Jimmy Kimmel took to social media Tuesday to blast New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers for suggesting that the late-night television host is worried about his name being on a rumored-to-be released list of people associated with the late Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein, who was last arrested in July 2019 by the FBI and New York Police Department’s Crime Against Children Task Force on sex trafficking charges, was found dead from an apparent suicide in his jail cell in August 2019.  Rodgers comments about Kimmel came during an appearance on ESPN’s "Pat McAfee Show," which also featured Rodgers' former Green Bay Packers teammate and current sports analyst A.J. Hawk.  While the trio were discussing a conspiracy theory having to do with the NFL Super Bowl, Hawk said, “Does this having something to do with the Epstein list that came out?” “That’s supposed to be coming out soon,” Rodgers responded with a laugh. “There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, who are real...

(KRON) -- Californians are turning up the heat as cooler rainy weather arrives, which causes utility bills to rise. But come this month customers will also see increases due to a rate hike, as combined gas and electric bills go up an average of 13 percent, or $34.50 a month."We cannot continue to let them have these increase on top of increase, and there's just no end to it," said Dr. Harold Pierre, pastor at Pilgram Community Church.While PG&E says the bulk of the money is going towards safety upgrades, Pierre says it's forcing his parishioners on fixed incomes to make difficult choices when it comes to food and rent and medicine and heat."And they go home, and they sit in the cold or they pay the PG&E bill. But then they cut down on the, on the medicine or they, they eat from the canned meat and the canned vegetables that we're bagging up and try and stretch that out during the week," Pierre said.And while this rate hike is already approved, PG&E is also requesting the...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:01 GMT

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Zach Edey and No. 1 Purdue dominated from the start at Maryland.That might say a lot about the directions both teams have gone since last season.Edey had 23 points and 12 rebounds, and the Boilermakers cruised past the Terrapins 67-53 on Tuesday night to snap their 19-game home winning streak. For a Purdue team that’s trying to improve upon last season — when it was a No. 1 seed but lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to Fairleigh Dickinson — this was another encouraging sign.Maryland coach Kevin Willard can only hope a matchup like this will give his own team a sense of how much it still needs to improve.“By far the best team in the country. It’s not even close,” Willard said. “You look at their schedule, who they’ve played, where they’ve played, it’s the best team in the country. But for them to come in here and do this to us on our home court, that should be a little bit of an eye-opener for everybody.”The Boilerma...
