CHICAGO — One of the greatest players in the history of DePaul athletics is making a return to the school to take a new position. Chicago native Mark Aguirre, who was a star for the Blue Demons in the late 1970s and early 1980s, is returning to the school to be a special assistant to athletic director DeWayne Peevy. The role begins immediately for a player who earned accolades in high school and college in Chicago before a lengthy NBA career in Dallas, Detroit, and Los Angeles. "It's such an honor to partner and work alongside such a distinguished alumnus as Mark," said Peevy in a statement released by the school. "As we have gotten to know each other over the past few years, it's been apparent we are aligned in our vision for DePaul University, and specifically the athletics department. "I look forward to working more closely with Mark to develop a championship experience in Lincoln Park for our athletes, and jointly pursue community and donor engagement initiatives that allow us ...

New 'Ferrari' trailer teases Adam Driver’s performance as Enzo

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:23:18 GMT

(Motor Authority) -- A movie about Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari that’s been decades in the planning is finally coming to theaters on Dec. 25, and a new trailer has just been released.It follows the first trailer released in August, but this time it has some dialog, giving us our first real taste of Adam Driver’s performance as Il Commendatore.The Michael Mann-directed “Ferrari” focuses on Ferrari’s life during the highly difficult year of 1957, when he was close to 60 years of age, hence the gray hair on Driver.In that year, a Ferrari 335 S race car lost a tire during the Mille Miglia. The car careened into a crowd where it killed the driver, co-driver, and nine spectators, many of whom were children. Ferrari, still mourning from the death of his first son Dino the year earlier, and teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, was put on trial for manslaughter but the case was ultimately dismissed.The movie also stars Penélope Cruz and Shailene Woodley, playing the roles of F...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:23:18 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Houston manager Dusty Baker and third baseman Alex Bregman really have no explanation for why the Astros have been so good in that other retractable-roof stadium in Texas.“I have no clue, to be honest with you,” Bregman said. “But I think the focus has been really good in that clubhouse.”They do know the 250-mile trip north and another big-scoring road game against the Rangers has pulled Houston even in the AL Championship Series.José Abreu hit a three-run homer right after Yordan Alvarez’s go-ahead sacrifice fly, and the Astros rolled to a 10-3 victory in Game 4 on Thursday night. They led 3-0 only four batters into the game, and responded immediately after Texas tied it on Corey Seager’s opposite-field homer in the third inning.Adolis García also homered for the wild-card Rangers, who have dropped two games in a row at home after starting this postseason with seven consecutive wins — six on the road. That included sweeps of the AL’s two winningest...

High School Football: Check out the Class 6A, 32-team state playoff bracket

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:23:18 GMT

Class 6A’s March Madness style, 32-team bracket dropped Friday morning, setting the stage for next week’s first round.Lakeville South, Centennial, Stillwater and Eden Prairie received the No. 1 seeds, as expected.Teams are seeded by section, and then the seeds are scrambled into four separate quadrants of a full-on, single elimination bracket. So a No. 4 seed from one section plays a No. 5 seed from another section, and so on. No teams from within the same section meet in the first round.The Cougars nabbed the top spot in its section by virtue of its mid-September victory over rival Lakeville North. At first glance, that victory carries a lot of weight. As Lakeville South ended up on the opposite side of the bracket as Lakeville North, top-ranked Eden Prairie and defending state champion Maple Grove, and wouldn’t play any of those teams until a potential state championship game.Lakeville North, meanwhile, appears to be on a collision course with Eden Prairie in the...

Twins position breakdown: catcher

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:23:18 GMT

The Twins knew they needed another catcher to pair with Ryan Jeffers last offseason and went out and addressed that need by signing veteran Christian Vázquez to a three-year, $30 million deal.When the season began, Vázquez was starting two out of every three games. But Jeffers’ performance led the Twins into a fairly even playing time split for most of the season, and by the time the postseason rolled around, Vázquez never even saw the field.The Twins seem to prefer having two catchers share the duties to keep both of them fresh so as they move into next year, with both under contract, a similar split seems like the likely path moving forward.2023 RECAPOn the day that the Twins officially signed Vázquez last December, president of baseball operations Derek Falvey said that the two-time World Series-winning backstop would take on “primary duties” behind the plate. And in the first month of the season, he did, playing in 20 games to Jeffers’ 12.But a strong offensive season from Jeffe...
