EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Jordan Addison and the Minnesota Vikings hit it off during his pre-draft visit, which ended a vow from coach Kevin O’Connell that they would take him with the 23rd overall pick in the NFL draft if the USC wide receiver was still available.“Once Minnesota came up, I just kept checking my phone,” Addison said.But surely other teams made the same easy, empty promise?“Yeah, they said that, but they didn’t stick to their word, so I’m glad to be a Viking,” said Addison, who was the fourth consecutive wide receiver to come off the board Thursday. “This is where I’m supposed to be at. They believe in me, and I’m just glad to be here.”The Vikings began the second day of the draft without a second-round pick from the trade they made last November with Detroit to acquire Hockenson. They entered Friday with the 87th overall selection, in the third round.The synergy is strong between Addison and the Vikings, who have as rich of a lineage at wide receiv...

Colorado's free public transit program just expanded

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:42:02 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado's free transit program just got a boost.Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill into law on Friday that expands the grant program, designed to offer free public transit rides during peak ozone season. The new law allows transit agencies to roll over the money and use it for rider outreach. It also gives transit agencies more flexibility on when to use the money, as Colorado regions experience ozone season differently. Apartment values rise higher than homes in Denver, Boulder "Our bill expands this successful free transit program to save Coloradans money on fares and further reduce the amount of harmful ground-level ozone pollution released," Rep. Jennifer Bacon, D-Denver, said in a statement when the bill she sponsored passed the House. "Our neighbors along the Front Range deal with some of the worst air quality in the state, and we’re making progress toward cleaning up our air with the free transit program," Bacon said.Air pollution in the Denver metro (KDVR)Zero...
