DENVER (AP) — Actor and comedian Marlon Wayans says he is being unfairly prosecuted for disturbing the peace over a dispute with an airline employee who he alleges targeted him because of his race.

8 billion-year-old radio signal reaches Earth

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:41:51 GMT

(CNN) — Astronomers have detected a mysterious blast of radio waves that have taken 8 billion years to reach Earth. The fast radio burst is one of the most distant and energetic ever observed.Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are intense, millisecond-long bursts of radio waves with unknown origins. The first FRB was discovered in 2007, and since then, hundreds of these quick, cosmic flashes have been detected coming from distant points across the universe.The burst, named FRB 20220610A, lasted less than a millisecond, but in that fraction of a moment, it released the equivalent of our sun’s energetic emissions over the course of 30 years, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science.Many FRBs release super bright radio waves lasting only a few milliseconds at most before disappearing, which makes fast radio bursts difficult to observe.Radio telescopes have helped astronomers trace these quick cosmic flashes, including the ASKAP array of radio telescopes, locate...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:41:51 GMT

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said the offense is still “a work in progress.”Quarterback Lamar Jackson’s assessment: “Inconsistent.”Running back Gus Edwards? “It’s kind of like a fire right now and everybody is eager to put it out.”Six games into the season, Baltimore’s offense is still trying to find its footing.The Ravens are 15th in scoring with 22.2 points per game, which ranks behind the Houston Texans and is tied with the Washington Commanders.

Last week in London, the Ravens were just 1-for-6 sc...

Callahan: Bills QB Josh Allen has become Bill Belichick-proof

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:41:51 GMT

Three years ago, a weary Bill Belichick confided in the last group of people you would ever expect him to trust.The media.During a private production meeting before a Patriots-Bills game on Monday Night Football, Belichick dismissed Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen as an MVP candidate to ESPN. The suggestion alone apparently made him animated.“There was no question that Bill really got fired up when talking to him about potentially being swept, Josh Allen being one of the MVP favorites,” added Louis Riddick revealed on the December 2020 broadcast. “He was not having any of it.”Yeah, about that.Not only did Allen rip the Patriots that night in a 38-9 rout, passing for 320 yards, four touchdowns and no picks, he hasn’t stopped. Allen is now universally recognized as one of the game’s greats. In the process, he’s become something more: Belichick-proof.Against Belichick, Allen owns the highest passer rating of any quarterback to make more than five career sta...
