SAN DIEGO (AP) — Freeway, the sea lion rescued after wandering inland from his ocean home and crossing busy San Diego thoroughfares, has been euthanized after falling ill. The sea lion earned his name in January 2022 after being found on State Route 94, a freeway several miles from shore, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. The SeaWorld San Diego team that got him to safety said he’d been previously spotted at San Diego International Airport and in a storm drain in the Logan Heights neighborhood. Since being rescued last year, Freeway had contracted a “progressive disease that our animal care experts diagnosed,” SeaWorld said in statement Friday. “Despite extensive treatment, the disease caused his health to deteriorate over time,” the statement said. Given his decline, the team made the decision to humanely euthanize him, SeaWorld said.Freeway was first rescued in November 2021 when he was found on a busy road near North San Diego Bay. A rescue crew rehabbed him at Se...

Wild get major boost from St. Paul crowd. Sometimes at Ryan Suter’s expense.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:32:47 GMT

Wild coach Dean Evason took over behind the bench on Feb. 14, 2020. He’s approaching 250 games as the man in charge. He maintains that the sellout crowd for Game 3 was as loud as he’s ever heard the Xcel Energy Center.“Absolutely incredible,” Evason said on Friday after the Wild put the finishing touches on a 5-1 win over the Dallas Stars. “Tonight was a level that was off the charts.”It was a similar sentiment from almost every player in the Wild locker room.“When you’re wondering as a kid in the crowd if players hear you or if it affects the game, playing, it sure does, hearing that crowd,” rookie defenseman Brock Faber said. “Just feeding off that was special.”There might have been a reason for the rowdiness throughout Game 3. Let’s just say the 8:50 p.m. puck drop gave fans ample time to pregame on West 7th Street adjacent to the arena in downtown St. Paul.“They probably had a lot of downtime before this gam...

Nickeil Alexander-Walker proves he could be valuable long-term piece for Timberwolves

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:32:47 GMT

Timberwolves veterans lamented so many things throughout this series as Minnesota dug itself a giant hole against the top-seeded Nuggets. Habits — or the lack thereof — were discussed. Habits like hitting the glass, making sacrificial cuts on offense and simply knowing your defensive assignments and rotations.Those are all things Minnesota lacks as a team, and it’s why such a talented team is not currently at the level of a squad such as Denver. But one player who has not come up short in those all-important areas is midseason acquisition Nickeil Alexander-Walker.The 24-year-old wing has carved out a sizable role with the Timberwolves since he was dealt to Minnesota in mid-February. Part of that is due to the injury of Jaden McDaniels, but another reason is Alexander-Walker’s professional, relentless approach.That approach has allowed Alexander-Walker to acclimate to the playoffs, where attention to detail and preparedness are prerequisites for success.

Should Broncos take advantage of strong running back class in NFL draft?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:32:47 GMT

It can be hard to figure out what direction the Broncos will take with their five selections in the 2023 NFL Draft.Will the Broncos trade up or down for more picks? Will they continue to add depth on the offensive line after making the trenches a priority in free agency? Will wide receivers Jerry Jeudy or Courtland Sutton get traded for additional selections?Among the endless possibilities heading into this week’s draft, head coach Sean Payton and general George Paton share the same vision so many NFL decision-makers parrot this time of year: Draft the best player available.“If the best player on the board is a defensive end or offensive guard, and we have a clear vision, that’ll happen,” Payton said during last week’s pre-draft news conference. “We would look at a list — and we’re not going to share the list with you — but we would look at (it like), ‘These were some things we’d like to get out of this draft if it’s possible.’ But there’s an ‘if’ there, and we recognize that....
