Chargers’ Austin Ekeler on plight of running backs: ‘We’re not just numbers on a page’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:27:06 GMT

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Austin Ekeler has the most scrimmage touchdowns in the past two years and became the fifth running back in NFL history last season to have at least 100 catches in a season.It isn’t Ekeler’s on-field accomplishments though that gained attention throughout the offseason and leading into Los Angeles Chargers training camp. Instead, it has been about him trying to unite veteran running backs in seeking improved salaries along with fighting the narrative that the position has lost its value in a passing-heavy league.Ekeler organized a Zoom call with other running backs last Saturday that also included Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, Nick Chubb, Derrick Henry and Christian McCaffrey. “We’re not just numbers on a page, we’re actual players and we all have different impacts on each team, so it’s very situational, as far as what a specific player can have as far as impact on each team,” Ekeler said after the Chargers completed their second training camp pra...

No da tregua: el gobierno de Biden aumenta las deportaciones de migrantes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:27:06 GMT

HARLINGEN, Texas — Cuando el presidente Joe Biden levantó la restricción fronteriza de la era de la pandemia del COVID-19 conocida como Título 42 en mayo, los funcionarios del gobierno esperaban un fuerte aumento en la cantidad de inmigrantes que ingresaban a los Estados Unidos.Los peores escenarios no ocurrieron, y el gobierno ha estado promocionando una caída del 42% en los cruces fronterizos ilegales desde mayo. Pero la realidad en la frontera hay más matices: la cantidad de migrantes que llegan a los EEUU sigue siendo alta, dijeron varias fuentes policiales. Y el gobierno Biden ha estado aumentando las deportaciones.Una parte central de ese esfuerzo se puede ver aquí en la pista de un aeropuerto en el Valle del Río Grande, donde el miércoles por la mañana, más de 100 migrantes, en su mayoría mujeres y niños, bajaban de los autobuses y subían a un avión fletado que los llevaría de vuelta a Honduras. El vuelo está a cargo de ICE Air, un programa que alquila varios aviones cada sem...

Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck defends program against allegations he calls ‘baseless’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:27:06 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck brushed off allegations that he runs a toxic program on Thursday, saying they mostly come from players and employees who have been dismissed or departed on their own.“These allegations are baseless,” Fleck said during Big Ten media days at Lucas Oil Stadium. “We have full support of our athletic director, Mark Coyle, and our university leadership. This is a similar story that gets peddled every single year, and the majority of the players have been dismissed or removed from our football team.”Multiple former players and employees have been quoted anonymously in reports, including by Front Office Sports, examining the program’s culture, including an accusation that Fleck has interfered with medical protocols to get injured players to return earlier than anticipated.“We also have around a half-dozen anonymous reporting avenues within our football program that players can go to if they have an issue,” Fleck said. “And our athletic director...
