Review: The Offspring takes another step toward the Rock Hall of Fame

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:27:19 GMT

The Offspring drew a massive crowd to its concert on Saturday (Aug. 5) at Shoreline Amphitheatre at Mountain View.Just how massive? Well, that’s exactly what Noodles (aka Kevin Wasserman) wanted to know and so he asked someone for the attendance figure. And he was downright amazed at what he, ahem, heard back.“It’s a world record here at Shoreline — 1,019,704 people here tonight,” the Offspring guitarist exclaimed to the crowd.Well, not quite 1,019,704. It was actually more like 18,000. Yet, the energy and enthusiasm going on in the crowd as The Offspring ran through an 80-minute set of hits and fan favorites certainly made the gathering feel even larger.“I can’t believe this,” vocalist Dexter Holland remarked of the response from the audience. “It’s volcanic.”Related ArticlesMusic | Review: Jonas Brothers prep for big Yankee Stadium dates with Bay Area show Music | Swifties react to Kobe Br...

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers All-Star shortstop Corey Seager was held out of the Texas Rangers’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s home game against the Miami Marlins because of lingering effects of a right-thumb injury suffered last month.Seager injured the thumb on July 21 diving into second base in the eighth inning against his former team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and was pulled from that game. He was placed on the 10-day injured list on July 22 and returned last Wednesday. In the four games since his return, Seager has three home runs and six RBIs.He also may miss the road trip opener at Oakland on Monday night. “He’s battling that thing,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “It’s going to flare up a little bit at times.

Jags are taking it slow with OL Tyler Shatley after he experienced an irregular heartbeat

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:27:19 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman Tyler Shatley had felt his heart flutter before, several times in recent years.He never bothered to get it checked until Wednesday. But with a few extra minutes to spare following a hot and humid practice, the 10-year NFL veteran decided to ask team trainers if they knew what was going on. It may have been the best call of his professional career.Doctors determined Shatley was experiencing atrial fibrillation, an irregular and rapid heartbeat. The condition can lead to blood clots in the heart and increases the risk of stroke and heart failure.“It’s just the good Lord looking after me,” Shatley said Sunday. “It’s all good now.”The Jaguars put Shatley on blood thinners to help him regulate the condition. But he’s not allowed to take part in any contact drills while on the medication.“They don’t want you to take any hits to the head,” he said. “They’re just nervous about that.”Shatley was back at practice Saturday ...

Las políticas “hostiles” de DeSantis le cuestan a Florida millones de dólares en negocios

(CNN) — Los nuevos proyectos de ley que ha promulgado el gobernador de Florida, el republicano Ron DeSantis, han desatado la controversia en el estado, generando protestas, demandas y advertencia de viaje que señalan que el estado es “abiertamente hostil” hacia las personas negras, inmigrantes, mujeres y miembros de la comunidad LGBTQ+.Las consecuencias ya empezaron a extenderse a una arteria económica clave para un estado libre de impuestos sobre la renta, que depende en gran medida de los impuestos al turismo: el negocio de las convenciones de Florida.Durante las últimas semanas, al menos una decena de organizaciones anunciaron sus planes de cancelar o reubicar las próximas conferencias que iban a realizar en Florida, lo que marca una posición clara al hacer que sus miles de asistentes y millones de dólares fluyan a otros estados considerados más seguros y acogedores.Aunque la oficina de DeSantis le ha restado importancia a la situación al llamarla una “treta impulsada por l...
