NEW YORK — Before a late night rehearsal in December, Terrence Floyd couldn’t remember the last time he squatted on a drum throne, sticks in hand and ready to perform. Surely, he said, it had not happened since his brother, George Floyd, died at the hands of police in Minneapolis last May, sparking a global reckoning over systemic racism and police brutality. Now, Terrence is lending a talent he honed as a youngster in a church band to help produce and promote a forthcoming album of protest anthems inspired by the Black Lives Matter demonstrations prompted in part by his brother’s death. “I want to pay my respects to my brother any way I can, whether it’s a march, whether it’s just talking to somebody about him, or whether it’s doing what I do and playing the drums,” Terrence told The Associated Press. “His heartbeat is not beating no more,” he said, “but I can beat for him.” The untitled project, set for release one year after George Floyd’s death, follows a long history … [Read more...] about George Floyd kin joins protest anthem album project

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s highly anticipated sit-down with Oprah Winfrey is already being slammed by one royal expert . On Sunday, CBS released the first two promos for the tell-all where the media mogul is heard asking the Duchess of Sussex : "were you silent or were you silenced?" Royal biographer Robert Jobson said the trailer was filled with "over the top, melodramatic nonsense." "The queen and the royal family are not the Corleone family of Windsor," he told U.K.’s DailyMail on Monday. "There are no hitmen or heavies going around silencing people. Meghan, whilst a working royal, was always protected by a team of Scotland Yard officers. Thankfully, she was never in danger physically and Harry knows that."

Staying or going: Predicting what Broncos will do with Shelby Harris, their other nine free agents
Their leader in interceptions and defensive snaps last year. A former second-round pick. A versatile defensive lineman who can sack quarterbacks and bat down their passes. And two players who were in their second tour with the franchise. New Broncos general manager George Paton, while canvasing the league for upgrades at multiple positions, also has to make decisions on his 10 unrestricted free agents scheduled to hit the open market March 17. Paton has no connection to any of the players so his decision will be based on input from coaches and scouts and his game-tape evaluations. In case Paton needs assistance, here is a rundown of the free agents and whether they should be re-signed or allowed to walk. Jeremiah Attaochu Position: Outside linebacker. Age as of Sept. 1: 28. 2020 season: Von Miller’s early September ankle injury created a chance for Attaochu to start, but his season was interrupted by a Week 3 quad issue that allowed Malik Reed to seize a … [Read more...] about Staying or going: Predicting what Broncos will do with Shelby Harris, their other nine free agents
Rockies’ Trevor Story knows how to cut down strikeouts, maintain power
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — One of Rockies outfielder Sam Hilliard’s goals is to cut down on strikeouts , which soared to 36.8% during last year’s shortened season. Hilliard should turn to all-star shortstop Trevor Story for some tips. Story made an immediate impact as a rookie in 2016, slugging 27 homers in 97 games before his season ended because of a thumb injury . Still, he struck out in 31.3% of his plate appearance that season, and that number rose to 34.4% in 2017. Since then, however, Story’s K-rate has come down (25.6% in 2018, 26.5% in ’19 and, 24.3% in ’20) but he’s still been able to hit for power. “A lot of times it’s about not missing your pitch early in the count,” Story said. “For me, it was being consistent in the tempo of my load, and controlling my effort level. “With Sam, probably more than anybody, his 75% effort swing produces crazy power. So he can be accurate which leads to better decisions on close pitches.” Coors challenge.
