11-time Pro Bowl receiver Larry Fitzgerald now helping young players maximize earning potential

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:37:03 GMT

Larry Fitzgerald is attacking the board room the same way he took on cornerbacks during a sensational NFL career.The 11-time Pro Bowl wide receiver who caught more passes for more yards than every player in league history other than Jerry Rice has transitioned smoothly to the corporate world since playing his last game with the Arizona Cardinals in 2020.Fitzgerald is aiming to help young athletes maximize their earning potential with more financial opportunities available to them now than ever before.“I was fortunate to have two parents that really put my best interests in hand in every decision they made,” Fitzgerald said on the AP Pro Football Podcast. “It was never about the money. It was always about ‘who can I trust that’s going to have my son’s best interest?’ And then it really helped me flush out all the ideas and thoughts that I had. And, if we didn’t have the answers, we knew where to go to be able to get solid answers.”Fitzgerald saw firsthand the opportunities student-at...

MIAMI – La música latina tiene un nuevo rey y se llama Peso Pluma. El artista mexicano fue el jueves el más premiado en los premios Billboard Latin a la música latina de 2023, superando al puertorriqueño Bad Bunny, quien llevaba varios años dominando el mercado y las ceremonias de galardones.Peso Pluma recibió ocho premios, entre los que se destacaron cuatro para “Ella Baila Sola”, su colaboración con Eslabón Armado, y el de artista nuevo del año. El Conejo Malo se fue del Watsco Center de la ciudad de Miami (EE.UU.) con siete Latin Billboards, la mayoría por su éxito “Tití Me Preguntó”. Aun así, el número más aplaudido de la noche fue la presentación de Bad Bunny, que marcó su retorno a unos premios en español, después de cuatro años de ausencia. “Moscow Mule”, “Tití Me Preguntó”, “La Neverita”, “Me Porto Bonito” y “WHERE SHE GOES” formaron parte de un popurrí, antes de que interpretara su más...

Medios piden permiso a la Justicia para transmitir el próximo año el juicio federal a Trump por subversión electoral

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:37:03 GMT

Washington (CNN) —  Un grupo de grandes medios de comunicación pidió este jueves a la jueza que supervisa el caso federal de subversión electoral de Donald Trump permiso para transmitir su juicio, argumentando que la naturaleza histórica del caso justifica una excepción a una estricta norma que prohíbe las cámaras en las salas de los tribunales.CNN y más de una docena de medios de comunicación y grupos pidieron a la jueza de distrito Tanya Chutkan permiso para “grabar y transmitir” el juicio de marzo de 2024 o para que el tribunal “publique en YouTube sus livestreams audiovisuales administrados internamente y las grabaciones de los procedimientos”.En caso de que Chutkan rechace esas dos solicitudes, la coalición de medios de comunicación le pide que “publique grabaciones visuales y de audio de los procedimientos al final de cada día en que este asunto se vea en el Tribunal”.Trump pide a la jueza Tanya Chutkan que se aparte del caso federal s...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:37:03 GMT

LONDON — The Scottish Labour Party won a crushing victory over the Scottish National Party in a key by-election Friday morning, as the party eyes a wider revival at the next general election.Labour candidate Michael Shanks won 58.5 percent of the vote in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West contest, vastly outstripping the SNP’s 27.5 percent in a 20.4 percent swing since the last election. While Labour had been expected to re-take the seat — which they last held in 2017 — the margin of victory was notable.The by-election for the House of Commons seat was triggered after local MP Margaret Ferrier was forced out by constituents, following multiple COVID rule breaches in 2020 that sparked fury and saw her booted out of the SNP.Scottish Labour set their sights on the seat, as they seek to challenge SNP hegemony in Scotland. Labour were once-dominant in Scotland but have struggled under a succession of leaders to reverse SNP gains in their heartlands. Under current leader Anas Sar...

Missing San Diego Humane Society pets causes leadership shakeup in Arizona

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:37:03 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Humane Society is struggling to find out what happened to the 318 small animals they delivered to the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. Now, independent investigators have followed the route of the small creatures to a dead end to a Maricopa reptile shop.  “Our leading theory and most people’s leading theory is that these animals ended up as food for reptiles. The very fact that they were sent through an online reptile store called the 'Fertile Turtle' can lead nobody to any other conclusion, we hope it’s not the case, but it’s impossible to think otherwise,” said Gary Weitzman, the president of the San Diego Humane Society.   The Humane Society of Southern Arizona initially offered to help find homes for the 318 rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and rats, delighting the San Diego Humane Society. The animals were shipped out and the trail went cold and messages stopped. Raves popping up beneath San Diego freeways are ‘extremely dangerous’: CHP Now, the b...

Retired Australian top judge and lawyers rebut opponents of Indigenous Voice

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:37:03 GMT

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — A former High Court chief justice and dozens of legal academics on Friday rebutted key arguments used in the public campaign against Australians creating an advocacy body for the Indigenous population.Robert French, who retired as Australia’s most senior judge in 2017, used a speech to the National Press Club to urge Australians to vote to enshrine in the constitution a so-called Indigenous Voice to Parliament at an Oct. 14 vote, the nation’s first referendum in a generation. The Voice is aimed at giving Australia’s most disadvantaged ethnic minority more say on government policies that effect their lives.“A vote in favor of the Voice is a new beginning and something in which this generation and generations to come should be able to take justifiable pride,” French said.Separately, 71 Australian university teachers of constitution law and other fields of public law signed an open letter published Friday that rebutted the argument that the Voice would be “ri...

NEW DELHI (AP) — A flood that burst through a major hydroelectric dam in India’s Himalayan northeast killed at least 31 people, officials said Friday, as ice-cold water swept through mountain towns, washing away houses and bridges and forcing thousands of people to leave their homes.The flood began shortly after midnight Wednesday, when a glacial lake high in the mountains overflowed after a heavy rainfall. The waters cracked open a 6-year-old dam that was the largest in the Indian state of Sikkim, and then cascaded through towns in the Lachan Valley below.It was the latest deadly flood to hit northeast India in a year of unusually heavy monsoon rains. Nearly 50 people died in flash floods and landslides in August in nearby Himachal Pradesh state, record rains in July killed more than 100 people over two weeks in northern India.A report compiled by the Sikkim State Disaster Management Authority in 2019 had identified Lhonak Lake as “highly vulnerable” to flooding that could ca...
