Keeler: Deion Sanders’ secret? The harder you root for CU Buffs to fail, the stronger Coach Prime gets. “They don’t like it because they know he’s going to be good.”

Cripes, he scares them. If you’re a college football coach, Deion Sanders is the telephone, the automobile and the atom bomb all rolled into one, dropped in a Louis Vuitton bag from a Mile High.Because if it works, if he works, oh, Lordy. It changes the game. It changes everything. Forever.“Opposing coaches around the country ask me more about Deion than fans ask me about Deion,” FOX Sports analyst and former CU Buffs quarterback Joel Klatt told me earlier this month. “And they don’t like it. They don’t like it because they know he’s going to be good.”The fear is the fun part. Coach’s Prime revolution will be televised, and if you’re a CU fan, the louder the protests from the establishment, the sweeter the compliment. Boulder is college football’s new Trinity Site, the sort of experiment in power and process that has NCAA lifers rooting for a 3-9 fall.At least Pitt’s Pat Narduzzi had the stones to stick a name behind his anti-Sanders barbs. Which is more than you can say for at leas...

(KRON) -- A test drive of Tesla's self-driving technology revealed a significant error when the vehicle nearly plowed through a stop sign into oncoming traffic in Santa Barbara on Thursday, according to video shared by The Dawn Project founder Dan O'Dowd. Tesla Devils Slide crash: Doctor has his medical license suspended O'Dowd was in Santa Barbara for an open discussion with Tesla investor Ross Gerber. The two debated the risks and benefits of autonomous driving systems before hopping into a Tesla Model S for a test drive of Tesla's newly released Full Self-Driving software. The video begins with casual conversation amongst the Tesla's passengers. Gerber is behind the wheel, and O'Dowd is in the passenger seat as the Tesla S comes upon what appears to be a garbage truck backing out of a driveway. The vehicle slows as if to stop and wait for the truck to go, but Gerber "disengages" the self-driving mode and takes control of the wheel. "I disengaged," Gerber notes that the car hes...

CHICAGO (AP) — Elvis Andrus is staying optimistic as the Chicago White Sox try to rebound from a shaky first half.It helps that the AL Central is one of the major leagues’ worst divisions.“You’re always a hot streak away to get into the race,” Andrus said. “This year our division hasn’t been the best so far, which is kind of good for us in that regard.”Andrus provided a big lift Saturday, hitting a game-ending single that sent the White Sox to a 5-4 victory over Kenley Jansen and the Boston Red Sox.

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 14:02:28 GMT

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO — México impuso a partir del sábado un arancel del 50% a la importación de maíz blanco con el objetivo de impulsar la producción nacional y evitar el ingreso de grano modificado genéticamente, según el presidente.La medida, publicada la víspera en el Diario Oficial de la Federación, estará vigente hasta fin de año y tiene lugar en medio de la controversia comercial abierta con Estados Unidos y Canadá sobre maíz transgénico.El maíz blanco fue uno de los alimentos de la canasta básica que quedaron exentos de aranceles a principios de año en un intento del gobierno de controlar la inflación en el país.
