Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 12:57:27 GMT

ST. LOUIS -- The city is on the brink of a major change for short-term rentals as two bills face their final passage by the Board of Aldermen. For years, St. Louis has been one of the few cities in the region without specific regulations for short-term rentals. Today, that might change due to growing concerns related to incidents at these rentals, including fights, the open carrying of firearms, and other violence, especially in the downtown area. Law enforcement has grappled with handling these issues, particularly street brawls.

Additionally, a minimum two-night stay rule is on the horizon, with strict prohibitions against parties.Violations of these rules...

Nuggets Journal: In time of grief, Michael Malone tried to keep coaching from afar

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 12:57:27 GMT

LOS ANGELES — The usual routine was disrupted by an unexpected but welcome notification on Braxton Key’s phone.It was Tuesday, before a preseason game against the Clippers. “I came back from my shootaround and I took out my phone,” Key said. “Usually I text my girl and a couple other people.”But this time he was surprised to see a text from Michael Malone, who was still on personal leave following the death of his father a week earlier.He was imploring Key to slow down on offense. Malone liked how Key was defending and using his physicality, but he thought Key looked a bit uncomfortable at the other end, a natural growing pain for a player adapting to a new system.“I was just doing some things that were uncharacteristic,” Key said. “Trying to do a little too much at the offensive end. So I listened to him.”Key played his best game of the preseason that night, scoring 14 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.Malone, the ninth-year Nugge...

How Russell Wilson’s contract extension could force Broncos to consider benching him later this season

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 12:57:27 GMT

Russell Wilson sees good in the future.“I feel great, the ball’s spinning well, I feel like I’m seeing it well for the most part and then also moving well,” Wilson told reporters Wednesday. “I’ve got all the confidence in the world.”Wilson started the season with nine touchdown passes in his first four games, but has turned the ball over three times and been sacked eight over the Broncos’ past two losses, including a 95-yard night his last time out at Kansas City.Denver coach Sean Payton said when it comes to life in the NFL, “there’s a fine line between a rut and a groove.” Over a 1-5 start, that’s applied to Wilson, Denver’s offense and the club overall.But regardless of whether the Broncos find a groove or remain stuck in a rut as they move toward midseason and past a Week 9 bye, they’re approaching an inflection point with their quarterback that centers around a question with repercussions not just for 2023 but multiple years...

So, at first glance, it appears UNLV finally has a team. But a further examination of the Rebels’ five wins indicates they haven’t beaten one team with a winning record. In fact, the combined record of those opponents is 9-26, including FCS Bryant (3-3). That falls in line with where UNLV sits in advanced metrics like ESPN’s predictive SP+ rankings (No. 87). Thus, the jury is still out on first-year head coach Barry Odom’s squad.Underdogs, again: One place that does appear to be buying the former Mizzou head coach’s program? Vegas, baby.

Already an NBA champion, Nuggets’ Jamal Murray has plenty to play for in 2023-24. Offline, he’s putting in the hours to master it all.

Video games don’t necessarily function as a means to decompress, the way Jamal Murray plays them.Occasionally the Nuggets point guard and some old friends from youth basketball still hop online together from their respective PlayStations to hang out remotely. The games vary: Fortnite, Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty.Regardless of the choice, an unusual trend developed at one point.“We’ll all say, ‘Yo, download this game,’” said Josiah Riley, one of Murray’s former AAU and prep teammates. “Cool. He’ll play it the first day and he’ll be terrible. And then the next day we’ll play, and all of a sudden he’s beating everybody. We’re like, ‘What have you been doing?’”Once, Riley was visiting Murray in Denver when he says he walked downstairs to find Murray, controller in hand, using the PlayStation. Riley checked the PlayStation app on his phone. According to that, Murray’s account wasn’t currently in use. He wasn’t playing video games. Except he was.“Caught him in the act,” Riley said, lau...

Elias: Science only seems to justify Newsom’s policies when convenient

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 12:57:27 GMT

Gov. Gavin Newsom is a big advocate of science — the concept, not the magazine. He’s often said science was behind his many controversial moves to counter COVID-19, and he’s using science in the state’s effort to mitigate future wildfires, for just two examples.Related ArticlesLocal News | Elias: California housing policy based on state’s bad forecasting Local News | Elias: For California police, there’s less heat on the heat for the moment Local News | Elias: California housing costs worse for homeowners than renters However, when confronted with the strong possibility that scientific findings may conflict with his years-long push for more housing density, signing bill after bill to further that cause over the last five years, he ignored them.As far back as 2019, fully four years ago, Newsom was presented with evidence from Science (the peer-reviewed magazine of the American Association for the Advancement of, yes, Science...
