PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens hears the outside criticism about his hustle. More specifically his lack of hustle.He could not care less.“The people that are questioning my effort, they don’t play football,” Pickens told reporters Tuesday. “They do what y’all do.”Pickens has come under scrutiny of late, even from coach Mike Tomlin, for questionable decision-making at times. The latest examples came during Pittsburgh’s 30-13 loss to Indianapolis on Saturday.The second-year player neglected to block downfield on a run by teammate Jaylen Warren in the first quarter, allowing Warren to be tackled short of the goal line. Pickens also jogged downfield following an Indianapolis interception, essentially jogging away from Colts safety Julian Blackmon.Videos of Pickens’ lackluster effort went viral on social media. “Everybody that got opinions are all media, surface guys,” Pickens said. “None of them play football. They are ne...

Donald Trump banned from Colorado ballot in historic ruling by state’s Supreme Court

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:37:59 GMT

DENVER (AP) — A divided Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday declared former President Donald Trump ineligible for the White House under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause and removed him from the state’s presidential primary ballot, setting up a likely showdown in the nation’s highest court to decide whether the front-runner for the GOP nomination can remain in the race.The decision from a court whose justices were all appointed by Democratic governors marks the first time in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate.“A majority of the court holds that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” the court wrote in its 4-3 decision.Colorado’s highest court overturned a ruling from a district court judge who found that Trump incited an insurrection for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, but said he could not be barred from the ballot because it was un...

Denver reworks how it measures success of homeless housing plan

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:37:59 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — The city of Denver is changing how it measures how long the homeless stay in its program to get people indoors.Mayor Mike Johnston said he hopes the new system is more transparent and provides additional valuable data.“We want to show you how long folks have been there and also what the nature of the exits are and why they are happening,” Johnston said.The major change is in how the city measures the number of days an unhoused person remains in the program. Until now, the 14-day mark was key in measuring the program’s progress, but the new mark has been more than doubled to 30 days. Denver breaks ground on 5-story shelter for veterans, families Johnson said the new data on the House1000 program dashboard will be more comprehensive and impactful.“It shows you exactly on (a) pie chart where folks are that are under 30 days and those that are there over 30 days, and it shows you exactly anyone that has exited no matter when they exited. This is a more accountable, mor...
