Utah is adding another transfer to its quarterback room, one with an NFL pedigree

Washington quarterback Sam Huard is pictured before a game against Kent State on Saturday, Sept. 3, 2022, in Seattle. Huard, who played last season at Cal Poly, is transferring to Utah. The University of Utah quarterback room will be adding another young talent to its ranks. Former Washington and Cal Poly quarterback Sam Huard has committed to Kyle Whittingham’s program, both 247 Sports and On3.com reported Tuesday. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Huard comes from an NFL pedigree: his father Damon Huard and uncle Brock Huard were both NFL quarterbacks Sam Huard...

Oh baby, what a whirlwind 24 hours it was for the Bruins’ Brandon Carlo

When those realities intersect, and a player in the midst of a playoff run learns that a baby is about to arrive, a decision has to be made. But babies? Babies know nothing from playoffs. When they decide it’s time to enter the world, they are going to enter the world. SUNRISE, Fla. — The playoffs are a voracious beast. Never satisfied until a title is won, they can swallow a player’s entire world, demanding the type of 24/7 commitment that pushes all other priorities out of the way. Professional...

Jones Act Exacerbates US Ferry System Struggles

Washington State Ferries (WSF) has certainly seen better days. With over 3,500 canceled sailings last year and just 15 of its 21 vessels reliably operating, a recent Seattle Times editorial described the ferry system as “in crisis” and characterized its fleet as “antiquated” and “depleted.” Such language is apt. With 11 of the system’s ferries at least 40 years old and WSF five short of the 26 vessels it considers ideal, new vessels are badly needed. Unfortunately, none are projected to arrive until 2028 at the earliest. The extended delivery...

St. Louis Blues make Drew Bannister full-time coach; Ottawa Senators hire Travis Green

The Ottawa Senators hired Travis Green as coach on Tuesday and the St. Louis Blues removed the interim tag from coach Drew Bannister and signed him to a two-year contract. Bannister, 50, took over behind the bench on Dec. 14 after Craig Berube was fired following a 13-14-1 start. The Blues went 30-19-5 under Bannister but missed the playoffs for a second consecutive season. From Bannister's arrival through the end of the season, the Blues had the 12th-most points (65) and the 10th-best home record (18-9-2) in the league. Green,...

Mavericks should have one goal ahead of Game 1 vs. OKC, according to Dirk Nowitzki

The Dallas Mavericks are set to tip off their second-round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night. This will be the fourth time the franchises have faced off in the postseason since the Thunder left Seattle for OKC. And while fans may recall the Thunder being on the list of teams the Mavs overcame on the way to the 2011 NBA title, Oklahoma City has actually won eight of the last nine playoff games it has played against Dallas. Dirk Nowitzki was a part of every previous matchup,...

‘The Lehman Trilogy’ at Seattle’s ACT a compelling saga of greed

Its timeline: sprawling, unfolding over more than 150 years of American history. Its appearance: imposing, playing out on a stark canvas. Its run time: intimidating, stretching well over three hours with two intermissions. Its scope? Well, “The Lehman Trilogy” is less of an epic than its trappings might suggest. Originally written by Stefano Massini in Italian and translated into dozens of languages, the play was adapted by Ben Power for stagings in London’s West End and Broadway, where it won the 2022 Tony Award for best play. Tracing the history...
