Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:26:30 GMT

Pac-12 football programs experienced exactly the type of spring practice they wanted ahead of the most anticipated season in years: an uneventful one (with the exception of Colorado).There were no trajectory-altering injuries, no chemistry-rattling incidents and no headline-generating developments across the footprint (with the exception of Colorado).While uncertainty over the future of the conference lingered — the media rights negotiations have entered their 11th month — the on-field product appears relatively stable.Quarterback competitions and leadership vacuums are sparse, and havoc caused by the transfer portal appears contained to a few position groups on a handful of teams (with the exception of, eh, never mind).The conference began the offseason cycle with at least four teams (Utah, Washington, Oregon and USC), and as many as six (UCLA and Oregon State), likely to appear in the AP preseason poll.It’s ending spring practice in the same situation.So what did...

How to Not Get Arrested After Killing Someone in Public

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:26:30 GMT

Typically, when dozens of people witness someone killing another person in a public space, one of two things happens: The killer is arrested or they flee. The tabloids might dub them “subway killer.”None of that happened on Monday after a 24-year-old white former U.S. Marine whose name has not been made public killed 30-year-old Jordan Neely, who was Black, on an F train in the NoHo area of Manhattan. The 24-year-old man did not flee. He was not arrested. And the tabloids — along with more respected news outlets — issued glowing appraisals of him.The unusual treatment may have had something to do with the victim: Neely was unhoused and had a history of mental illness.Neely was shouting in a way that made subway riders uncomfortable and reportedly made threats to some riders. He was asking for food shortly before the 24-year-old strangled him to death.Police took the subway rider into custody briefly for questioning then released him shortly afterward.For advocates working on issues ...
