Shortly before Vikings practice got underway on Tuesday afternoon at TCO Performance Center, star receiver Justin Jefferson emerged from the locker room. He danced his way onto the field, then went on to participate mandatory minicamp, putting to rest any speculation that he might skip amid ongoing contract negotiations.It’s safe to assume general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O’Connell, not to mention every Vikings fan across the state of Minnesota, breathed sighs of relief in that moment. Not only does Jefferson bring an infectious smile to the field, his presence ensured he wouldn’t be holding out.“You can just tell when he’s walking the halls in our building,” O’Connell said. “Just the energy and the juice he brings.”Meanwhile, star edge rusher Danielle Hunter was not in attendance, which was not surprising considering he has been trying to secure a pay raise himself. He is only set to make $5.5 million this...

LONDON (AP) — Artificial intelligence has been used to extract John Lennon's voice from an old demo to create “the last Beatles record,” decades after the band broke up, Paul McCartney said Tuesday. McCartney, 80, told the BBC that the technology was used to separate the Beatles' voices from background sounds during the making of director Peter Jackson's 2021 documentary series, “The Beatles: Get Back."

Jackson was “able to extricate John’s voice from a ropey little bit of cassette and a piano,” he said.

'I've lost my confidence,' says Cardinals catcher Contreras amid prolonged slump

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:31:16 GMT

ST. LOUIS - It's the first St. Louis Cardinals season without Yadier Molina as the primary catcher in nearly two decades, and things haven't quite gone as planned for his heir. Willson Contreras signed a five-year, $87.5 million contract in the offseason, the largest deal the Cardinals have ever rewarded to a free agent who didn't previously play for the franchise previously. It's a deal the three-time All Star signed with the intention to not only follow the footsteps of Molina, but join a competitive squad. Police tie 12-year-old girl to overnight crime spree Less than halfway through his first Cardinals campaign, Contreras has dealt many roadblocks that have left those visions unfulfilled. Last month, as the Cardinals struggled to navigate out of an eight-game losing skid, Contreras was informed of a plan that led to fewer starts at catcher and, for nearly a week, being used exclusively at designated hitter. The plan essentially stripped his duties as starting catcher at a piv...
