Rookies Stroud, Anderson should make Texans better, but Houston still far from contending

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:21:10 GMT

HOUSTON TEXANS 3-13-1EXPECTATIONS: After three seasons as one of the league’s worst teams, things should start looking up for the Texans this year. But with a young team that’s still rebuilding, don’t expect Houston to be anywhere close to contending yet. They’re led by first-year head coach DeMeco Ryans, a former linebacker for the Texans, who has brought some optimism to the downtrodden franchise. A big reason to believe Houston will be improved this season is the addition of quarterback C.J. Stroud, who was the second overall pick in this year’s draft. He replaced Davis Mills after two ineffective seasons. The Texans also beefed up their defense by trading up to nab Will Anderson Jr., a defensive end from Alabama with the third pick in the draft. Anderson has shined in camp and made a highlight-reel play on a strip-sack in the second preseason game. It’s easy to see why FanDuel has him as the favorite to win Defensive Rookie of the Year.NEW FACES: Ryans, Stroud, Anderson, WR Tank...

It’s wider than basketball players are tall — it’s the biggest tree in DC

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:21:10 GMT

You might think it’s in your backyard or around the corner, but a D.C.-based nonprofit has declared the largest tree in the city after a sweeping contest where residents submitted their picks.Its trunk is wider than Shaquille O’Neal is tall — over 7 and 1/2 feet wide (Shaq is 7 feet 1 inch). Located at the edge of the Battery Kemble Park, the Chestnut Oak, which measures over 24 feet around its circumference, is the largest tree in the District.When you drive by on Chain Bridge Road, you might think it is actually six or seven different oaks because of its split trunk, but as you get closer it is clear how large it is.“It was on our radar from the beginning because it was a champion tree that was found for D.C. — a champion tree, meaning that it’s the largest of its species for a state or city in this case,” said Vince Drader with Casey Trees, the group that ran the contest.Drader told WTOP that it is also a National Champion tree, meaning it is also the largest Chestnut...

Herbert looking to lead Chargers to consecutive playoff appearances for first time in 14 years

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:21:10 GMT

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (10-8)EXPECTATIONS: The Chargers are looking to make consecutive postseason appearances for the first time since 2009. They have Justin Herbert, the league’s highest-paid quarterback in annual salary, and an offense with plenty of talent at the skill positions. The biggest questions surround the defense, ranked 23rd and 20th in Brandon Staley’s two seasons as coach. A solid defensive core is in place with linebackers Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa and safety Derwin James. Still, it is a unit prone to giving up big plays. While the players insist they have moved on from last year’s 31-30 loss to Jacksonville in the wild-card game, where they blew a 27-point, first-half lead, there remain questions about whether this team can excel in close games consistently along with being able to play a complete game against some of the top teams in the league.NEW FACES: Offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, LB Eric Kendricks, WR Quentin Johnston.KEY LOSSES: LB Drue Tranquill, CB Bryce ...

Idalia blasts Florida and Georgia, flooding streets, snapping trees, cutting power

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:21:10 GMT

PERRY, Fla. (AP) — Hurricane Idalia tore into Florida at the speed of a fast-moving train Wednesday, splitting trees in half, ripping roofs off hotels and turning small cars into boats before sweeping into Georgia as a still-powerful storm that flooded roadways and sent residents running for higher ground.“All hell broke loose,” said Belond Thomas of Perry, a mill town located just inland from the Big Bend region where Idalia came ashore. Idalia barely clinging to hurricane strength over Georgia Thomas fled with her family and some friends to a motel, thinking it would be safer than riding out the storm at home. But as Idalia's eye passed over about 8:30 a.m., a loud whistling noise pierced the air and the high winds ripped the building's roof off, sending debris down on her pregnant daughter, who was lying in bed. Fortunately, she was not injured.“It was frightening,” Thomas said. "Things were just going so fast. ... Everything was spinning.” ...
