BOULDER — Where the Good Lord gave the rest of us hands, He bestowed Travis Hunter with a pair of pillows, soft and sure.CU’s new two-way star is a Mega Millions ticket in cleats, a magic lamp that can cut on a dime. The only limits are Sean Lewis’ imagination and Deion Sanders’ patience.“I want to play all the snaps,” the Buffs cornerback/wide receiver said Monday as Camp Preseason Prime hit Week 2. “I want to play all of them. I don’t like to be off the field. Being off the field, on the sideline, is boring.”Hunter does not do boring. Or small. In a league with at least six NFL quarterbacks running around, led by USC signal-caller and 2022 Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams, the affable Georgian was the only man to take up multiple slots on the preseason All-Pac-12 first team, at defensive back and all-purpose/special teams.“I mean, I pretty much block all that stuff out until it’s time to go,” Hunter said of the summer love. “I mean, I (will get) into that stuff aft...CHP investigating deadly Riverside hit-and-run

Cowabunga! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are finally in a movie worth watching. As directed by Jeff Rowe and written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, their latest adventure has a distinct sugar rush vibe, which makes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem feel like the comic books that captivated youngsters in the first place.Unlike the bland denizens of most superhero flicks, these vigilantes are stuffed to the shell with raucous character traits, pizza and soda. The same kind of boundless energy we saw in Rowe’s The Mitchells vs. The Machines fuels the turtles’ heroic missions, and it usually ends with someone ordering fast food. These dudes are on a diet that would make most doctors faint, but thankfully they burn off those calories with karate lessons in their underground lair, where they hide out with a giant rat (Jackie Chan) who’s been looking out for them for years. He knows what the world would do to a bunch of talking turtles.Still, teenagers Michelangelo (Sh...Antioch city manager names next acting police chief

OAKLAND – Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy, like many visitors to the region, has a busy week ahead in the Bay Area.

Bochy plans on enjoying some peace and quiet with a rod and reel in his hands during Thursday’s day off.“I’ve got a lot of friends to see, but I don’t have many (I can see on my day off),” Bochy said before Monday’s A’s-Rangers series opener. “I might be out on the water fishing.

Larry Scott boasted five years ago that the Pac-12 Conference would be able “to adapt, react and take advantage of this new world media order that’s coming in a way others can’t.”As it turns out, Scott’s statement instead ended up reflecting what rival conferences and commissioners did.Scott didn’t have a chance to negotiate a second Pac-12 media deal. He stepped down as commissioner in 2021 and his successor, George Kliavkoff, didn’t land the deal the conference needed.Last week’s Pac-12 collapse, which saw five of the remaining nine members announce they were leaving the “Conference of Champions” for either the Big Ten or the Big 12, drove home in a dramatic way two points: football drives college athletics and there are limits to what the media market will pay for content.“I think this was a factor of timing and potential media partners not being willing to provide the right fees that the conference and the institutions wanted,” said Tag Garson, senior vic...Latest news
