactics in the ring, fans loved to boo the man who went on to hold the Intercontinental Championship for longer than anyone – at least until Gunther came along and destroyed his 454-day record with his own 666-day reign from 2022-2024.\n\nHonky Tonk Man was inducted into the Hall of Fame back in 2019, and has held Legends Contracts with the company going even further back. Now, the star has announced that he has signed his third consecutive Legends deal, something he says will ensure the character and intellectual property “live on forever.”\n\n“This Legends Deal is a reflection of my time and impact in WWE during the era it was becoming a global phenomenon. The relationship with WWE has been mutually beneficial and I am honored by their continued commitment to ensure the Honky Tonk Man character and intellectual property will live on forever.”\n\nThe statement from the star’s management team can be read below:\n\n“Honky Tonk Man has officially re-signed a multi-year Legends Deal with WWE, marking his third consecutive contract and continuing a remarkable 15-year nostalgia partnership with the company.\n\n“The Honky Tonk Man electrified the ring with unforgettable performances, shaking, rattling, and rolling his way to an astonishing 454-day reign as Intercontinental Champion—one of the longest in WWE history. With Jimmy Hart in his corner and his iconic guitar always within reach, this devious Superstar shattered the rules to ensure his triumphs. His reign was a spectacle of cunning and charisma, leaving an indelible mark on wrestling history.\n\n“For all his accomplishments and impact on professional wrestling and sports entertainment, the Honky Tonk Man was enshrined into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019. Many argue that he was one of the first true sports entertainers, blending athleticism with showmanship in a way that set the standard for future generations.”', '_md_user_153 _md_content_thread _md_node_179 _md_thread_5159 _md_thread_type_discussion', 153, 1744625659, 5159);

The Hall of Fame player was hired from Tampa Bay in 2019 and the patience he asked for is running thin.\n\nA year after losing a tiebreaker for the last spot in the Eastern Conference, the Red Wings took a step back this season and were eliminated from postseason contention Saturday.\n\nThe Blackhawks are the last-place team in the Central Division for the third straight season and will finish ahead of only San Jose in the NHL. Earlier this century, Chicago was a league power with three Cups from 2010 to 2015 to give the franchise four.\n\nThough the Red Wings and Blackhawks were predicted to have another lackluster season, the Rangers and Bruins were expected to be playoff teams.\n\nA season after winning the Presidents\' Trophy with an NHL-high 114 points and reaching the Eastern Conference final, the Rangers were hoping to hoist the Cup for the first time in more than three decades and fifth time in franchise history. Peter Laviolette\'s second season as coach in New York didn\'t pan out, guiding a team that was hovering around .500 and out of contention during the last week of the regular season.\n\nBoston started the season with high hopes and will finish it with the fewest points in the Eastern Conference, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2016.

Sources told TMZ that Popovich was alert when he entered the ambulance.\n\nOn Nov. 2, Popovich suffered what the team called a \"mild stroke\" ahead of a matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Hall of Famer, who has coached the Spurs since the 1996-97 season, is the NBA\'s winningest coach with 1,412 regular-season victories and another 170 in the postseason to go with five championships.\n\nHe agreed to a five-year contract extension with the team in 2023.\n\nAssistant coach Mitch Johnson took over on an interim basis to lead San Antonio to a record of 31-45 under his watch.\n\nFranchise cornerstone Victor Wembanyama was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis, or a blood clot, in his right shoulder shortly after the NBA All-Star break and was ruled out for the remainder of the regular season. Newly added guard De\'Aaron Fox, who joined the Spurs in February through a trade, missed the final 18 games due to a left pinkie injury that required surgery.\n\nBefore Popovich\'s latest health incident, the Spurs had already faced an uncertain future as to whether the coach would return for the 2025-26 season. Johnson said the Spurs have put together an offseason plan that will be executed collectively, starting later this spring, by the staff in Popovich\'s absence.\n\n\"I think I haven\'t had time to deal with it yet,\" Johnson said after the season finale Sunday. \"I understand it\'s a fair question, and I think I will, hopefully like everybody that\'s gone through this, take some time away, catch my breath and spend some time with family.\n\n\"This organization is still prioritizing Pop\'s health. In time, he will do what he needs to do and make decisions. That will go through this organization on very many levels. We really put together that plan as a group. Obviously, my role has changed in nine years. What I\'m doing this spring won\'t be what I did eight years ago, but the player development has been at the forefront since I\'ve been here.\"\n\nThe organization has steadfastly maintained internally that it would let Popovich decide whether he wants to return for a 30th season in San Antonio. Sources who have been in contact with Popovich since his stroke have said the coach has expressed to them an intention to return to the bench next season.', '_md_user_153 _md_content_thread _md_node_166 _md_thread_5181 _md_thread_type_discussion _md_prefix_47', 153, 1745072928, 5181),

So many memories and amazing moments. It wasn\'t always easy, but it was always worth it! The next journey starts now.\"\n\nAt BYU, Fredette led the country with 28.9 points per game in 2010-11 and won consensus national player of the year honors while leading the Cougars to their first Sweet 16 appearance in 30 years.\n\nFredette, 36, was the No. 10 pick by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2011 draft before being traded to the Sacramento Kings. He spent parts of six seasons in the NBA with Sacramento, Chicago, New Orleans, New York and Phoenix.\n\nHe also played professionally in China and Greece, winning the MVP award in the Chinese Basketball Association in 2017. Fredette had games of 70 and 75 points in China, including one where he scored 60 points after halftime.\n\nThe best years of his playing career may have been his final ones, when he turned his attention to 3x3. Fredette was a star in that fast-paced, half-court game for the U.S., helping the Americans win gold medals at the 2022 FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup and 2023 Pan American Games along with a silver at the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

Managing partner John Collins will lead a search to find the Islanders\' next GM.\n\n\"The Islanders extend a heartfelt thank you to Lou Lamoriello for his extraordinary commitment over the past seven years,\" the team said in a statement. \"His dedication to the team is in line with his Hall of Fame career.\"\n\nLamoriello, 82, spent the past seven years running the Islanders\' hockey operations with a close connection to ownership. They missed the playoffs this season but qualified five times under Lamoriello\'s watch, including a trip to the Eastern Conference final in the 2020 \"bubble\" during the coronavirus pandemic.\n\nFor the bulk of his time in the league, Lamoriello worked as president and GM of the New Jersey Devils from 1987-2015, a stretch during which they won the Stanley Cup three times. He served as GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2015 until he joined the Islanders in 2018.\n\nA Hall of Famer in the builders category, Lamoriello\'s old-school approach with everything from not sharing information to banning facial hair for players and coaches made him a rarity in modern hockey and arguably played a part in stagnating the once widely successful franchise. It is now more than four decades removed from the dynasty days when the Islanders won the Cup four years in a row from 1980-83.\n\nIf he indeed steps away from hockey, he will largely be remembered for his work with the Devils, a franchise that saw little success before his arrival. The club would soon advance to four Stanley Cup Finals across a nine-year span, polishing Hall of Fame careers along the way for goaltender Martin Brodeur and defensemen Scott Stevens and Scott Niedermayer. With no affiliation to the Islanders next season, the Devils would have an appropriate opportunity to add Lamoriello to the team\'s ring of honor.\n\nMoving on from Lamoriello puts the entire organization in flux, including the future of the rest of the front office and coaching staff. Lamoriello hired Patrick Roy as coach in January 2024 to replace Lane Lambert.\n\nSon Chris Lamoriello has worked for the Islanders since 2016, originally as director of player personnel, and he was promoted to assistant GM to work for his father in 2018.', '_md_user_153 _md_content_thread _md_node_167 _md_thread_5210 _md_thread_type_discussion _md_prefix_52', 153, 1745430976, 5210),

Our new enhanced structure will allow Ron to continue shaping our long-term vision while empowering Jason day to day.\"\n\nFrancis had been in charge since not long after Seattle\'s ownership group was granted an NHL expansion franchise. He and Botterill are now tasked with finding a coach and repairing a roster that is lacking in elite talent.\n\n\"I am proud of what we have started here in Seattle and look forward to continuing in my new role as president,\" Francis said. \"I have worked closely with Jason for many years at both the NHL and international levels. He helped build three Stanley Cup-winning rosters in Pittsburgh and has been a key member of our management team since day one. He has demonstrated the ability to construct winning teams, and his experience, leadership, and vision will be invaluable as we continue towards a championship-caliber organization in Seattle.\"\n\nThis is Botterill\'s second GM job in the league after he ran the Buffalo Sabres from 2017 to 2020.\n\n\"We are focused on taking the next step as a franchise, and for us, next season starts now,\" Botterill said. \"From roster decisions to player development, we will do everything we can to build a team that can compete for the playoffs every year and ultimately bring a Stanley Cup to Seattle.\"\n\nThat did not happen under Bylsma.
