Initial consent decree progress report reveals CPD missed most

The preliminary progress report from a federal monitor appointed to supervise the Chicago Police Department by way of a historic reformation course of discovered town has missed greater than three-quarters of its deadlines and has not reached preliminary compliance with nearly all of the recognized areas for reform throughout its first six months beneath a consent decree. Earlier this week, realizing that the report would paint the division in an unflattering mild, police officers tried to get forward of its launch by acknowledging the report would present much less progress than the officers stated the division has made. “It’s not like we’ve sat on our hands and not done anything. We’ve made some substantial

Bears’ Cody Parkey’s Missed Kick Made Eagles’ Nick Foles Some Extra Money

Bears’ Cody Parkey’s Missed Kick Made Eagles’ Nick Foles Some Extra Money

Nick Foles came just four plays short of earning himself a million dollars in last Sunday’s matchup after he injured his ribs, but he didn’t miss out in the NFC Wild Card game. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback had many reasons to celebrate Sunday after his team defeated the Chicago Bears in dramatic fashion (and heartbreaking fashion for Bears’ fans) to earn a spot in the NFC Divisional Round, where they will take on Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints. But aside from the win, Foles earned himself that extra million he missed out on just seven days ago, thanks in part to Chicago kicker Cody Parkey missing what would have been a

Someone Missed Winning $100K On Mookie Betts’ Home Run By One Pitch

Mookie Betts’ 13-pitch at-bat that ended in a grand slam was a thing of beauty. But at least one Boston Red Sox fan out there was hoping the at-bat could have lasted one more pitch. Betts outlasted Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ on Thursday night, blasting a go-ahead grand slam in the fourth inning of Boston’s eventual win. The moon shot came at the end of a long, grueling at-bat in which Betts had to foul off some tough offerings from Happ. It was an unusually long inning for Happ who threw nearly 50 pitches in the frame. The home run came not only on the 13th pitch of the at-bat, but it

Celtics Notes: Kyrie Irving Sorely Missed; Joel Embiid Dominates Boston Big Men

Celtics Notes: Kyrie Irving Sorely Missed; Joel Embiid Dominates Boston Big Men

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving’s candidacy for NBA MVP was bolstered during Thursday night’s ugly offensive performance by the C’s in an 89-80 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden. Without Irving, who sat out because of a shoulder injury, the C’s shot just 41.1 percent from the floor, hit only seven of 29 3-point shots, generated 13 points in the second quarter and scored a season-low 53 points through three quarters. In addition to poor shooting, the C’s also were sloppy with the basketball. They committed 19 turnovers and had just 13 assists on 30 made shots. Irving is the team’s leading scorer with 23.6 points per game,... NESN.com

Kyrie Irving Hilariously Trash Talks John Wall After Missed Dunk

Kyrie Irving Hilariously Trash Talks John Wall After Missed Dunk

John Wall had to have known that he was going to receive some grief for his loud gaffe Monday night. In the first quarter of the Boston Celtics’ matchup with the Washington Wizards on Christmas Day, Wall furiously attacked the basket and elevated for a highlight-reel dunk, but the star point guard was denied by the rim in an embarrassing sequence. The TD Garden crowd serenaded Wall with sarcastic applause after the missed dunk, but they weren’t the only ones to get on Wall’s case. On an ensuing possession up the court, Kyrie Irving reminded his cross-court rival of the opportunity he squandered. Although Irving’s snarky remark was pretty funn... NESN.com

Bill Belichick Not Making Excuses For Stephen Gostkowski After Fifth Missed Kick

by Zack Cox on Mon, Oct 24, 2016 at 11:27AM 2,891 After Arizona Cardinals kicker Chandler Catanzaro missed a chip-shot field goal in Sunday night’s bizarre tie against the Seattle Seahawks, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians laid into him. “Make it,” Arians said in his postgame news conference. “He’s a professional. This ain’t high school. You get paid to make it.” Bill Belichick wasn’t nearly as blunt Monday morning when discussing his own kicker, Stephen Gostkowski, but the Ne... NESN.com
