AUSTIN (KXAN) — Longhorns sophomore defensive end Ethan Burke didn't decide to pursue college football until the middle of his senior year at Westlake High School, and he certainly didn't think it was going to be at the University of Texas at Austin.With four solo tackles and a sack in the fourth quarter against Alabama to help the Longhorns beat the Crimson Tide 34-24 on Saturday, Burke's path to stay home and play at Texas was a long and winding one.

Andrew Cuomo, against the state's Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government, or COELIG.

And initially, when he was still in office, JCOPE approved the book's publication.But after a series of scandals, Cuomo fell out of public favor and ultimately resigned. That's when JCOPE hit the former governor with formal ethics violations, working to block him from profiting off the book. JCOPE was dismantled by the legislature and replaced by COELIG, an entity meant to be more independent of the executive branc...Ravena downs Catskill 47-6 in Sunday night football action

After missing 44 games with a fractured finger, Rockies slugger Kris Bryant was activated from the injured list Monday and returned to the lineup just in time to attempt to play spoiler against his former team.Cole Tucker, who is 4-for-8 with a .600 on-base percentage in five big-league games this season, was designated for assignment in Colorado’s corresponding roster move.Bryant was batting clean-up in his return, playing first base. Rockies manager Bud Black said Bryant will play some first base, outfield and designated hitter in the remaining weeks of the season. Bryant is unlikely to play every game.“I think he continued to feel (pain) as time went on. I think he feels it a little bit now,” Black said. “The pain lessens. You get a little bit of flexibility in your finger. You start doing more baseball activities. … The last 10 days, he’s ramped up his hitting. He’s ramped up his defense. He’s kept his legs going the whole time. And I think Kris felt as t...Denver council approves five more settlements over police response to racial justice protests

Caden Sterns cannot catch a break.The third-year safety’s tough run of injury luck continued with a knee injury Sunday that those in the Broncos organization fear is serious.Head coach Sean Payton on Monday said only that Sterns was undergoing medical imaging on the injury and would not confirm an NFL Network report that he suffered a season-ending torn patellar tendon.Sterns shot into the backfield on a Josh Jacobs run on the first play of the second quarter, but went to the turf awkwardly as he attempted to make a tackle.He appeared to immediately assume the injury was serious, stomping and punching the turf while being attended to by trainers and then wiping away tears as he was carted off the field.The emotion is understandable for the former Texas standout, who missed all but five games last year due to a hip injury and was primed for a breakout season. Instead, he played just two defensive snaps before getting hurt again.“It’s tough, especially in there makin...7 injured in multi-vehicle crash in South Los Angeles
