DENVER (KDVR) — With over 100 years of history, this multi-million dollar home, known as the Greystone Estate, is back on the market. The structure didn't go unnoticed throughout the years. In fact, many Hollywood actors enjoyed this house, including a stay from Frank Sinatra. Built in 1914, the estate has been around through many of Colorado's historic events including the establishment of Rocky Mountain National Park in 1915, and the opening of ski resorts in Breckenridge, Steamboat Springs and Vail in 1969.

Only reason I’m here is because of the hel...

Zack left with it and never returned, according to court records.Zack drove to a bar in Niceville in the Florida Panhandle, where he befriended a construction company owner. The man learned Zack was living in the pickup tr...

McCarthy becomes the first speaker ever to be ousted from the job in House vote

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 22:01:13 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Speaker Kevin McCarthy was voted out of the job Tuesday in an extraordinary showdown, a first in U.S. history that was forced by a contingent of hard-right conservatives and threw the House and its Republican leadership into chaos.McCarthy’s chief rival, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, forced the vote on the “motion to vacate,” drawing together more than a handful of conservative Republican critics of the speaker and many Democrats who say he is unworthy of leadership.Next steps are uncertain, but there is no obvious successor to lead the House Republican majority.Stillness fell as the presiding officer gaveled the vote closed, 216-210, saying the office of the speaker “is hereby declared vacant.”Moments later, a top McCarthy ally, Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., took the gavel and, according to House rules, was named speaker pro tempore, to serve in the office until a new speaker is chosen.The House then briskly recessed so lawmakers could meet and discuss the pat...

Column: David Ross will be back for Year 5 as Chicago Cubs manager. It should be a make-or-break season.

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 22:01:13 GMT

To no one’s surprise, David Ross will return as Chicago Cubs manager for a fifth season in 2024.President Jed Hoyer lauded Ross again Tuesday during his postmortem at Wrigley Field, crediting the manager for getting the Cubs back into contention after falling 10 games under .500 in early June.There was never any indication Ross’ job was in jeopardy during the 7-15 free fall that ended the season, unlike San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler, who paid the price Friday for his team’s fade.Ross has a .480 winning percentage (262-284) in four years on the job with one postseason appearance in 2020, when the Cubs lost both games of a wild-card series to the Miami Marlins. Kapler had a .543 winning percentage (295-248) in four years with the Giants, including a 107-win season in 2021.Ross obviously is held to a different standard than his predecessor, Joe Maddon, who won a championship in 2016 in the second year of a five-year deal and didn’t receive an exte...

Joe Mazzulla keeping open mind to Celtics starting lineup after Jrue Holiday trade

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 22:01:13 GMT

With the acquisition of Jrue Holiday, the Celtics can send out what would be one of the most fearsome starting fives in the NBA alongside Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and Kristaps Porzingis. But with three weeks before the regular season begins, C’s coach Joe Mazzulla isn’t making any lineup declarations just yet.“We put thought into that,” Mazzulla said. “I think with the roster that we have, I thought that something that was good for us last year was our ability to go back and forth with double big and playing small. So I’ve put thought into it. I haven’t really come across what the best way to go about that is yet, but I want to be as open-minded as we can, knowing that we have a lot of flexibility in the backcourt and in the frontcourt.”The aforementioned unit seems the most likely, given that Mazzulla already announced Derrick White as the starting point guard this summer and the big prices the Celtics paid for Holiday and Porzingis. It would send Al Horford ...

Red Sox notebook: Alex Cora has high hopes for rookies Enmanuel Valdez, Ceddanne Rafaela

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 22:01:13 GMT

Over the last month of the season three of Boston’s top prospects — Ceddanne Rafaela, Enmanuel Valdez and Wilyer Abreu — got extensive playing time in their first taste of the big leagues.Red Sox manager Alex Cora frequently praised all three rookies throughout September, and towards the end of Monday’s year-end press conference he offered his thoughts on what could be next for two of them.Valdez and Rafaela both have impressive tools, Cora said, but need to improve in crucial areas if they’re going to become reliable everyday big leaguers. For Valdez, the defense needs work, while Rafaela has to improve the quality of his at bats or he could be exposed by big league pitchers.One of the prospects acquired in last summer’s Christian Vazquez trade, Valdez could potentially have an opportunity to earn regular playing time at second base next season. Over the final month he largely platooned at the position with Pablo Reyes, and as things stand he’s in line...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 22:01:13 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday criticized his former boss-turned-rival, Donald Trump, for calling retired Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a traitor over phone calls he made to China in the final stormy months of their administration. “Frankly what Donald Trump said about him in that tweet, about treason and death, was utterly inexcusable,” Pence said at a national security and foreign policy forum at Washington’s Georgetown University.Pence also reacted to the news that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had been ousted from his post by a contingent of hard-right conservatives, saying, “Chaos is never America’s friend.”The event was the first in a series of conversations with 2024 Republican presidential candidates on the topic co-hosted by The Associated Press and Georgetown’s Institute of Politics and Public Service. Trump, in a recent social media post, lashed out at Milley over calls he made to his Chinese ...
